As winter persists, our hearts and minds turn to our unhoused neighbors and friends who experience increased risks during the frigid winter days and nights.
Following the model of our successful 2021 Long Winter's Night Campaign, we are working to complete the 2022-23 campaign with one last order of tents for our unhoused friends.
Truly, a tent can be a life-saving support for someone on the streets.
Please consider a donation (of any amount), and share the link with your family and friends - social media posts are especially helpful.
Help us reach our $2000 goal for 2022-23.

The Contemplative Reading Group has begun our contemplation of Kenneth Boulding's sonnets on James Nayler's last words. We have been deeply affected, both by Nayler's dying testimony and by Boulding's sensitive and deep meditations on the Spirit of conciliation and compassion that was expressed through Nayler's words and understanding. The onnets have been published by Pendle Hill under the title There Is A Spirit. FWCC has also published a bilingual (English and Spanish) copy of Boulding's sonnets available without cost at
https://www.fwccamericas.org/pub/BouldingK2001.pdf
Each Friday, we hope to consider at least two of Boulding's sonnets. We may go faster, if Spirit leads, but we're not rushing. We are letting Spirit move within us and between us and the words. We begin each contemplative session with a reading of the full quote of Nayler's words, to help to ground each sonnet in the whole of Nayler's enlightenment.
ZOOM link sent via list serve every week at noon on Fridays.
Worship Wednesdays: 7-8 p.m.
Temporarily on hold.
2nd & 4th Sundays from 9-10 AM
