Singing Resistance THIS SATURDAY!
Join us THIS Saturday, Nov. 7, 2:30–4 p.m. at the church. We’ll sing pre-selected songs, and have time to sing whatever you want. More details in a previous week’s issue! Contact Deb with questions. Someone take a picture, please, and send it to me. :)
Fetching a Tree!
Sunday, November 29, is the first week of Advent, and the week we will go to Half Moon Bay to fetch our Christmas tree. We will also go to lunch, and go to the beach, because we’re just extra fun like that! (I am going to try to bring Junia, so this picture is not false advertising!) See the event details.
Board Meeting
You won’t be bored! Sunday, November 8, after worship. Board meetings are open. At this one, the land team will provide an update on its activities and make a recommendation to the board regarding next steps.
Don’t take Santa Clara.
This Sunday, Viva Calle will have this route blocked off for their bike route (Nov. 8, 10 a.m.–3 p.m.). Seek an alternate route!
Out of town, celebrating Daddy Jack
I’m heading out early-early Friday morning to attend my Daddy Jack’s funeral, before the Disciples Preaching Retreat next week. This is Jack with his wife Paula and me as a newborn.
Drive me?
Thank you so much for offering rides to the church from the Berryessa BART station. Kind souls who have car, will travel, please sign up to drive me!
And remind me to get a pic, else we’ll be using this same one forever! (Applies to everything in this newsletter… if I don’t get pics with y’all, it’ll look like this church is just me and my fam!)
Meet with me!
I’ve been so glad to meet with a few of you, and I want to get to know more of you, all of you, or as many as possible, in these first few weeks of my time here. Sign up, and let’s hang out. (If none of the listed times work, just send me an email. We’ll work it out.)
