7.25.2023 PBPC Family Bulletin


PBPC Family,

The following is an announcement from Rory Brown, our Personnel elder. This is a follow up to the announcement she made on Sunday during worship.

Park Blvd started last fall the process of selecting a Permanent Pastor with a congregation meeting focused on defining our values and mission, and then continued this spring with another congregation meeting to determine what we wanted in a Permanent Pastor. Now we are ready to have a discernment process in with Park Blvd and Calvin mutually determine whether Calvin should lead Park Blvd permanently. The process will be a series of 3-5 meetings over the next two months guided by a set of questions and prayers. Presently we are forming a committee to participate in the process. Rory Brown as the Ruling Elder responsible for Personnel is leading this process. She can be reached at 510.205.4921 or roryebrown@gmail.com

As we begin this process, we invite you to pray for all who will be involved and for Park Boulevard Presbyterian Church.

One final note: I will be out of town July 31- August 3. I will respond to emails on August 6 when I am back in the office. If you have a pastoral emergency, please contact Amber at office@pbpc.org.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Calvin
