As we come into this new season in the Los Rios District, we write with deep gratitude and an effervescent sense of anticipation for the ministry that we will share together. We begin by expressing our deep appreciation for the faithful leadership of Rev. David Niu who served as District Superintendent over the past three years.

Tanisha Walton, coordinator of the Pacific School of Religion's (PSR) Congregational Renewal Cohort (CRC) will present the program and answer questions for anyone who would like to participate in the CRC cohort for the academic year 2026-2027.

As most of you are aware, we recently participated in the new Congregational Renewal Cohort program at Pacific School of Religion. PSR launched a new program last summer: the Congregational Renewal Cohort. Epworth was invited to send a small team to join groups from other religious communities for a year of study, reflection, and projects as we grew as spiritual leaders and shepherds of congregational renewal work in our churches and temples. Our classes started in September

We will hear from Bob Britton and Meg Bowerman about the Interfaith Coalition for Justice In our Jails (ICJJ) and how we can support their work.
