Here are some ideas of ways to start a chain reaction of generosity by doing something kind for another person:

• Buy a coffee for the person behind you in line
• Visit someone who is lonely, sit with them and listen
• Pay for someone’s groceries at the check-out counter
• Send an encouraging personal email to a friend or colleague
• Cook double tonight and take the extra to a friend or neighbor’s house
• Buy some flowers and give one to each person you pass by
• Read poetry or sing at a nursing home
• Share how you’ve been generous on social media #GivingTuesday to inspire others

With your support, we can improve the lives of many, and help make the world a better place.

Join us as we learn how the Early Church found its way forward after Pentecost as we communally read the Book of Acts.

Beginning December 1, 2022, we will meet at 7:00PM, two Thursdays a month over Zoom.

Each month we have a reading assignment of 2 to 3 chapters meeting twice: first to examine the culture, the arguments, the language and secondly to deal with the Big Issues and Scary Stuff we find in the text.

Contact [email protected] if you would like to join us. 

Urban Sanctuary is at 80 S. 5th Street, located near the intersection of San Fernando and 5th Street. 

To avoid delays, we invite you to consider using 10th Street (from the north of downtown) and 11th Street (from the South of downtown and I280) to San Fernando.  Turn toward and then take a right on 5th Street.  Urban Sanctuary is at the end of the dead-end street and there is parking onsite.  

Urban Sanctuary is hosting a screening in partnership with Interfaith Power and Light

Sunday, May 1, 10 a.m. to noon

Post Screening Discussion 12 -12:30 p.m.

Armed with a wealth of evidence, twenty-one courageous leaders file a ground-breaking lawsuit against the U.S. government, asserting it has willfully acted over six decades to create the climate crisis, thus endangering their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. If these young people are successful, they will not only make history, they will change the future.

As the relief, refugee, and development mission fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Week of Compassion works with partners to alleviate suffering throughout the world.
