“Camp was special. We touched the lives of the children and families that participated with us. We shared how special each one is in God’s eyes with gifts and talents to be shared and appreciated. We learned that many athletes remember who has blessed them with special talents, give thanks, and often forgo “going for the gold” to do what is needed at the moment to help another.” Here are some lovely photos to remember “Go For The Gold” Kids Camp 2024 at The Episcopal Church in Almaden!

What a Fun Experience for teachers and kids alike! How do you know if what you did went well? Look at the family’s faces. Look at the parent’s smiles. Look at the excited kids showing off their creations. Look at the amazing art work that was displayed around our fellowship hall and choir room. Feel the energy around the room as the program came to life. Yes, the church was opened up as an “art studio” of music, art, and spirituality. We felt God’s blessings upon all of it. Here are some lovely photos to remember “Adventuring in the Arts” Kids Camp 2023 at The Episcopal Church in Almaden!

Pentecost Sunday was special as we heard the scripture read in Aramaic, the language that Jesus spoke. Just listening to it filled the room with the holy spirit. The Reverend Eliza Linley delivered a meaningful sermon that spoke to many leaving the congregation feeling inspired. Here are some lovely photos to remember Pentecost 2023 at The Episcopal Church in Almaden!

On Saturday, December 10th, there was a service, led by Bishop
Lucinda, recognizing the completion of Shelley Denney's
ministry at The Episcopal Church in Almaden. This was followed by a retirement party for Shelley, including a delicious meal prepared by Alain Guichard and his crew. There was a play, created by Susie Ferguson, which contained much humor but also much heartfelt appreciation for Shelley's seven and one-half years at ECA….

This was such a lovely evening full of fellowship and good fun! All sixty-two reservations joined this well planned event.
We had a wonderful lead chef, Alain Guichard, who planned and shopped for our menu along with his ever-present sous-chef, Elizabeth. He was joined by a great cooking staff, Gwen Hacker and Carla Gerber from CCAV,UCC and Tom Ruffo and Harry Yamamura from ECA. We enjoyed fresh grilled bratwurst, cucumber salad, potato salad, and sauerkraut. We were also treated to a simple classic and very tasty dessert of the German people….
