In 2001, a Pacific Coast Regional Assembly was held June 29-July 1 at San Francisco State University, in preparation for the second Global People's Assembly to be held in India in 2002. Everyone is welcome. Evensong Evensong groups are offered throughout the year. Each series is 8 weeks with groups of 8-12 participants. Each week an order of service is followed and the central event is a sharing time.
Participants listen attentively to one another's thoughts, experiences, doubts, and beliefs.
Evensong is a great way to get to know a group of people. New groups are publicized in the Sunday orders of service and the Beacon on the Hill newsletter. Our church prepares and serves the meal about twice each year. GRIP offers chaplaincy services to homeless persons in Richmond, serves a daily noon meal on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Richmond Souper Center, and works to support nonviolent actions in the area. Our winter shelter program is currently based at Faith Tabernacle, 35th Street at Macdonald Ave in Richmond.
