Campus minister Morgan Stafford has committed himself to live an anti-racist faith and life. “As a white man, I have learned that I’ve benefitted from racism, while people of color have been harmed. I believe that white Christians must take the lead to confront and dismantle racism. It’s our job.”

To focus and make tangible his beliefs, Morgan spent the month of June doing at least one thing every day to listen to, learn from, do, and become more anti-racist, reporting his progress via social media. We at GCORR liked the idea and reached out to Morgan to share his story, what he accomplished, and how it’s changed and enhanced his spiritual growth and his work with young people.

As a result, GCORR invites white allies (and others) to spend the month of September doing #30DaysAntiRacism.

We invite you to post photos of your activities using #30DaysAntiRacism and encourage your friends, members of your congregation, Sunday school class, pastors, and community partners to join this in this.

For more than 80 years the Nevada County Fair has welcomed thousands of people for classic Nevada County family fun.  For close to 50 of those years, we have fed kids and their families tasty bratwursts (“brats”) with or without our yummy sauerkraut.  Many say it just wouldn’t be right to go to the Fairgrounds without a visit to Treat Street and have one or two (sometimes more) of our well-known brats. 

Our church is one of the oldest vendors on Treat Street!  Each year our crew of dedicated volunteers prepares, cooks and sells about 3,500 brats.  We greatly miss seeing each other as we of work together in the Brat Booth and seeing the faces of people young and old who enjoy our Brats!

Sale of these brats feeds hungry families and supports many local and global causes.  Funds generated from sales at the Brat Booth provide our worship ministries, pastoral services, and a range of community outreach programs. Volunteers staff the Brat Booth and the net proceeds help build the floor on which all our ministries stand.  Loss of the Brat Booth sales and potential loss of funds generated by our Holiday Craft Faire leave a big hole in the resources that undergird our work. 

Late Note: We anticipate that there WILL be a Holiday Craft Faire this year.  If the building can be opened to the public, great!  If not, the Craft Faire Committee is already at work with other arrangements.  Stay tuned
