Church Reopening

Santa Clara county is in the red tier and the Covid restrictions imposed by the county is lifted. There is still a State restriction that only 25% occupancy could gather indoors which is 87 people for our sanctuary. The executive committee met last Saturday and authorized a sub committee to look into the feasibility of reopening the church on Easter Day, April 4. More updates to follow.

Contributions

We celebrated Parish day and One day income offertory last Sunday. We also celebrated Diocesan Sunday and World day of prayer on first Sunday of March. As you all know we have only three major collections in a year apart from voluntary monthly contributions. Please send in your contributions to Trustees by mail or online. Specify the amount for each cause in the memo .

VBS

This year VBS will be held online jointly with other NorCal Parishes from June 18, Friday to June 20, Sunday. The theme is Destination Dig. More details to follow. The volunteer registration form can be found here . Please register.

We have signed up for Amazon smile, which will give a small percentage to our church when someone uses Amazon smile to make any purchases.
