John Smith Amy and I are looking for a full time nanny in January. We have been
nanny sharing with another co-worker of mine at Breakthrough, Yolanda
Fields, for the last 4 years and we'd like to keep that arrangement
going. So we are looking for a nanny to watch our youngest son, Connor,
who will be 16 months, and Yolanda's youngest... daughter, Autumn, who
will be 20 months. Our nanny would also watch Aiden, who's 4 1/2, after
he's done with pre-school around 3 p.m.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be a fit for the job, please let me know. You can shoot me message, or reply to my email to the google group.

I can't stop thinking about what Charlie said last night. I know there are bigger issues in our communities than our skin tone or our Spanish, I know that! I have already reached out to Charlie. I want a chance to discuss this point in greater detail. It bothers me because we were not discussing what or how we contribute to our communities. The ... See Morediscussion was about our struggles with ourselves and with our own people. (Don’t mean to sound aggressive, I just can’t get it out of my head)
I don't want anyone to misunderstand, I am very proud of being Mexican! My father was never undocumented, lucky for him, his father (my abuelo) and the entire family was sponsored by a farm owner in California that helped them get everything they needed to come to the U.S. legally. Gracias a Dios!
My mother did struggle but when she married my father (30+yrs ago), he helped her with her residential status.
I’m so grateful for my Spanish! BUT, the constant translation can be exhausting. As bad as it sounds, it's true.
I'm rambling, sorry. I look forward to speaking with you all! Abrazos.

Thanks for sharing, Yesenia! These are complicated issues and it's great that the conversation doesn't have to stop with Latin Heritage Month!

The latest statistics reveal that 14 million children in America are living in poverty. What would Jesus do? His call is clear.
River City Community Church

River City Community Church The U.S. Census Bureau released data showing that in 2008, the number of children living in poverty has increased by 750,000 to 14.1 million. This is the biggest increase in child poverty since 1992. As the church we must be the extension of the the work of Jesus in this world. http://www.childrensdefense.org/news-med...ia/cdf-press-releases/2009/20090910-census-bureau-statistics-uninsured-poverty.html

Judson Murchie This past Sunday we had a picnic/BBQ at Humboldt Park just after church. In the spirit of the retreat and just wanting to get to know everyone better and grow community, we thought it would be fun to head to the park for lunch, games, etc. Nothing really planned, just hanging out with community in the community. We end...ed up with more than 40 adults and kids over the course of the afternoon, many of whom didn't know each other prior to Sunday. Because of the great time we all had, we decided to take advantage of what little left we may have of summer and do it again.

Biz and I will bring some softball stuff, bags tables, frisbee, etc, and if you have anything you'd like to bring, please do! If you have kids, please bring them! There is tons for them to do and the swimming pond is open so they can play on a sandy beach and swim at the park.

As for food, Biz and I will bring some basics for the grill - hot dog and burgers - and probably some condiments. We'll also grab a cooler or two.

Judson Murchie Hang out at Humboldt Park this Sunday after church!

As for food, some hot dogs, burgers and condiments will be there, but it probably won't be able to feed everyone and most will want more than just hot dogs and burgers. If you come, please bring a little something to be shared by the group (ie chips, beverages, a cooler with ice, etc.) in addition to anything you bring for yourself. If you have any questions, contact Jud Murchie.

See you Sunday!
