Faith Community

Whom shall I send?

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
- Isaiah 6:8, NRSV

From Eddie McCoven, church staff member:

We give thanks to God and rejoice with our beloved sister, Cyndi Jones, for her ordination and call to ministry.

Cyndi was a part of our faith community for a year as our pastoral intern. She learned a lot from us, and we equally learned a lot from her. 

She will serve the worshiping community of Atonement Lutheran Church here in San Diego, as well as serve the Pacifica Synod for Disability Awareness ministry. 

Our prayers are with her as she lives out her call to ministry in Christ's holy church.

Here's the full video from the ordination:

Music for a cause

From Eddie McCoven, church staff member:

The Transforming Carazones Concert happened Saturday, May 19th. We enjoyed musical offerings by our own Eliazim, as well as from Pastor Nate's new EP.

We also heard music and testimony from rapper F-CER (with assistance from DJ Joker),  who shared with us the move of the Holy Spirit in his life and how he works to reach others with his music.

We also shared some great food as a part of the fundraiser, thanks to Jorge and Elena. 

We raised $1,400 from the event, and it was split evenly between Community Christian Services Agency (CCSA) here in San Diego, and with a Lutheran School in Haiti.

More than 100 people attended the bilingual, multicultural event.
