We started the year with our support of the Interfaith Network Shelter at PBUMC. If you remember, I had pulled back some with respect to my enthusiasm for the program because of the failure to provide sufficient and appropriate guests. It was better this year which made our contributions more valuable and more effective. We were major contributors to setting up and taking down the shelter. Our church provided dinners and overnight hosts during the two-week shelter.
Our connection to PBUMC exists throughout the year with our support of Project Grace. We contribute financially and we prepare and serve dinner to more than
110 guests on the second Wednesday of every month. Beau is the leader and the key to our success in Project Grace. We have had help from members of our committee and other church members. It’s been great for so many to see what we’re accomplishing (and their help is appreciated).
We continue to support the United Mission to Nepal through our covenant relationship with our UMC Global Ministries missionary, Katherine Parker. We have supported Katherine since 2019, and she has visited our church twice during return visits to our country. I will be sharing more information about the mission in Nepal later in the year.
We continue to provide financial support for Shoreline Community Services, and we will be hosting their Fall Festival again on Saturday, October 19th. Our church has also provided financial support for CCSA, the San Diego Guatemala Project and the Autism Society of San Diego. We will be helping CCSA with their school backpack drive in July.
Thank you for your continued support. Please reach out to me with any ideas or concerns with respect to our committee’s activities.
Stan Johnson
