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.

If you'd like to discover even more on the controversial passage of Jesus and the Syrophoenician woman, join the Mariners class this Sun., June 11, at 9:30am upstairs in the Family Center. Bruce Green, one of our regular attenders and a retired missionary, will be sharing his research on the text.

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.
