As an annual tradition, Dr. Ross Jutsum visited San Jose and San Leandro churches November 12-13. Dr. Ross conducted the entire service with his music, inspiring stories, and family updates.

With the leadership of Jo Barnard, we filled shoeboxes with toys, school stuff, and other items, for the Operation Christmas Child by Samaritan’s Purse. During our church service, we were reminded that Jesus cared for the poor and the little children. We viewed a video from the Samaritan’s Purse website about the impact of this ministry …

We had fun with cakes and singing for our August and September birthday celebrants: Jo Barnard, Rosemarie Guevarra, Tina Johnson, and Clyde Davis.

Having just concluded a memorable SEP Tahoe Camp, Jillian Caranto gave the main message at church on August 7, 2016.  Jillian covered the SEP Curriculum, which is “Celebrating the Grip of Grace”. We were blessed with the visit of Oma, Omar, Jane, and Brenna.
