SJ Presbytery

Mission Study Trip to Peru

From May 18–26, Barry and Mary Green Vickrey were part of a seven-person Presbytery mission team to Peru. The trip was coordinated by Mission Co-worker Jed Koball, who works with Joining Hands Network Peru, an organization under the Presbyterian Hunger Program. The group learned about Jed’s work advocating for the environment and the rights of women and Indigenous peoples. 

Mary and Barry will be giving a presentation about their trip on Sunday, September 29 following worship.

Congregational Meeting

Sunday, July 14 • After worship

After we have celebrated Karin well and worshiped together on her last Sunday with us (July 14), we have one final obligation. We need to formally release Karin from her ministerial call here at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church. We will do this through a brief congregational meeting immediately following worship. Please join us.
