2020 Interfaith National Day of Prayer

PB UMC & St. Mark’s UMC have collaborated with the Islamic Center of San Diego and B’Nai Tikvah Temple to bring an Interfaith National Day of Prayer Service to all people.  These prayers reflect a portion of the diversity of our Nation as we share sacred words, offer light, and share this life with one another.

In the Beginning

This Sunday, we launch into a new sermon series. Our current reality of social isolation in the midst of a pandemic is not the only example of widescale stress and anxiety on the human species.

We are seeking sustenance and refreshment. We are seeking God’s renewing and forgiving Spirit. We are in need of revival!

Revive Us

On Easter Sunday people all over the world celebrated in ways previously unimagined. There was a rise in telecasting while church pews remain empty. Only Jesus could bring forth life, life in abundance, from what some people say is a time of complete devastation.
