Acting on Hardy Kim's Call to Sunnyvale
|
This Sunday we will hold a congregational meeting following 11:00 a.m. worship.
Session has called this meeting for the purpose of dissolving the pastoral relationship with Hardy Kim, a formal act we must take whenever a pastor leaves our staff. Hardy's last Sunday with us will be this Sunday, as he is preparing to move to Sunnyvale, California, where he has been called to serve as Pastor and Head of Staff at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church.
Please join us for this meeting--and the reception, in Hardy's honor, that will follow.
Time:
Sunday, July 2
12:00 p.m.
Place:
Sanctuary

Partnering with Common Hope
|
This Saturday a group from Fourth Church will depart for Guatemala, where they will spend the next week working alongside and learning from our brothers and sisters in that country. While there, they will have opportunity to partner with Common Hope in
supporting the education of children and empowerment of families in Guatemalan villages.
Please join us in keeping all of them in thought and prayer as together they take part in the worldwide mission and ministry of the church.
