Greetings on the 12th Day of Christmas. Prayers for a safe and meaningful day.

There are several members of our congregation who have worked, or are working, as chaplains. As the report below indicates, their work is needed and appreciated.

The “Celebration of Life” service for Jonathan Matthews will be held on Saturday, January 7, 11:00 am at Cornerstone Community Church of God in Christ, 626 Drake Avenue, Marin City, CA. The repast will be held at the MLK School on 200 Phillips Drive in Marin City (within walking distance of the Church).

 
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Better Africa Foundation in memory of Jonathan Matthews (he served for many years on its Board). Checks should be written to the Village Baptist Church, 3835 Cypress Dr, Petaluma, CA 94954. Please make sure to indicate Better Africa Foundation in the memo line. You may also donate online at www.villagebaptisthome.org. Under the tab “Giving” indicate it is for work in Africa.
 

Pastor Jim will lead Together In Spirit tonight at 6:00
