On Saturday, December 15th, join in the spirit of the season with the Active Seniors as we come together for their annual Christmas Party. ALL Welcome!
Start at 5:30pm with appetizers, then move to the Fireside Room for a delicious meal – and sing some favorite Christmas carols.
If you can, please bring a gift of a neck scarf and/or gloves for an adult woman (unwrapped but tied with a ribbon). These gifts will be delivered to the San Jose Homeless Shelter in time for Christmas.
This is always a fun and wonderful part of the Christmas season. Mark your calendars! Look for the signup table during Fellowship Hour on Sunday. You may also call Bob Renfer (408-248-8756) with any questions.

Tour Julia Morgan’s “Little Castle”
Join the Fifty-Plus group as they tour the Berkeley City Club which was designed by Julia Morgan. The tour takes place Tuesday, February 27th. Julia Morgan was the first female architect to be licensed in the state of California, and designed numerous buildings including Hearst Castle. She was also a civil engineer whose knowledge of concrete-reinforced buildings was ahead of her time, and helped her buildings withstand earthquake stresses.
The “Little Castle” is designed in Romanesque and Gothic style architecture and was originally the Berkeley Women’s Club. Morgan’s engineering skills were matched by her attention to detail in furnishings, light fixtures, and other elements. The cost for the tour is $10, and each person will pay for lunch, available in the Berkeley City Club. Meet in the church parking lot to carpool at 10am. Sign up after worship on February 25th. For more information, phone Carol Griffith (contact office for info).
