Dear Church Family, If you woke up and glanced at the front page of the New York Times on June 25, 1927, you would have seen articles about Harvard beating Yale in a boat race, significant political events in China and even an article about the famed aviator Colonel Charles Lindbergh. You also would have…
Dear Church Family, I see tents on the freshly cut grass. Hmm…what must that mean? I think I know — it’s time for the Church Picnic! Better take a lint brush to your Hawaiian shirt! Sunday is the day to wear it. Lots of work and planning has gone into this picnic. As we’ve said,…
Dear Church Family, Mystery Man #1 Yesterday I walked around a corner in the Cupertino Community Center and there I stood, face to face, with a mystery man. We locked eyes. He smiled. I waved “hello” and then walked to a bench to write a text message. Then “Johnson” (that’s his name) ran up and…
Dear Church Family, Lately, every time I turn around, I see and hear about stars. For example, Ethan, Caroline and I just saw the new Star Wars movie. Every song I hear on Pandora Internet Radio references stars falling and twinkling. I even tested this “star phenomenon” and opened up a magazine on my desk…
Dear Valley Church Family, I was driving through the Costco parking lot earlier this week and saw this license plate pictured below. Can you read it? Here’s a close-up.

On Tuesday, our long-awaited Alpha Course began. We had a diverse group of visitors because you prayed and invited people to learn about Christianity. We had plenty of food and beautiful…
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Happy New Year! This Sunday is a family service. Kids, I’m excited that you’ll be in “big church” and I have much to share with YOU. So please come and sit close to the front. Kick out the guys who normally sit in the front row! Here are some thoughts to…
Dear Church Family, Recently I was driving to my daughter’s soccer game when I snapped a picture of a Jeep with the license plate “ALLGRNZ.” As a church family on pilgrimage, we’ve been on different surfaces this week (although we’re all heading to same ultimate destination). Louise Winsor is on El Camino Hospital soil where…
Dear Church Family, I saw this cartoon in a magazine the other day. It shows a man sitting in an office cubicle with a beard of stinging insects. Perched around him are a variety of flying creatures. His boss approaches and says: “Roger, I think it’s time we had a little talk about the birds…
