POV is planning a trip to Japan, June 1-15, 2025, to visit our sister Heian church in Kyoto, and other points of interest in the beautiful country of Japan. We have met with travel agent, Doug Ojiri, who is beginning to take flight reservations for those who are planning to join us. Please add your name and email to the list in the Narthex if you are interested in joining us, and I will send you the latest information.

SD Partnership Picnic is Sunday, Nov 10 at POVUCC. 12:30 gather, 1:00 meal blessing. Spend a fun afternoon with your San Diego Parthership friends. Fried chicken will be provided. Bring a side dish to share. Volunteers needed for setup/cleanup. Regular lunch will not be served that day. If you want to eat, join us at the picnic!

Many of you have asked how to support those affected by Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene. The United Church of Christ has a dedicated webpage that provides information on how to donate and volunteer remotely with Crisis Cleanup Phone Banking.
