Dear ACC Family,

I’ve missed you all very much this Autumn. There’s almost no other place I’d rather be on a Sunday morning than worshipping with you all. The exception is that I’ve been spending time on Sunday mornings visiting with other congregations in support of the Black Wealth Builders Fund. In recent weeks I’ve spoken at St. Columba Catholic Church, facilitated the Racial Wealth Gap Simulation at both the First Presbyterian Church and First Congregational Church of Palo Alto. I’ve spoken at Skyline Community Church in Oakland, and preached at both Epworth United Methodist Church and McGee Avenue Baptist Church. This coming Sunday I’ll speak briefly at First Congregational Church in Berkeley. My dance card is full.

I am excited about the work that Susan and I have been doing to expand the Black Wealth Builders Fund. It feels meaningful and useful and for those who know me, you can be sure that I haven’t had much time to “get into trouble.”

I hope to be in church on December 8th and 15th before I head to Virginia for Christmas with some of my family. Rest assured, you are also my family and although absent from worship and other events, I do consider myself an “ambassador” for Arlington Community Church. Consider me your own, private, unpaid missionary.

I send you all my love and prayers for a warm Holiday season.

Namaste,

Rev. Barry Cammer
