Announcements for 23 April
Hi Everyone,
During the adult Sunday school class this week Pastor Goligher will discuss some ways we should prepare for the visit of Nathaniel Vroom as he candidates to be our associate pastor.
Repeating an earlier email: Jonathan's ordination service will be on Friday, April 28th. Plan to arrive by 5:30PM for appetizers served at the church. The meeting will begin at 6:45PM. The address of Sovereign Grace Community Church OPC is 7201 Hughson Avenue, Hughson, CA 95326. Parking is available on 5th Street which is on the west side of the church. The Hughson Fruit and Nut Festival will be setting up, so you may need to bypass Main Street to access parking on 5th Street.
See the note below to reserve a box lunch for the upcoming church picnic on Saturday, May 6.
Sincerely,
Elder Lemen
