We Need Your 2010 Financial Pledge
If you haven't turned in a financial pledge for 2010, please do so as soon as you can. If you would like to review the 2010 Proposed Budget as part of your prayerful considerations, you will find a copy of the budget at the back of the church. Please be in touch with a member of the Bishop's Committee or the vicar if you have any comments or questions regarding the proposed budget.

Next "Second Sunday" Evening Service,
March 14 at 6 p.m.
On each second Sunday of the month, an evening service is held at 6 p.m., here at St. Edmund's.
This second-Sunday evening service is less structured and more reflective than Sunday morning services. It is designed to give people the chance to discuss and explore their spirituality and beliefs.
The service is based on Night Prayer from the New Zealand Book of Common Prayer and includes poetry, conversation and music.
Come and give it a try!

Outreach Funds for Pacifica Resource Center and Al Ahli Arab Hospital
We continue to collect funds to support the Pacifica Resource Center and the Al Ahli Arab Hospital located in Gaza. The Resource Center provides assistance to folks in need of food, funds for housing or other social services. Requests for groceries and rental assistance have risen dramatically over the last several months and show no signs of abating.
Al Ahli Arab Hospital is one of 11 hospitals serving the 1.5 million residents of Gaza. This hospital, a ministry of the Diocese of Jerusalem, continues to care for whoever comes to their door, despite limited fuel, food and medical supplies. Checks should be made out to Pacifica Resource Center or Episcopal Relief and Development, designated to the hospital.
Hospice Volunteers Needed in Pacifica
Mary Lu Murphy attended a meeting recently offered by Mission Hospice talking about the need for volunteers in Pacifica. She has information and would be pleased to tell you about the possibilities. You can email her at marylumurphy06@yahoo.com.
Housing resources in San Mateo County
Do you have an extra room to rent out? HIP Housing, a non-profit organization with 36 years of housing experience, is reaching out to the community to promote its home sharing program.
In tough economic times with rising housing, utility, gas and other expenses, home sharing helps to reduce costs and to save money. Two types of arrangements are facilitated: straight rent exchange and service exchange which involves helping with cooking, cleaning, companionship and other basic services in lieu of or for reduced rent.
All clients are interviewed by experienced staff. They also interview each other and make their own decisions about selecting housemates. Resources on how to interview clients, Living Together Agreements, follow-up support and mediation are also available through this service.
For more information contact: Laura Fanucchi, Director of Programs at (650) 348-6660 x303 or email her at lfanucchi@hiphousing.org.
