San Leandro Community Church Will close as a worshipping community on March 24, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Leandro Community Church
Will close as a worshipping community on March 24, 2012

 

Regretfully, the members of the San Leandro Community Church have decided to close as a worshipping community.  We feel that at this point in the life cycle of the congregation, it is time to close.  After numerous discussions, our membership has determined that we can best honor our legacy of faithful ministry by dispersing our resources, including ourselves, into new arenas of ministry.

San Leandro Community Church is dually aligned with American Baptist Churches, USA and United Church of Christ. In 1992 it succeeded the Bancroft Avenue Baptist Church, which was founded in 1944.  Over these 68 years, through our many, varied ministries, innumerable people from inside and outside the congregation have discovered the wonders of God’s love, grown in faith and received much spiritual and physical nourishment.

For the time being, our church building will continue to host our ministry partners:  Building Futures for Women and Children, Children’s Montessori Adventure, Friendship House Association of American Indians, Inc. of San Francisco’s youth program, Hahn Saeng Myung Korean Methodist Church of the East Bay, Healthy at Every Size Think Tank, Heart to Heart, International Christian Worship Center, and Lavender Seniors of the East Bay.

We will celebrate our ministries and legacy with a special worship service and reception, on March 24, 2012 at 2 PM.  We invite all our friends from the past and present to join us – please rsvp by contacting our office:

Be a part of the SLCC Backpack Project!

Homelessness and lack of money for basic essentials are not experiences we like to think of for anyone in our community.  So when the members and friends of San Leandro Community Church discovered that these situations affect the lives of children in our neighborhood, we knew it was time to act.  Imagine entering middle school without the supplies you need just to do homework. Backpacks and School Supplies are needed for displaced and low-income students at Bancroft Middle School. We invite you to join with others in our community in making a positive impact in the lives of many middle school students and their families during the upcoming school year. 

How Can I Help?

There are three main ways we can work together to provide a good start to the school year that every student deserves:

• The backpack and supplies will cost about $20 per student. The list of required supplies can be found at http://www.bancroft-broncos.com/students/school_supplies.htm  All donations are gratefully accepted.
• COME to a Backpack Packing Party on Saturday, August 13^th at 5:00pm.  We will stuff backpacks, enjoy finger foods, raffle some fun prizes and generally have a great evening! Everyone is welcome.
• Spread the word! Twitter, Facebook, Telephone, Tell-A-Friend!  Even if you don’t have the time or money to participate otherwise, your word-of-mouth will really help make a difference.

The Backpack Playgroup looks forward to working with you to ensure that every child who attends Bancroft Middle School is given a chance to thrive. To make a monetary donation, send a check, payable to San Leandro Community Church, note “Backpacks”, to 1395 Bancroft Avenue, San Leandro, California 94577. Please contact our church office with any questions or if you would like to donate something for the raffle.  You can also check back here for updates.

Thank you for considering joining us in this opportunity of helping Bancroft Middle School students and their families.

Sincerely,

The Friends and Members of San Leandro Community Church

1395 Bancroft Ave. *  San Leandro CA 94577 * 510-483-1811
