Philippine Missionary Relief Effort

Five (5) of our missionaries were greatly affected by the flood in the Philippines. Two (2) missionaries’ homes and their churches were underwater for a period of time and the flood washed away all of their belongings and church property. They hardly have clothing to wear, have very little food to feed their children, and don’t have enough money to cover their basic necessities. Needless to say they are in great need of our help!

This coming Sunday we ask if you could donate the following items:
- Clothing to wear – nothing fancy as long as they are wearable and will provide warmth
- Footwear – slippers, sneakers, shoes (no leather shoes, no pumps, no high heels, nothing fancy)
- Canned goods
- Cash donations
- Letters of encouragement and prayer

David and Pastor Alois are spearheading this effort. They’ll have a couple of boxes ready and have more in reserve. These boxes will be shipped to the Philippines through David’s work, FedEx, and it will take only two to three days to get to its destination.

Church Family Camp

Our joint family camp with FBC Oakland is on Friday through Sunday, September 11 to 13 at Daybreak Camp in Felton, CA (30-minute drive from San Jose). Fee is $50 per camper four years old and up. Payment deadline is on August 30.

Men’s Fellowship Event

The men’s fellowship group, Band of Brothers, went bowling at Earl Anthony’s Dublin Bowl in Dublin, CA last Saturday, August 22, in the morning. Afterwards, barbecue was served at the Gozum residence in Pleasanton, CA, where they also had a short devotion.

Garage Sale

Following a successful fund-raising garage sale last August 8 and 9 at the Bandong residence in Fremont, we will be having another garage sale on August 29 at the Ramos residence in Fremont. At least half of the proceeds will go to raising money for expenses for Family Camp this coming September 11 to 13 in Felton, CA.

Church Picnic

Our annual picnic will be held on July 11, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the R&G Club located in the Chevron Richmond Refinery in Richmond, CA. There will be plenty of food so bring your appetite. The site offers lots of amenities for everyone to enjoy such as a large children’s playground, swimming pools, basketball/volleyball gym, bowling alleys and a rec room that has a pool table and table tennis.

It’s a Boy!
