Shell Ridge Community Church Walnut Creek and “Feed the Kids”
Shell Ridge Community Church in Walnut Creek has whole heartedly supported “Let’s Feed the Kids,” a Contra Costa County Multi-faith Action Coalition group formed under the Food Security Task Force. Financial donations, paper products, diapers of all sizes, and many hours of volunteer time have been given to this group as they provided families in the Shelter Inc. transitional housing in Pittsburg with food at the end of each month.
Shell Ridge also currently with LFTK provided 16 volunteers and 170 jars of peanut butter and once again financial donations so food could be provided for 277 families from 9 Richmond/San Pablo schools during Winter Break partnering with Temple Beth Hillel. The Winter Break project provided each family with a box of durable foods such as tuna fish, beans, rice, oats, canned chicken, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, tomato sauce, beef stew and a science game; a second box was full of fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Each family also received a frozen turkey. This food was provided during the holiday break when federal school breakfasts and lunches are not available for the children. No children should be hungry.

An Invitation from the Pastor of First Baptist, Berkeley
Greetings, PCBA friends!
This Sunday, November 8, at FBC Berkeley we will welcome an amazing woman to our pulpit, Rev. Dr. Barbara Jim-George, minister and social activist, member of Allen Temple Baptist Church, founder and CEO of a new non-profit: Transforming Ministries Group.
Barbara works directly with young people endangered by sexual trafficking on the streets of Oakland. She is also a graduate of ABSW, with both MDiv and DMin degrees from our seminary.
I’ve chosen some powerful hymns and songs for us to sing, to go with what is sure to be a prophetic word from Dr. Jim-George.
Won’t you join us for worship at 10:00 am? We meet at ABSW in Crouch Classroom (first floor of Hobart Hall, 2606 Dwight Way in Berkeley).
Food and fellowship follow the service. At 11:45 am, Barbara will lead our Adult Education Forum, and you are warmly invited to stay for this, if you can.
Parking is on the street or in the ABSW parking lot off Benvenue Avenue (next to the ABSW apartment buildings).
If you need any further info I’ll be glad to offer it!
Blessings,
Nancy Hall
Pastor
