 Wednesday, January 15, 2025: Announcement for Our Potential Move - and we need your comments now! Dear Sisters and Brothers of Emmaus: On Monday Linda, Marcie and David visited with Lindsey Kerr, the Pastor of Christ Church Methodist in Santa Rosa in order to assess whether moving to Christ Church for our liturgies would be advantageous for all of us at Emmaus. Many of us have worked with Lindsey and consider her to be an excellent leader who is courageous and energetic. We received a warm welcome from Lindsey who showed us around Christ Church and opened the room in which we may meet. It’s not in the church – but an unused classroom that’s part of the larger set of buildings in the complex.  The room has space enough for us, lots of windows and some storage. They are buying new tables for the room. The room used to be a classroom so there’s plenty of room for our celebrations. Because it was a classroom, there’s also potential for hanging posters and making it our own. ...

Thursday, May 15, 2025: *Quote from Pope Leo X1V*:  Because this Church, as long as I breathe, will be a home for the homeless, and a rest for the weary. " Brothers, sisters… I speak to you, especially to those who no longer believe, no longer hope, no longer pray, because they think God has left. To those who are fed up with scandals, with misused power, with the silence of a Church that sometimes seems more like a palace than a home. I, too, was angry with God. I, too, saw good people die, children suffer, grandparents cry without medicine. And yes… there were days when I prayed and only felt an echo. But then I discovered something: God doesn't shout. God whispers. And sometimes He whispers from the mud, from pain, from a grandmother who feeds you without having anything. I don't come to offer you perfect faith. I come to tell you that faith is a walk with stones, puddles, and unexpected hugs. I'm not asking you to believe in everything. I'm asking you not to cl...

Saturday, August 2, 2025: Need Emmaus help with a Hunger Strike: (Please share this information and request for good trouble) Here's a copy of the email I sent out to my congregation to boost participation. I've also attached the latest flyer. Please feel free to modify/copy/steal this language however you see fit. At the bottom of the email, I reference this script for contacting your supervisor to show your support for the hunger strike. Hope this is helpful. Peace and justice, Lindsey: Beloved, I will be participating in the upcoming Sonoma County Sanctuary Coalition's hunger strike.  We are striking to push the Board of Supervisors to adopt an ordinance to make Sonoma County a Sanctuary County. As you know, social justice is core to our religious values. As we fast, we are aligning ourselves with the oppressed and calling on our local elected officials to show moral courage and stand against the harmful abuses of Immigration Customs Enforcement. I appreciate your enthus...
