Hal & Nancy Thomas shared with us this week about their recent trip to visit and minister alongside Bolivian Friends. They also shared a great deal about the history of Bolivia Yearly Meeting, and Northwest Yearly Meeting's involvement there.

This week we participated in our city-wide food drive, Feed the Need. Our pastoral intern, Sarah Klatt Dickerson, brought us a message, and then we participated in a creative and fun worship element of praying over the food we collected. Here's the message, Active Peace: Being Like Jesus, which also includes a video Sarah made of some of our kids talking about hunger.

We're in the midst of a series on "Songs for the Journey" based on the Psalms of ascent, and in the last two weeks we heard from Friends Nate Macy on As the Mountains Surround Jerusalem and Shawn McConaughey on Journey with the Creator.
