Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) merupakan sektor penting dalam perekonomian Kabupaten Sidoarjo dengan jumlah mencapai 171.264 unit usaha pada tahun 2023. Sebagian besar pelaku UMKM masih menghadapi kendala berupa keterbatasan akses pembiayaan formal, rendahnya literasi keuangan, serta minimnya pendampingan usaha. Pemerintah Kabupaten Sidoarjo menginisiasi Program KURDA SAYANG melalui Peraturan Bupati Nomor 8 Tahun 2025 yang dilaksanakan bersama BPR Delta Artha. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis implementasi Program KURDA SAYANG menggunakan teori implementasi kebijakan Charles O. Jones yang meliputi aspek organisasi, interpretasi, dan aplikasi. Metode kualitatif deskriptif digunakan dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aspek organisasi didukung struktur kelembagaan yang cukup jelas, meskipun koordinasi dan sinkronisasi data UMKM belum optimal. Dari aspek interpretasi, regulasi program berkembang dari Perbup No. 95/2020, No. 52/2023, hingga No. 8/2025, namun masih terdapat perbedaan pemahaman kriteria penerima dan sosialisasi yang belum merata. Pada aspek aplikasi, program memberikan dampak positif terhadap kapasitas usaha, perluasan pasar, dan pertumbuhan omzet UMKM, dengan kendala kredit macet, minimnya pendampingan pascapencairan, dan monitoring berbasis dampak yang belum optimal.

Divorce is an increasing social reality within Christian congregations, including in Indonesia, bringing profound psychological, social, and spiritual impacts while simultaneously presenting serious challenges for the church's pastoral ministry. This article examines the theological foundation and practical approaches in pastoral accompaniment for congregation members experiencing divorce, employing library research methodology within a pastoral theology framework. The study reveals that the church is called to be present not as a judge, but as a healing, supportive, and restoring community. Effective pastoral accompaniment encompasses empathetic pastoral counseling, a compassionate congregational community, intentional attention to affected children, and a long-term restoration commitment rooted in Gospel grace. The church is called to move beyond stigmatization toward genuine acceptance of wounded individuals, reflecting the redemptive love of Christ. This article concludes that the church's response to divorce must balance biblical integrity with deep compassion, affirming both the sanctity of marriage and the dignity of broken individuals. Thus, the church can become a safe space for every congregation member to experience genuine restoration and rediscover hope in Christ.

Pregnancy complications remain a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Pregnant women's limited knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and suboptimal participation in antenatal care (ANC) services can increase the risk of delayed detection and management of pregnancy complications. The Kinovaro Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Sigi Regency is one of the areas requiring maternal health information and activities that can increase pregnant women's participation in health education activities.

The activity involved eight pregnant women in their second and third trimesters. The methods used included health education, interactive discussions, simple pregnancy check-ups, pregnancy exercise demonstrations, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests. The results showed that all participants actively participated in the activity and had a good level of knowledge after participating. The average knowledge score increased from 77.5 to 80.0, an increase of 3.2%. In addition, participants were able to identify pregnancy danger signs, understand the importance of standard ANC visits, and practice pregnancy exercise movements independently. This activity demonstrates that mentoring through the Pregnant Women's Class can strengthen maternal health literacy, increase pregnant women's preparedness in recognizing pregnancy complications, and support the strengthening of maternal health services at the community level.

Artikel ini bertolak dari kenyataan bahwa banyak umat telah mendengar sabda Allah dalam Liturgi dan pengajaran Gereja, namun belum sepenuhnya menghidupinya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Situasi ini menegaskan pentingnya katekese sebagai proses pembinaan iman yang berkelanjutan, yang tidak hanya menekankan aspek pengetahuan, tetapi juga penghayatan dan perwujutan iman dalam tindakan nyata. Tulisan ini bertujuan merefleksikan katekese sebagai jalan pembinaan iman umat yang menuntun dari sabda menuju kehidupan. Fokus kajian artikel ini adalah peran katekese dalam membantu umat dewasa mengintegrasikan sabda Allah kedalam realitas hidup sehari-hari, baik dalam keluarga, pekerjaan, maupun kehidupan sosial. Metode yang digunakan adalah refleksi teologis pastoral dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi literatur gereja dan pengalaman hidup umat. Pendekatan ini menekankan ketertarikan antara pewartaan sabda, pendampingan iman, serta partisiasi aktif umat dalam proses pembinaan. Hasil refleksi menunjukkan bahwa katekese yang kontekstual, dialogis, dan berpusat pada sabda Allah, mampu menumbuhkan iman yang lebih dewasa, sadar, dan tanggung jawab. Melalui katekese, umat tidak hanya memahami ajran iman secara intelektual, tetapi juga didorong untuk menghidupinya dalam sikap kasih, pelayanan, dan kesaksian di tengah masyarakat. Pembinaan iman yang berkelanjutan menjadi sarana penting untuk membentuk umat yang tangguh dalam menghadapi tantangan zaman dan tetap berakar pada nilai-nilai injil. Dengan demikian, katekese sebagai jalan pembinaan iman memiliki peran strategis dalam menjembatani sabda Allah dengan kehidupan konkrit umat. Pembaharuan metode dan pendekatan katekese yang relevan dengan konteks umat masa kini sangat diperlukan agar proses dari sabda menuju kehidupan dapat berlangsung secara nyata, mendalam, dan berkelanjutan dalam kehidupan Gereja. Kata kunci: katekese, sabda Allah, pembinaan iman, umat dewasa, kehidupan kristen

Vegetable stall businesses represent a common form of micro-enterprise that meets consumers' daily needs, including in the Depok District. However, most business owners have yet to adopt proper and adequate financial record-keeping practices, relying instead on manual methods. This makes it difficult to control and evaluate business financial management. This community engagement initiative aimed to provide guidance on digitizing accounting records for vegetable stall MSMEs using the BukuWarung application and to enhance the digital financial literacy of business owners regarding digital financial management. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving observation, interviews, documentation, and direct assistance provided to vegetable stall owners in the Depok District. Observations revealed that business owners gained a better understanding of and improved skills in using the BukuWarung application, becoming capable of independently recording income, expenses, and business receivables and payables. The initiative demonstrated that implementing a guidance program for digitizing accounting records via the BukuWarung application significantly contributed to improving the financial management capabilities of vegetable-trading MSMEs. These findings suggest the potential for applying similar guidance models to MSMEs in other regions to foster broader digital financial literacy.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in the culinary sector face multiple competitive pressures encompassing product legality, consumer trust, and the effectiveness of value communication. This Community Service activity was conducted at Warung Sambal Cidero, a culinary MSME in Kediri City, from March 28, 2026, to April 25, 2026, using a Participatory Action Research approach with four cycles: planning, action, observation, and reflection.
