San Bernardino's UCC Church

Hello all - spring has sprung, the tomb is empty, and we are full speed ahead in the resurrection life! Right? Well, there are certainly some wonderful and important opportunities coming up soon for us all. This Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. we have the joy of a violin, 'cello and piano concert in our sanctuary. The violinist has been practicing in the library all week and so just ask any of the staff: you are in for a treat!

And then all are invited to head to Congregation Emanu El at 6 p.m. for the Holocaust Remembrance service of prayer, an interfaith yearly event which is a powerful opportunity to remember and to recommit ourselves to working against genocide in our world today. If you can't come, consider taking a moment at http://www.savedarfur.org/content
to learn about the issues in Darfur and to sign petitions to the President and the United Nations, pressuring them to take action in the region as violence spreads.

And of course, the rummage sale is approaching. Clean out those closets now, and call the church office to arrange a pick up if you need one. This congregation must have the most organized closets around, with how much we manage to sell every year. I know, except for what we take back home with us. Do plan to come and help - it's a joyous fun time, even in the midst of the hard work.

Lastly - consider joining the "Y'all Come" Choir for this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. for a quick run through - and then sing the Hallelujah Chorus as the worship anthem for the week. There's a way to kick off the Easter season! See you in worship!
