Join us for lunch and a discussion of The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History (Berkeley: Ten Speed, 2021), by David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson. It traces the Panthers from their pre-history and founding in 1966 in Oakland, to their citizen patrols against police brutality, to their groundbreaking social, educational, and healthcare programs, to their national and international expansion, to their ferocious clashes with the FBI, and then to their decline and dissolution. Published in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement, this portrayal focuses on key figures in the Panther movement, who continue to inspire both activism and debate.

Are you exploring Christianity but have nagging questions? Are you a long-time Christian but have the same?

Families, join us across the street from the church at 1714 Franklin St. to make advent wreaths together as we kick off the Advent season. We will have Christmas cookies, hot cocoa, and giveaways too!  $10 registration fee per family will cover the cost of the supplies.  Space is limited to 35 families.  Register here (please register just one person per family).

What is an advent wreath?
An Advent wreath provides a way to mark the four weeks of Advent leading up to the birth of Jesus.  It is made up of four candles.  One candle is lit each Sunday in Advent, which begins on December 3rd this year.  The wreath shows the Bible's theme of light penetrating the darkness, a wonderful picture of the gospel.

Moms, join us at Tomo Tea House in Alameda.  This is a great opportunity to meet other moms with little ones at ResOak.  Tomo Tea House has a great soft play area for little ones - in addition to yummy tea and donuts!

This fall, we will be using the “When You Pray” study by Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards, and Kristi McLellend. Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
