Thank you for writing.
I check email when I am in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. My writing days are Wednesdays.
During my office hours I can be reached at the church at 510-525-0302 ext. 303. Outside of office hours, or if you have a pastoral care emergency, please call me directly at 510-592-8738 and leave a message with your name, whether you are calling with an emergency need (serious illness, death, trauma, etc.), and how I can best reach you when returning your call. I will respond to urgent and emergency messages as soon as I can and all other messages the next time I am in the church office.
