During the month of November we remember those who have died, especially those most dear to us.

Please bring with you to church framed photos of loved ones to be placed during the month on the altar. 

This month's Green Challenge is themed "Consumption" and the Green Team came up with a multitude of great ideas. 

Sadly we saw the narrow defeat of Proposition 37 this month, which would have required the labeling of GMO foods. 

The Consumption Green Challenge offers great responses on how we can be informed and empowered in our buying choices.  

We are hoping we get to share 13+ more years of worship, being at work in the world, radical church furniture re-arrangements, confirmations, weddings, salsa dances, baptisms, conflict resolutions, memorials, celebrations, potlucks with great food, 

campus ministries, small groups, luncheons, staff high energy dance parties, and so much more community life. 

We have had many wonderful, deserving organizations in the running for the Social Justice awards and the following three were elected in the annual voting process:

Lutheran Volunteers Corps will receive $1,000 

East Bay Sanctuary Covenant will receive $500

Lutheran Peace Fellowship will be receiving $500

VOTE on Sunday, November 25, 2012.

As a membership organization, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is unique to the financial services world in many ways. Members choose who will represent them on the national board of directors governing the organization as well as choose their local chapter leadership board. 

Thrivent Financial supports our Community Meal with funding every year and has just awarded our campus ministry a $500 grant to match our parking fundraising during football games.
