It’s the second Sunday in Advent, honoring Love. After celebration, please stay to vote on the nominating committee.

This Sunday we will have an MPC-style spin on Egyptian, Persian, Greco-Roman and Hebrew Mythologies and spiritual traditions that shaped how Christians understand what it means for Christ to reign.

It’s Remembrance Sunday. When you come to celebration, please bring a photo or memento for the ofrenda, and together we’ll celebrate the great communion of saints, which includes our loved ones now past.

Today’s guest preacher will be Michael Galvan, a Roman Catholic Priest who happens to be of Ohlone and Coast Miwok ancestry. After celebration Fr. Galvan will be leading us in a conversation about his experiences growing up Ohlone/Miwok in the Bay Area.

This Sunday in the sanctuary we will have a segment of the removed bridge on display. After celebration, please join the staffing conversation as we decide how best to fill Talitha’s vacant position.

Join us this week for Pastor Ben’s inspirational message, “How To Go To Hell.”

This Sunday, Pastor Ben and a group of your fellow congregants will be at Mission San Antonio. Katie Kilby will be preaching the celebration, the choir will be singing – it will be a good Sunday to worship at Montclair Presbyterian church.

This week’s service will include a sermon on Jesus’ message of radical equality, and we’ll have wonderful music and time for prayer. After celebration we will have a luncheon barbeque together. During the barbeque we’ll have opportunities to share and to learn about some of the different kinds of work MPC is doing.

This week, Ben’s sermon will tackle the difficult question of when it is appropriate to create friction and division. Perhaps this webpage may be the appropriate place to mention that I’ve got a lot of problems with you people!

Tomorrow’s celebration will be special for two reasons. First, members of the Pacific Boys’ Choir will be joining us and that, alone, is reason enough to make joining celebration a priority, weather you’re participating in person or online.

The other reason tomorrow will be special is that I am participating in a pulpit swap. Calvin Sodestrom, the pastor of Park Blvd Presbyterian Church will be preaching in our celebration while I am preaching at Park Blvd. I think it is going to be fun for me, for Calvin, and for both congregations.
