• http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=US&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&addtohistory=&cat=&address=10110+N.+De+Anza+Blvd.&city=Cupertino&state=CA&zipcode=
• 7:30 - 8:00pm - Children sing along praise and worship session. Michelle will be our family worship leader. Please arrive promptly
• Snacks: As a Lentern observant, we will not have snacks. Please bring beverage for your child and your own needs.

In this chapter of Luke’s gospel, not only are we seeing examples of great faith, Jesus’ compassion on the faithful and the sorrowful, Jesus also taught us how is it that we can recognize and be completely confident that he is the messiah.

Let us focus on Jesus’ compassion on us for a moment, and reflect upon how it fills us with compassion for others, especially those in our families and those who have no knowledge of his great love and mercy.

God Bless,

Maria

Cornerstone Bible Study - 3/9: The story of Creation

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study.

• Special Topic - Genesis, The Story of Creation. Fr. Marvin Deutsch will lead
• Date/Time: 3/9 (Friday) 8:00pm
• Location: St. Joseph of Cupertino School. 10110 N. De Anza Blvd., Cupertino. (click on link below for map)
• http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=US&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&addtohistory=&cat=&address=10110+N.+De+Anza+Blvd.&city=Cupertino&state=CA&zipcode=
• We will start the talk at 8:00pm. Please arrive promptly.
• Snacks: As we are in the Lenten session. We will not have snacks.

We are very blessed to have Fr. Marvin Deutsch lead us in a talk on the Catholic view of the first 3 chapters of the book of Genesis and how it tells the story of creation. How should we view evolution vs. intelligent design by a creator - God himself. The talk will be in English. If you have one, please bring an English Bible. If not, it's ok - do not let this be a reason to miss this great opportunity to learn how to share our faith with others (and in not too distant a future - with our children) in this highly debated and often controversial topic. Lucia will print copies of the English/Chinese versions of Chapters 1-3 of Genesis.

God Bless,

Maria
