Announcements for the Week of Sunday, February 1, 2026
Sunday Afternoon! Celebration of Abraham Woodland Mosque and Islamic Center
Celebration of Abraham is Sunday, February 1 at 3pm at the Woodland Mosque and Islamic Center, 613 East Street in Woodland. Celebration of Abraham aims to foster learning and understanding among faiths. The theme is “Returning to Abraham: Reflections in Courage.” Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faith leaders will speak. A free-will offering goes to Joshua’s House, a hospice home for the unhoused in Sacramento. Registration is requested, although the event is free. More information and registration HERE.
Music Notes for 10am Service on Sunday
Our choir anthem on February 1 is by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852–1924), an Irish-born composer, conductor, and teacher whose church music helped shape the Anglican choral tradition. Stanford’s serene anthem “Beati quorum via” sets verses from Psalm 119, proclaiming the blessedness of those who walk in God’s way. Find the complete music notes on our website HERE.
