Renewing Jason Hubbard's contract
For the last year, we have been working with church development coach Rev. Jason Hubbard. Our contract with him ended in December 2019. The church council has voted to renew our contract with him for 2020, pending feedback from the congregation. Please read Jason's proposal , and give us feedback via email or by speaking to moderator John Latham.
Gospel choir at Calvary Presbyterian
Rev. Victor Floyd invites us to a concert this Sun, Jan 26 at 5 pm at Calvary Presbyterian church in San Francisco. He says: " I’m writing with my highest recommendation for you to witness the ministry of the Northern California Mass Gospel Choir. Every time I have heard them, my heart opens and the Holy Spirit lifts me up. You will be amazed and moved to a deeper sense of the realness of God. I urge you to bring a pew-full. Please invite your friends, congregations—and it wouldn’t hurt your enemies. (They just  might be improved  by hearing this music!)"
Book club at Belmont UCC church
The Congregational Church of Belmont invites our members to their book group on Tue, Jan 28 at 7 pm. The book is “The Line Becomes a River” by Francisco Cantú. It follows the story of a border patrol agent on the U.S.-Mexico border, and explores the human cost and violence on both sides of the line. The author is plagued by a growing uneasiness with what he comes to view as a dehumanizing enterprise, and abandons the patrol for civilian life, but finds it difficult to dismiss the border from his life.
