Cum creştinii catolici şi protestanţi sărbătoresc azi Paştile, Biserica Mission Bay a utilizat chipul lui Isus în versiunea Mii ca să anunţe Paştile. În imaginea de mai jos, versiunea stilizată a lui Cristos este prezentată alături de un iepuraş (alt simbol pascal). Acum, e bine de ştiut că Biserica Mission Bay încearcă să-şi adune oile pierdute prin sisteme alternative de propagare a credinţei, cum sunt organizarea de concerte sau oferirea de cafele ca să încurajeze vizitatorii. Dacă plasează şi câteva Wii în preajma altarelor din lăcaşurile lor de cult, promit că o să le păşesc smerit pragul!

Would you like to speak to middle school students about your career? MBCC participant Kristin Tatum works at AACE Talent Search, a nonprofit that offers tutoring, informational presentations, and educational field trips to encourage low-income students to attend college. We are organizing Career Days at four local middle schools and looking for people who are interested in introducing 11- through 13- year olds to different professions and helping students connect their studies to possible future careers. There will be a Career Day at Roosevelt Middle School in the Richmond District on February 20, Fernando Rivera School in Daly City on March 6th, Francisco Middle School in North Beach on March 12, and Denman Middle School in the Excelsior on March 19 . Each Career Day is from about 9 to 11 am and each speaker would speak to two classes of students for about 20 minutes each. If you are interested in speaking at one of these events or have any questions, please contact Kristin Tatum at

Altared Bodies Friday April 4, 7-9 pm Four Interplay artists: Reena Burton, Kelly Williams, Abby King-Kaiser and Amy Shoemaker, celebrate the beauty of the body as they create altars out of real, live, breathing, dancing bodies as a part of the Oakland Art Murmur. For one night Interplayce will become a temple for worshiping the sacredness of all bodies. Join us as we play with themes of honor and homage, sacred and secular, redefining the purpose of the body and the image of the altar.
Art Show Outing Saturday, April 5th at noon Lisa and Abby like to go look and art and want you to join them! We will be seeing Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life at the Legion of Honor on Saturday, April 5th at noon. We will meet outside the museum, on the steps before you go in to purchase a ticket.

AIDS Walk San Francisco Online registration is open!
Sunday, July 20, 2008, Golden Gate Park
Our multi-church Presbyterian team at AIDS Walk San Francisco will be walking again this year! Watch this space for an announcement about online registration. We'll want to qualify for a team table, so that people can still find us amongst the crowd of 25,000, even if they can't come by the park until after worship. As in past years, we'll have a BBQ at our team table after the walk.
All ages may register, and we've even had pets walk and get sponsors in past years. The event has been made kid-friendly with the addition of Kids Zone, a special area with bounce houses, face painters, and free carousel rides.
The event takes place in Golden Gate Park. The route is 10 km long (approx. 6 mi). While it is a fundraiser, there's no minimum fundraising requirement, and registration is free. Go to aidswalksanfrancisco2008.kintera.org/presbyterian and sign up online (one name per registration, so a family of three does 3 registrations, for example)!
The proceeds benefit approximately 40 Bay Area-based AIDS service organizations. For those unable to walk the 10 km, our team also includes members to help start the BBQ and watch our team table while the rest of us walk, so mark your calendars to be there on 7/20/08! Email
