Join us for:

Home Gatherings - meals, games, and warm conversations
Fun Outings - explore the Bay Area together
Bible Studies - all are welcome, you don’t have to be a Christian to join

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🍁🍽 Thankful we got to be part of a community and it’s better together ☺️ #isffamily #thanksgiving #thankful

Instead of our usual Sunday Gathering, join us in spreading love and care 🥰 by visiting our local elderly care home! 🏠 It is a chance to brighten the day of our seniors ☀️, share meaningful conversations 💬, and offer comfort through acts of kindness 😊. Together, we will also share the hope and encouragement found in the Bible, bringing joy and spiritual nourishment to their hearts. Let’s make a difference and show them they are cherished and loved! Lunch will be provided at 12PM at the Loft! #servesunday #ucberkeley #international #elderlyhome
