Announcements for 28 May
Hi Everyone,
Pastor Goligher’s family is attending the presbytery’s Groveland Conference this weekend. Pastor Goligher is this year’s speaker.
Session has called for a special meeting of the congregation on Wednesday, 7 June 2023 at 7 pm for the purpose of extending a call to Nathaniel Vroom to serve as associate pastor.
Youth – see the note below about your next gathering on 23 June 2023.
And please pay careful attention to where you park when you come to church. The Sunnyvale parking monitors are known to issue expensive tickets for minor infractions, as one of our members recently discovered.
Sincerely,
Elder Lemen
