SiVIC Annual Assembly and Forum
Join us for a celebration of the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council and our work to promote a more just and compassionate community. Earlier this year, the Board of Supervisors endorsed the Charter for Compassion and declared our county to be “Compassionate Santa Clara County.” What would a compassionate county look like? Hear a panel discussion with community leaders, governmental officials, and religious leaders engage the theme. We’ll also have a guest choir, awards honoring those people who have helped make SiVIC what it is today and the chance to meet people from across the religious spectrum of Silicon Valley.
Please RSVP for the SiVIC Assembly 2017 and Forum, so that we can accommodate all attendees.
For any questions or further information, please contact Rev. Joy-Ellen Lipsky at joy-ellen@sivicouncil.org.

Unity Prayer Service Celebrates Diversity
Community members from across the spectrum joined together on Sunday, August 20 for a celebration of unity, a response to the recent events in Charlottesville, and a pledge with local public officials to work together toward justice in the community at large. Civic leaders attending included San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia, SJ Mayor Sam Liccardo, San Jose City Council members Chappie Jones and Lan Diep, Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese, and US Representative Zoe Lofgren.
The event was hosted at Evergreen Baptist Church on the east side of San Jose.

Deacon Steve Herrera, of the SiVIC Board, took photos of the event.
