Announcements
All Church Campout - REGISTER TODAY!
We are excited to announce that we'll be hosting an All Church Campout at Mount Madonna County Park over the weekend of August 2nd-4th! We have a huge group campsite all to ourselves and lots of options in the park for having fun together. Whether you love to camp or you'd rather still sleep in your own bed, we have something for everyone. Because the park is only a 45 minute drive from south San Jose, people can feel free to come and go as it works with their schedule and preference.
Option #1: Day-Use: For those not wanting to camp but still wanting to participate, the Day-Use option is best. You can come in for the day, enjoy activities, meals, etc., and then head home to your warm bed while the rest of us "rough" it : ).
Option #2: Camp: This option is for those who want the full camping experience. We have the site for Friday and Saturday nights. You can choose to camp for one or both of these depending upon your availability and desire.

Mercy Hill Men's BBQ Hangout + Tasting Tour!
Men of Mercy Hill! There are a lot of good BBQ joints around the Bay Area and we thought it might be fun to hit some of them up together. What better way to connect and encourage each other towards Jesus than while enjoying a burger or some smoked brisket : )
The first stop on our tour is going to be Trail Dust BBQ in Morgan Hill (17240 Monterey Rd, Morgan Hill, CA 95037). We'll meet at 12:30pm for lunch on Saturday, July 13th.

New Men's DNA Group: Frontline Men!
The Christian life is a battle that is worth fighting till the very end. Unfortunately, many Christian men today have all but abandoned the good fight that Christ has called us to. We often sit on the sidelines and ignore costly discipleship for the sake of comfort or avoiding fear. It is time for Christian men to get back on the frontlines of the spiritual battle. It is time for us to wage war against the kingdom of darkness and advance the kingdom of God; first in our own lives, then in the world.
The goal of this group is to call men out of the snares of isolation, sexual sin, and cultural Christianity and into a radical lifestyle of following Jesus, no matter the cost. During our gatherings, we will take time to bond with each other in fellowship, study Scripture together, encourage one another to grow in our accountability and discipleship, and pray for one another. We hope you can join!!

Sunday Prayer Walk - Sunday, July 28th!
We will be gathering after service this Sunday, June 23rd at 1:00pm to do a prayer walk in the local neighborhood! So grab lunch after the service, and consider joining us to pray for our neighboring community, as we hope to have the opportunity to share the gospel with those who are open and ready to engage. We'll have a brief time before the prayer walk to discuss what to pray for, so we invite anyone regardless of experience to join and learn.

All Church Prayer - Sunday, July 7th!
Prayer is the start of everything good (Acts 1:14). It is the death of self-reliance and the lifeline of faith. It is the moving of our eyes outward and upward. It is the stretch of our empty hands towards a Father rich in mercy. As a church we prioritize this regular prayer meeting because of our deep-seated conviction that, while man can plant and water, it is only God who can cause the growth (1 Cor. 3:7).
This Sunday's prayer meeting will held in-person at 6:00pm at the Wilson Residence. Click here for more info.

All Church Hangout - Sunday, July 7th!
Meaningful community is hard to find in Silicon Valley, even in the church. Our congregation is spread out all over the city. But there is one day of every week when we all commit to gather together and worship our God: Sunday. It seems strategic to take this pre-existing momentum and work with it in an attempt to develop deeper community within our body. Therefore, on occasional Sundays throughout the year we will invite the church to enjoy picnic-style afternoons together immediately following the service.
The Plan: After service, bring or buy your lunch and join us at the tables out back for a picnic-style afternoon (we may shift inside depending on weather). We’ll also open the gym for people to play in!

New City Catechism - This Week's Q&A
Question 13
Can anyone keep the law of God perfectly?
Since the fall, no mere human has been able to keep the law of God perfectly, but consistently breaks it in thought, word, and deed.
(For more, click here.)
Note: For 2024-25, we will be progressing through the catechism at a slower place—lingering on the same question for two weeks at a time.
