This Sunday, March 27th, Janey Curry, a member of our church and a political science professor at Santa Clara University, will lead a forum on the current crisis in Ukraine. She will address not only the war, but also the refugee crisis, and how the war could trigger a response from NATO. Janey specializes in comparative politics with an emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe, and has lived in both Poland and Ukraine. In fact, she teaches students every summer at the University of Warsaw, Poland, where she has a permanent position. Should be a good one! Hope to see you there (or online).

We’re so excited to have you join us in person for our next Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley project on Saturday, April 30th! Bring your hearts and your energy and volunteer for this worthwhile event. Rebuilding Together brings communities and volunteers together to rehabilitate the homes of low income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so that they may live in warmth, safety, and independence. Past projects have not only brought joy and happiness to the homeowner but have also left our volunteers with a sense of accomplishment and feelings of gratification knowing that they have helped someone who is truly in need. Go to Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley to register by April 11th.
Sunday, March 20, 2022, 11:45am via Zoom and in person in the Friendship Room

Did you know our Church has a “quirky” side? It’s true, at least according to the San Jose Mercury News. Our Labyrinth was included in a recent SJMN supplement called “Mysteries and Curiosities of Silicon Valley.” If you missed it, check out the copy posted on our Outreach and Community Service board in Fellowship Hall. Our Labyrinth is open to all.
