Plenty of games will be provided. Feel free to bring your favorites along with family, friends, and snacks to share! No RSVPs needed – just show up to play!

Basement Blowout Rummage Sale, hosted by Rev. Molly Baskette
Sunday, July 21, right after worship
We’re having a big sale (most things free, “make us an offer” on higher-value items) this coming Sun., July 21 to clear the parking lot of treasures we evacuated from the church basement! There are sofas, tables, antique chairs, strollers, vacuums, household goods, and so much more. Location: church parking lot, entrance next to 2330 Durant Ave, downtown Berkeley. The sale will run after worship from 11:30 am-2:30 pm. No early birds! Cash or Venmo acceptable.

Sing-along with the Old Folkies, hosted by Alice Clark & Charles Taylor, Kathy & Bob Helliesen, Bruce Stangeland, & Stan Boghosian
Thurs., Aug, 15, 5:30 pm, Alice Clark & Charles Taylor‘s home in El Cerrito
Join us to sing old favorites (words provided) and enjoy pizza (provided). Please bring salads, desserts, drinks, and snacks to share. There’s room inside for about 25 guests. We hope the weather will be fine, allowing us to use the deck and backyard, as well as the house – to be determined just before the event – which would let us expand the total. RSVP to Kathy Helliesen at [email protected] so we’ll know how much pizza to order in advance!

Summer Hike, hosted by Rev. Molly Baskette
Sunday, Aug. 25, soon after worship lets out
Join Rev. Molly for a moderate all-ages hike! On Sun., Aug. 25, something more wild up in the East Bay hills! No RSVPs needed – just show up with your water bottle and walking shoes!
