The Worship Work Area requests your assistance in helping us understand what elements of worship provide you with a meaningful and rich experience. Please join us Sunday, August 20 and Sunday, October 15 for our final Worship Cafés following (abbreviated) worship services. The Cafés are a follow-up to our Worship Survey conducted earlier this summer and are an opportunity to engage in fellowship as we explore ideas around our worship experiences. The simple, guided questions shared in small groups allows each person to express his or her thoughts, and will help us discover together what is most meaningful to each other in the important area of worship.
Please join our Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study at First United Methodist Church as we begin our fall class on Wednesday, August 30. We will be using a guide by N.T. Wright to take a deeper look at the book of John. All women are encouraged to attend this dynamic group. Nothing required… just show up and have an open heart.
Join us on Wednesday, August 23 at our Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study as we welcome Jayne Gongol.

San Diego is home to the 4th largest homelessness population in the U.S. Father Joe's Villages provide a continuum of care to 1,800 individuals every day including 780 children and over 200 military vets. Father Joes offers a on-stop-shop approach by offering housing assistance, healthcare, food, clothing, education, job training, mental health, addiction treatment, and child development services.
