共讀《心靈的重塑》（魏樂德）

時間：7/15-9/9

7:00–8:30 PM

地點：Christ Community Church of Milpitas （Yosemite Room）

親愛的弟兄姊妹，您是否曾經想過，自己的屬靈生命也能像房屋經過remodel一樣，煥然一新？不再只是靠著「意志力」勉強維持信仰生活，而是由內而外地經歷更新，使生命真正活出基督的樣式。《心靈的重塑》將幫助您從思想、情感、意志、身體、社交關係，以及靈魂六個向度，跟隨作者魏樂德這位屬靈的建築師，展開一場「心靈重塑（remodel）」之旅，讓神從生 命的根基開始重塑你，帶來由內而外的更新。

Have you ever imagined that your spiritual life could be renewed just as a house is transformed through a remodel? Instead of merely relying on willpower to maintain your faith, you can experience a deep, inward renewal that enables you to truly live out the likeness of Christ.

Renovation of the Heart invites you to embark on a journey of spiritual transformation. Guided by author Dallas Willard, a master architect of the spiritual life, you will explore.

Come celebrate India’s 80th Independence Day at an all-church potluck in the Social Hall after Sunday service on August 16. Get a taste of the diverse food, music, traditions and languages of a subcontinent that spans the mighty Himalayan mountains in the north and the scenic Kanyakumari coast in the south. Please bring your dish to the roll-up counter at the kitchen prior to the service and indicate whether it should be kept warm, refrigerated, or at room temperature.

C3 Men!

Come join us for the C3 Men’s Retreat 2026, September 18-20, at Redwood Christian Park (RCP) for a weekend of transformational teaching and discussion, fellowship, and fun!

The title of this year’s retreat is Replication: A Culture of Discipleship.

In 2 Timothy 2:2, the Apostle Paul describes the fundamental Culture of Discipleship, “You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others. (NLT)”  Each of us, as a disciple of Jesus, is called to embody the gospel so that we can help others to do the same, who can then go and help others to do the same. This is disciple replication.

You may be wondering how you can be an effective player in this Culture of Discipleship.  Come to the retreat to hear our guest speaker, Pastor Jeff Harris, explain that this Culture of Discipleship consists of three elements: Engage, Equip, and Empower. “God desires to engage your heart so you can truly engage those around you. He longs to equip you so you can equip others on their journey.  And He empowers you through His Spirit so you can empower others to multiply the gospel.” No matter where you are in your faith journey, you are welcome and encouraged to join us.

In addition to our teaching and discussion sessions, we’ll have great times of fellowship and fun such as archery tag, basketball, hiking, pickleball and more.

The event cost includes meals and lodging. More information on lodging choices and costs will be available in the our registration form.

Carpooling is recommended. Also, we’ll be hosting around 10-12 CityTeam men from the residential program who will need rides to and from RCP. If you would like to volunteer as a driver, you can sign up during registration.

Please register as soon as possible at registration form. You can also register a friend. THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER IS FRIDAY, SEPT 4.
