LET'S BUILD A JULY FOURTH FLOAT
Casual Dress for Worship this Sunday Recommended
Piedmont Church is entering a float into this year's Piedmont Community Fourth of July parade. We are planning on an old-fashioned float using crepe paper so all ages can participate.
We are making a dove for world peace. We will be working on it in the church parking lot Saturday, July 2, 9am - 3pm and Sunday, July 3, after worship.
On Sunday, we will provide grilled hot dogs, lemonade, chips and popsicles for all who participate. Everyone is welcome to come to join in the fun.
On the actual day of the parade, we would like to have people walk with the float. A limited amount of t-shirts have been ordered that say Community is Our Middle Name. Also, we thought it would be fun to have some signs and some people dressed up in clothes you would wear on the Mexico Mission Trip.

IT'S PERSONAL
Beginning this Sunday, July 3, Steve Schibsted, Don Ashburn, Scott Kail and Steve Main will share stories of their faith in a July sermon series. Each will take a Bible verse that is meaningful to them, and will connect it to their personal faith journey.
Experience in-person, and online, beginning at 10am.

REFUGEE TASK FORCE UPDATE
Task Force Seeks Continued Assistance for Putrenkov Family
By Scott Willis
Wheels in the Gap
A generous member of our church has come forward with a gift of a car that will transfer to the Putrenkovs in 4-6 weeks. We are hoping that someone might be able to loan the family a car to cover this 4-6 week gap. If this type of arrangement would work for you, contact Megan Palsa at [email protected] to coordinate the details.
Odds & Ends Jobs
We continue to look for small handy man/woman jobs that would be appropriate for Alex and Maryna. If you have something around the house that is just not getting done, please reach out. Contact Judy Wright
For more information about the Refugee Task Force, contact Scott Willis (510) 409-2832 or Bob Wright (510) 333-3165

GOOD LOOKIN' OUT
