First Congregational Church & City of Refuge UCC – Ash Wednesday Service
First Congregational Church of Oakland 2501 Harrison Street, Oakland, CA, United States“Ash Wednesday” is a day often observed in quiet contemplation and preparation for the time of Lent. Lent is a time of preparation and observation of Resurrection Sunday, commercially referred to as “Easter.” By observing the 40 days of Lent, we acknowledge and try to replicate Christs' sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent can be observed by fasting, both from food and various activities or ways of behaving. Join us on Wednesday, March 6th at 6:30 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Oakland in observance of Ash Wednesday. See the flyer included for more details. If you get time, read or listen to this passage (Isaiah 58:1-12). It kind of breaks down Isaiah’s understanding of the spiritual practice of fasting: dedication to the work of justice and restoration. Peace & love, Lay Pastor Marilyn

Karter’s 1st Annual Special Needs Fashion Show
Emeryville Center for Community Life 4727 San Pablo Avenue, Emeryville, CA, United StatesOn Saturday, March 23rd we are hosting our very 1st Annual Special Needs Fashion Show at the Emeryville Center for Community Life ECCL from 1-4pm! This is a free event, I just want to show our community the greatness in these babies and educate what these disabilities look like and ultimately offer a fresh approach to Inclusion! Karter is four, has a wheelchair and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Over his four years, we have unfolded and become a support platform for local families. We are showing what it is to live boldly and confidently even in our position. This was the birth of the Let Me Be Great Foundation, our disability awareness nonprofit. I made up in my mind that as long as my baby would fight, I would fight. I would be his first advocate and I would see to it that he would be able to be his best self and Great in society at that. These special needs children have our love but need the support of the community just like every other group speaking out. For more info, visit: https://www.facebook.com/TLMBGF/
