Les Miserables – See the movie together as church family Jan. 26
In worship on Sunday, January 27, the movie Les Miserables will be
utilized as a major illustration of the Sevenfold Journey we are all
called to embark upon in the life of faith. Please join us as we watch
the movie together at the first show time of the day on January
26 at the San Mateo Cinemark Theater or see it on your own

A great film to invite family & friends to see with you!
Please Complete & Return Home Communion Ministry Survey
In September 2012, our church began a new ministry of scheduled
monthly visitation and Home Communion. It is time to evaluate this
four-month pilot program. The results will be presented to the
January Session for approval as an ongoing ministry of our church. If
you have not yet done so, please pick up, fill out, and return your
Home Communion survey to the bag on the narthex table or to the
church office. Thank you!
Faith Seeking Understanding Class – Chapel Sunday’s 9:30 a.m.
Since its early days, the Church has struggled with reconciling the

with the need of nations to fight wars for securing justice and peace.
Led by our own Mathew Koshy we will take a close look at the Just
War Theory, the classical Christian response to this question. Join us
for: Christian Views of War: Just War Theory and Christian
Discipleship. (Jan. 27 and Feb. 3) Ann Darling (574-0639) or Jill
