All Church Prayer - SUnday, March 19th!
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 Campout - Save the Date!
As many of you know, last year we had a great time at our All Church Campout which was held at Mount Madonna County Park (just 45 minutes from here, but it feels like a world away). We camped Saturday night and held the service in the redwoods there on Sunday morning.
Good news: we’re planning to do it again! Based on a survey y’all filled out a while back, it seemed the weekend of June 24-25 was best. So that’s what we went with. Mark your calendars now and plan to join us. You won’t want to miss it! More info to come as we get closer to the date.

Allen at Steinbeck Volunteer Application
We have some exciting opportunities to partner and serve Allen at Steinbeck Elementary School coming up soon. In order to volunteer at any future school events, all volunteers are required by SJUSD (San Jose Unified School District) to do the following:
Completed volunteer application
Proof of COVID vaccination
TB clearance
Fingerprint/background check clearance through San José Unified
Please note that there is a 6-7 week wait for the fingerprint/background check clearance -- so if you're even remotely interested, please start the process ASAP. (Youth volunteers -- under 18 -- need to go through the process but do not need to get fingerprinted.)

Mercy Hill Women's Study - Adorned!
"Imagine older women investing themselves in the lives of younger women. Imagine younger women widening their circle to include women who've walked further down the road. Imagine women of all ages and seasons—being transformed by His truth and making the gospel beautiful and believable to those around them." This is how the book Adorned: Living Out the Beauty of the Gospel Together by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth describes God's plan for women outlined in Titus 2:1-5, 10.
Join us for a weekly Bible Study based on this book and the accompanying study guide on Tuesday nights. Though the study began on October 25th, you can still jump in anytime!
The 14-week study will include breaks for Thanksgiving week, the month of December, and Valentine's Day. The last meeting will be March 7th. Marcia Bolster is leading an in-person study at 7:00pm in her home near Lake Almaden and Christina Lugo is leading an online study via Zoom at 8:00pm. Each study's ending time will be determined by the group.
The book and study guide can be ordered together online at christianbook.com or amazon. Homework for each meeting will be relatively brief: reading a chapter of the book and completing the corresponding section of the study guide.
