Questions to Consider for the Deeper Dive

2. What in the sermon particularly inspired, encouraged, or challenged you?
3. Beyond Sundays, in what ways has your worship experience been impacting your relationship with God, neighbor (near and far), and/or yourself?
Contact Pastor Al or Randy Chang if you have any questions.

Solidarity for Sanctuary Party, Saturday, May 16 (Sponsored by Faith In Action’s Immigrant Families Committee)
The aim of this Solidarity for Sanctuary Party and Fundraiser is to launch two funds: a Sanctuary Legal Defense Fund and an Emergency Fund Supporting Homeless Families.
The Sanctuary Legal Defense Fund addresses the critical problem that, overwhelming, the newcomer families and Leaders in Faith in Action face: how to pay for legal representation.
The Emergency Fund Supporting Homeless Families addresses the absence of basic funds for living expenses from which so many newcomer families suffer.
