Erin and I took a team of students (pictured) from Sonoma State and UC Davis and spent a week, 6/13-19 learning and serving in Sacramento. We learned about the topics of poverty, homelessness, racism and God's love. We served by doing food distribution, community gardening, at a women's shelter and more. It was an intense week and all 5 of the SSU had their world rocked! Here is what one had to say...
Megan (pictured bottom middle): "I really enjoyed being a part of this experience because it is something that can be related to my daily life. My eyes were opened so many times to the injustices that are present in my own back yard! Learning about the Lord's vision for Shalom [The Hebrew word and idea of peace, harmony and reconciliation] -- how things ought to be has inspired me to be more active in my community. Through hearing other people's stories, I am sure that with God's hand in everything...we can eventually live in a world of Shalom."
