Re: Family friendly church for a newbie

I urge you to check out the Northbrea Community Church on The Alameda at Solano. We are a small but wonderful congregation, with a growing group of young families. Northbrea calls itself Crysto-centric but universally inclusive. Our services are based on the Christian litergy, but also draw from most of the other religious traditions in the world. Almost every week, I tell a myth or story from one of our world religions as the Children's story time. The children love to hear stories from around the world, and I hear from adults that they like these stories too. Ron Sebring, our minister, also draws from many different world religions for his sermons, which are always thoughtful and thought provoking. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is a lot of room to explore at Northbrea, but there is also a strong spiritual foundation that helps with that exploration. We have a smal but growing group of young families, and our Sunday school classes are taught by paren! ts and grandparents who love kids. Carolyn


Re: Inclusive & Friendly Church (March 2003)
I've also been looking for a very inclusive, not strictly Christian church and recently begun attending Northbrae Community Church on The Alameda near Solano Avenue. It has a wonderful music program and the minister (who's pretty new there) is smart and thought-provoking. There's a children's program, too, but I have no experience with it yet. Sunday service starts at 10:30 am.
