Rev. Patricia Farris Column

September 2021 Horizons

I know the plans I have for you, says our God, plans for welfare and not for harm, to give you a future and a hope.
— Jeremiah 29:11

A future and a hope. What an amazing gift to receive from God’s creating Spirit as we move together into the month of September. We still have a lot of work ahead of us—to keep one another safe and healthy, to lean into becoming a church that is more and more both in-person and online, to give generously wherever people are in need, especially now through our partnership with the church in Haiti.

In the September Sentinel newsletter, we interviewed Allan Walker, long-time First UMC member and church photographer for over 20 years. To read the interview and view a selection of photos Allan has taken over the years, go to: www.santamonicaumc.org/church-newsletter
We're excited to announce that Rev. Larry Young will be leading a new Zoom class entitled “Reading the Old Testament Through Jewish Eyes,” beginning on Thursday, October 7 and running for 6 weeks. The class will focus on the Torah - the first five Old Testament books, and will follow Rabbi Evan Moffic's workbook and videos. Sign up now with Rev. Larry! Email: lyoung@ljyoung.net
We are so blessed to have a beautiful church to worship in. Happy Monday, friends! We hope this is a peaceful week.
We are looking forward to you joining us for worship tomorrow at 10 a.m. in person or online. Then after worship, join us for fellowship outside in the courtyard or on Zoom at 11 a.m.
