Lee Murdock, Director of the Homeless Coalition of Yakima County, will present about the challenges of homelessness in Yakima and what is being done about it. We will also have a more informal conversation with Ms. Murdock after the service.
The regular service is cancelled due bad weather and slick roads. Please stay warm and safe. Rev. Ken Jones is walking to church and putting the coffee on for anyone who wants to drop in.
Bring the family and join us for food and fellowship after a short reflection led by Merrill Thomsen.

All are invited to this informal gathering with time for personal remembrances of the past year and hopeful plans for the year to come. Join in the Fellowship Hall between 10 AM and Noon for community, conversation and coffee. Stay the whole time or just drop in.
