“Community: Removing Earthly Divisions for God’s Dream” – June 20, 2021

Dear SDUMC Family,

Greetings from the California Pacific Annual Conference 2021, of course, virtually this year. We've gathered as the SDUMC delegation in the Youth Room to watch and dialogue together. It's always a blessing to hear from friends throughout our Annual Conference that spans Southern California, Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan (even in a virtual way).

We'll share more about Annual Conference in the weeks to come. I am grateful for our SDUMC delegation and their work through this year (Cheryl Allen, Dana Black, Alex Bridges, Lynne McKiernan, Steve Usher, and Rev. Chelsea). Rev. Faith will be preaching for the retirement service at Annual Conference, and I'm sure it will be a wonderful message. You can find it at the following link http://www.calpacumc.org/ac2021/.

As we gather together on Father's Day this Sunday, I look forward to sharing in worship as we continue our series on Community (we'll have a special token for all men in the church family)! I hope you have a blessed Father's Day and Juneteenth weekend, and I look forward to being with you on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary and Livestream or 10:45 a.m. for Outdoor Worship!

Grace, Peace and Thanks, John
