Potluck TGIF
This Friday July 8, 5-7 PM
Home of Michele & Denis Pomroy, in Soquel
**Our home is approximately 2.5 miles from the freeway exit. I will leave a balloon, flag or some indicator attached to the street sign.
----------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS
Take Highway
1, exiting at Porter St/Bay St and continue up Porter Street toward the mountains. (road name changes to San Jose - Soquel Road.)
continue on San Jose Soquel Road, looking to the left you'll see a large campground: Seventh Day Adventist....begin to slow down, as Los Robles Road is located at the end of the campground.
Turn left onto our private single lane road.
Once on Los Robles Road, you'll continue driving through the two red brick columns and at the next bend in the road, you'll drive up the driveway on the right (#344 & #348) that is shared with our neighbors.
Again, I'll have an indicator of some sort directing you up our driveway. If you miss our driveway, it can be tricky to turn around.

The Minister's Summer
Rev. Russ is on vacation/study leave for July and half of August. Vacation is just like it sounds-I'll be gone for some of this time. "Study leave" is the time given to me, according to my contract, to prepare for the next church year. While I am not preaching during this time, I am available for pastoral care. The best way to reach me over the summer is my cell phone: 510-418-9891 and I text as well. I also will be reading emails (
[email protected]).
See you soon.............Russ
