9.19.2023 PBPC Family Bulletin


PBPC Family,

As things come together for our joint worship service at First Pres Berkeley, I wanted to lay out some details to ensure that everyone knows what's going on!

Joint Choir: There will be a joint choir singing during the service. Choir practice will be held on Thursday (9/21) at 7:00pm and then Sunday morning (9/24) at 9:00am. Childcare is not provided at either time.

Parking: There is a parking garage underneath First Pres Berkeley's campus. Entrance to the parking garage is on Channing. If the lot is full, there is a parking garage across the street - entrance also on Channing - and First Pres Berkeley can validate your parking ticket.

Worship: The worship service is at 10:00am and the service will be around 75 minutes.

Post Worship Activities: Following worship, we will have a potluck on First Pres' plaza. There will be lots of people there so if you choose to bring something, be sure to put your name on your dish. At 12:15pm, William Yoo, who is the guest preacher that day, will host an additional conversation for those who want to hear more from him and his work.

If you need a ride on that Sunday, please let me know. I am coordinating rides for that Sunday and want to make sure everyone can join us. If you are willing to drive others, let me know. And if you have any questions, don't be afraid to reach out.


One final note: I will be out of town September 25 - October 5. I will be back in worship on October 8 and will be back in the office on October 9 and will respond to emails then. If you have a pastoral emergency, please contact Amber at office@pbpc.org.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Calvin
