We will not be meeting on the first Friday of the month during summer so we can focus on special summer Sunday gatherings, the first of which is the all-church Summer Kick-Off Potluck on June 4. We are prayerfully considering what our intergenerational meeting will look like this fall. Please join us in praying for guidance and keep an eye out for next month's summer Sunday event.

We're excited to team up with CityTeam for our third year of honoring men who are changing their lives through their programs. This year, we are also teaming up with MUCH Hope to celebrate with men on local farms. We will be collecting donations for 120 gift bags, to be assembled at Bridges on June 9 at 10:00am and then delivered to CityTeam San Jose or the farms in Salinas. Please consider joining us by donating any of these needed items and bringing them to church by June 9. We are also seeking help with delivering the bags. For more information, please contact Lyn Rogers: lynrogers143@gmail.com or 408-355-5302.

Instead of a regular monthly meeting on June 9, we will join an RTB Zoom webinar entitled "Human Exceptionalism: Degree or Kind?" Genesis 1:27 tells us that God created humans in his own image, but many Christians believe all animals are exceptional and humans are only more exceptional in degree. RTB thinks human exceptionalism is special because of God's image. Our chapter will join the webinar livestream on Friday evening, June 9, and all day Saturday, June 10. You may attend as much or as little of the webinar as your schedule permits. See more details and the required registration HERE. For a coupon code to waive the $10 livestream fee, call Kirby Hansen at 650-917-9107, text him at 650-823-3291, or e-mail kirbyh@pacbell.net.
