Book Club: "Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer"

  • Resurrection Oakland Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In the early 2000’s, a daughter of hippie homesteaders moved into Oakland’s Ghost Town neighborhood (one mile from ResOak, at 28th Ave. x MLK). She squatted an apartment and set herself to turning a vacant lot into a self-sustaining urban farm. Along the way she made friends and enemies among her neighbors, gained hard-earned lessons about land and livestock, and found care and community in beautiful, unexpected ways. What might we learn about caring for others and ourselves along these same streets? “Easily the funniest, weirdest, most perversely provocative gardening book I've ever read. I couldn't put it down . . . The writing soars.” —The New York Times Book Review.

Everyone welcome. For more information email Russell Yee.

Discipleship Class: Faith & Work

Discipleship Class: Faith & Work

Do you ever feel like you lack purpose in your work? Do you wonder if society’s vision for work is inadequate? Do you struggle to connect your faith in Jesus with your daily responsibilities in your workplace? 

This 8-week discipleship class is designed to help you see that the gospel of Jesus Christ provides a beautiful and compelling vision and mission for your work. To be clear, this class is NOT about working for a church. It is not about evangelism in the workplace. It is about how the gospel changes everything, including how and why you work, whatever your work might be.

In this class, you will receive robust Biblical teaching from Pastor Dave, practice spiritual disciplines, complete individual and group assignments, and meet weekly with a small group. It will meet from 5-7pm on Sundays, 9/21 through 11/9.

The first session of this class is being held on the 3rd floor of the Wakefield.

The immigration station on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay opened on January 21, 1910 to process immigrants arriving from Asia.

Learn more here.

Celebrate Asian American Heritage Month with us as we learn about the history of Asian immigration to the United States and think about what it means to be a church that loves immigrants. Space is limited to 30 participants.
