Rev. Richards is the Program Associate for the Global Sharing of Resources Team of the United Church of Christ. In this capacity, she works to promote the One Great Hour of Sharing offering. During pour OGHS fund-raising drive last year, the church youth youth wrote to Rev. Richards asking to learn more about how the church is responding to the worldwide refugee crisis. She visited San Rafael specifically in response to this request from our youth. In addition to this sermon, she lead an afternoon study session on refugees specifically for our youth. (Scripture: Ruth 1: 1-19 & John 15: 9-17)
