Karter's 1st Annual Special Needs Fashion Show
2019-03-23 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Emeryville Center for Community Life, 4727 San Pablo Avenue, Emeryville, CA, 94608, United States
On 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.

First Congregational Church & City of Refuge UCC - Ash Wednesday Service
2019-03-06 18:30 - 20:30 | First Congregational Church of Oakland, 2501 Harrison Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, 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

2019-02-05 20:00 - 21:30 | Yoshi’s Oakland, 510 Embarcadero West, Oakland, CA, United States
A brief span of time has proven to be more than enough to become an established, admirable and consistent contributor to the music industry. A classic presence, unique vocal stylings & approachable humility are just a few of her attributes. After years of background singing with Donald Lawrence & Company, Ms. Anita Wilson emerged as a solo recording artist in 2011 with the soulful & heartfelt ballad “Speechless”. Ms. Anita has allowed her passion for God, music and creative freedom to mark out a custom and relevant lane. This space includes influence from the many artists and genres she has appreciated from an early age. Her Debut Album “Worship Soul” (2013), her Sophomore Album “Vintage Worship” (2015) and her 3rd Album “Sunday Song” were all GRAMMY Nominated for Best Gospel Album and prove to be timeless bodies of work.
Ms. Anita Wilson is the President and CEO of Reflection Media, Inc., a content company which owns both the “Worship Soul” and “Sunday Song” albums, videos and more. Rick Robinson (Husband) and Anita are partners in life and in music as they consistently write and produce classic hits. MAW’s hands on approach to every detail of her business and career has solidified her longevity as a singer, songwriter and music executive.
Local artist Aliya Hall will open for Ms Anita Wilson – Here’s To Life!
