SPC CHOIR PRESENTS CHRISTMAS VESPERS XII: THE WAITING SKY
Sunday Dec. 2, 5:00 pm
In December 2007 the SPC Choir introduced a new Christmas tradition,
Christmas Vespers. Built around superb chants, carols and anthems and equally superior Christmas poetry, the annual event has flourished every year since.
On December 2 the choir will present the twelfth edition. Each Vespers includes
newly published works as well as scores by prominent Bay Area composers.
Several of this year’s offerings have just recently been published.
Each year an outstanding instrumentalist joins of us.
This year we feature flautist Rhonda Bradetich.

News: a few highlights from SPINN
FALLEN FROM THE TREE OF LIFE IN PITTSBURGH
Pastor Paul writes about the event itself and the awesome gathering one day later, in Tiburon’s Kol Shofar

And in that synagogue, I was not alone . . .” Read more…
PAUL SPOKE ABOUT ROOTS ON Sunday, Nov. 11
He visited ROOTS in the West Bank last fall. It was one of the highlights of his entire trip! And at Kol Shofar he listened to Shadi Abu Awwad, the Roots Palesnian youth director, and Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger, one of the founders of Roots, who shared their personal, interconnected stories and presented the groundbreaking and challenging grassroots work of ROOTS.

When I first came, I was struck by the deep caring evident in the SPC community, the warm and friendly atmosphere, and the congregation’s openness to, and interest in, religious traditions other than their own. I invite you to look around and get a feel for our church. We welcome any comments or questions that might be on your mind. If you’re not currently a member of our church, or if you aren’t a “church person,” we invite you to drop in to a Sunday service or to other musical or spiritual event. You might be surprised. And of course feel free to reach out and call or e-mail me or other church staff. Contact
We hope you and your family will have a warm and spirit-filled experience with us as we worship together, share fellowship at our services and events, and serve each other and the community through our ministries.
Many blessings to you,
Pastor Paul Mowry
