This Sunday - July 14th

During July and August, we are taking advantage of our California climate to worship outside at 10am with a shorter and more informal service. Our 8am service continues to be held in the Chapel every week, and we will return to the main church for worship on Labor Day. Remember to dress in layers in case it is cool outside.

For single and single again women over 35. This Friday evening, July 12th, in the library at 6pm. Full details here...

Ray Urwin at York Minster

Ray Urwin will be off to play and sing in England's York Minster this week. York Minster is the second largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe and is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second highest office in the Church of England. Christians have worshiped on the site since the 4th century and probably much earlier, and the minster is built on top of a Roman fort. It has withstood various invasions (including the Vikings), civil wars, fires, etc. Ray will be accompanying for a local choir singing Evensong services in York Minster and Beverley Minster. He has also composed a piece the choir will sing during these services!
