1. May 24th from 5- 7 pm, “Sanctuary orientation for SCC”

In early Jan 2018, Skyline Community church declared itself to be a sanctuary congregation. The greatest community  “sanctuary” needs in Alameda County are for accompaniment teams.  Members do not need to be Spanish speaking and the commitment is only a few hours a month.

If you’d like to learn more, come and join us for a presentation by Miriam Noriega and Mirtha Ninayauer, co chair of  SCC’s justice and witness team and co-founder of the Nueva Esperanza Preschool.

Sanctuary: Caminando Hacia la Libertad is a 2-day convening that serves to strengthen and organize people of faith in our sanctuary work across California to respond in an increasingly dangerous climate for immigrant communities in 2018. Join us to learn tools and best practices to create a more prophetic path towards liberation, caminando hacia la libertad, where all can live with dignity and wholeness.

We recognize the fragility of the earth and our own capacity to do harm. It is urgent that, as earth’s stewards, we make a commitment to our children and future generations to minimize our impact on the earth. We are working locally and globally in these efforts.
