Announcements for 30 April

Hi Everyone,

We welcome to our pulpit this and next Sunday Mr. Nathaniel Vroom.  Mr. Vroom is a candidate for the position of associate pastor, and he is accompanied by his wife, Emma, and their daughter, Ada.

See the note below to reserve box lunches for the upcoming church picnic, next Saturday, May 6 in Fairwood Park, Sunnyvale.  Please reserve your box lunches by Wednesday at the latest.

Jonathan Bartlett’s ordination and installation service occurred Friday night.  It was an encouraging time for the Hughson congregation and for the Presbytery.

Sincerely,
Elder Lemen

  • For the campsite check-in is at 3pm on 6/9 and checkout is 1pm on 6/10

Campers will probably go on a short hike Saturday morning.

After camping, we are planning to transition to the Ohlone Group Area for a picnic starting around 11am. Everyone from the church is invited to attend whether you were part of the camping or not.

  • There is a $6 entrance fee to the park
