Major's Minute
Last week, we were blessed to dedicate Lorenzo Freddie Arellano at Modesto Red Shield. When we first met him two and a months old in the hospital - he was struggling to breath on his own. His little body connected to tubes for about nine days, no one knew if he was going to pull through. But, at six months old the church witnessed him being given back to the Lord.
We thank the church leadership and Major Daniel, for ensuring that Sunday service went smoothly! To God be the glory!
Major Shoshannah

Congratulations Brynne Begonia and Rhys Jones

General Information
Dates: March 24th-26th, 2023
Location: Camp Redwood Glen
Cost: $180 (Regular Santa Clara attenders pay $135, 25% off!)
Age : 13-18 years old
Registration due: March 10
Theme: Remix
- Remix is a term used in the musical world to define the process of altering a song to produce a different version of that same song. It consists of adding, removing, and/or balancing the many different tracks to create that new version. In the same way, Jesus is the remix of our lives. When we come to know who Jesus is, He removes the bad tracks in our lives, adds powerfully new tracks, and even amplifies the tracks we already have. Through Jesus, we are made new!
- “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
