pastor's note

I shared this poem from Michaela Angemeer (@michaelapoetry on Instagram) in my sermon on Sunday but wanted to share it here as well:

i just want a life that's easy and free.
for me and everyone in my city.
i want grocery prices you don't have to think about.
gas prices that aren't inflated by the murders of people overseas.
i want safety for my neighbors near and far.
clean drinking water.
community spaces and gatherings where money doesn't matter.
laws that protect the environment created by Indigenous stewards of the land.
i want "i have a little more so you can have extra."
and "i'm good at this one thing and you're good at another, so let's trade."
i want us all to be lifted up, to be protected, nourished and fed.
i want a life boat for everyone, not just the one percent.

May we work together to create a world that is easy and free for everyone.

- Pastor Julia

We Need Meals

Are you part of a group that wants to help us feed our hungry neighbors? Consider providing food for lunch on a Tuesday or Thursday or breakfast on a Sunday morning! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we need volunteer groups to bring in lunch for about 120 people and serve it from 10:30am - noon. On Sunday mornings, we ask volunteers to bring breakfast for 50 people and serve at 9am. Sign up on the app or website. Contact Angelica (angelica@galvestoncentralchurch.com) for more details.
