Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir is hosting a historic event, the Golden Gate Festival — Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir from July 9-15, 2023.
Ten choirs from around the world (Lithuania, Estonia, the Philippines, Georgia, Australia, Canada, U.S.) will join to participate in a memorable week of concerts, competitions, special events, and cultural exchange. PEBCC needs help during this time to host adult members of visiting choirs to rehearsals, concerts, and other events. Homestay families provide housing for their guests, transportation to and from all rehearsals and Festival events, meals, and (most especially) a welcoming home atmosphere.
We have an additional way to sign up for bringing Sunday treats! There is a signup sheet on the buffet table each Sunday where you can sign up for Fruits, Veggies, Protein, a Main Dish, or “Other.”
Alternatively, you can reach out to Lisa Radspinner directly at LisaRadspinner@gmail.com or 916-402-0464.
Do you have a church key that you’re no longer actively using? Or a key that’s not working quite as well as it used to? If so, please contact the church administrator (office@lakemerrittumc.org) to turn in your old keys and receive your replacements before we upgrade our locks.
Thank you!
The church council has decided to modify our Covid procedures for Sunday worship. To continue to provide enhanced ventilation we will open the back side double doors during worship instead of opening the divider wall. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tom Huetteman, Joseph Koroma, or Laurel Williams.
The Beatitudes are filled with paradoxes. For example, the kingdom belongs to the poor in spirit, not to those with spiritual bravado. The meek, not those who are easily provoked, will inherit the earth. Following these and other beatitudes, Jesus goes on to say, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy”. (Matthew 5:7) Jesus calls us blessed and happy when we are merciful to others. Come friends, let us reflect on “mercy” this Sunday.
