This Sunday, May 17th from 5:00-6:00pm, our Roots & Fruits Contemplative Practice will hold its second meeting via Zoom. It's not too late to join hosts, Robert and Jimi Valiente-Neighbours, and the rest of our POVUCC friends who have begun the virtual contemplative practice. For those interested, the practice incorporates art, meditation (or, as the Quakers call it, “silent worship”), reflections on passages from the Bible and/or Christian authors, and other topics. If you would like to participate, please send an email to Jimi Valiente-Neighbours (see directory for contact information). if preferred, send a text. When you contact Jimi, please share your full name. 

POVUCC needs volunteers for our next delivery to the Storefront Shelter, which will take place on Thursday, May 14th from 6:00-6:45pm. Please contact Susan Namba  to volunteer.

The center is doing better financially, but could still greatly benefit from both financial and food donation support. Financial donations to maintain their Hunger Program can be mailed to CCSA, 4167 Rappahannock Ave, San Diego, CA, 92117 . If you are able to volunteer, please contact Brad at 619-405-0878.

Hello POVUCC friends! I am putting out a call to all of you to create video recordings of personal performances to share for Sunday Special Music. I hope to incorporate you and your talents into our weekly "Worship from Home" resources as a way to further promote our varied yet unified voices each week. I am certain we can agree that it would be wonderful to see faces of our friends during this shelter in place period. Please send videos of singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or any other kind of special music idea that you think might suit our services. If you need assistance with any aspect of this request, please feel free to reach out to me, Music Director, Andy Mathews, at music@povucc.org.
