We will be featuring congregations and emerging congregations periodically to share the good news!

This week we are featuring the Santa Barbara Congregation!

The Santa Barbara congregation finished the Christmas scripture story with an Epiphany scripture and participating in the gifts from the wise. Our manger was filled with packets of new socks for the Showers of Blessing project for those unhoused in our communities. I blessed the socks for warm feet and warm hearts that they are loved. After church Kathy McGuire decided to type up our gift story with the prayer offered and indiicate who is sending them love for each pair of socks. We have also re-committed to our NA & AA friends for a space for their Higher Power to bring them healing. The Congregation B’Nai B’rith temple, our neighbors, will be vacating their premises next month for a major construction project. Many places of diverse faith traditions are offering space to them for the next 14 months. We are sharing our space for after school Hebrew studies, youth events, and other classes of value for their learning about Judaic culture, religion and Mitzvah service to others. We are being the Good Neighbor engaged in something new!
