New Life Covenant Women's Mini- Retreat

New Life Covenant women went up to Judy's cabin at Mission Springs for a mini-retreat.

We had time for just hanging out, and the best food (thank you, Judy and John!) and time for a little meditative early morning stretching and then some alone time with God.  What a refreshing day.

Human Trafficking Fundraiser

Several women from New Life hosted a fundraising banquet and silent auction to beneift New Day for Children. We had a sold-out crowd and raised over $10,000 to help the local victims of human trafficking.

Terry and Kevin thanked

Kevin and Evelyn Johnson (the Pacific Southwest Conference Suprintendent) honored Terry Hershberger yesterday with a plaque, thanking him for his leadership as Chair of the Church Board during the last three years.

Evelyn gave us words from Habbukuk 1:5 --"Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."

She thanked Kevin for listening to the Lord and being willing to follow Him where he leads us. She believes that God is going to do amazing things in the greater San Jose area and beyond as a result of our sacrifice and willingness to put everything on the line in order to let more people hear the wonderful news of God's love for them and of his grace.

The Wisemen

Gina decided to use the little ones (1 year olds) to be the wisemen. They were so cute. Maddie was carrying a fishing pole with a star on the end, and she kept pointing to herself and saying, "mine, mommy" -- she didn't want Christy helping her hold the star. Jessica was told to give Jesus her gift -- she then took it to Kevin. (I think she thinks he's Jesus.) What a precious program.

Christmas Program

We had the most adorable Christmas program at church yesterday! Mary and Joseph (Haven and Jay) took their role as Mary and Jospeh so seriously. Mary was playing with baby Jesus' hands the whole time as if he were a real baby. The shepherds (Curt, Jeremy, Joel, and Justin)came in with their hockey sticks and played their parts well. They were great.
