The “Birth of Impressionism” display from the Musee De’Orsay includes works of art from Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Passarro, and others. Nearly 100 magnificent masterpieces are being shown nowhere else in the world while the Musee D’Orsay is retrofitted. Rumor has it this may be the last time these works of art will ever leave France. We‘ll leave Bethel (by Youth bus) at 9:00am sharp for a 10:30 slot at DeYoung, then go to lunch afterwards. Group tickets range from $10 - $20 per person (children under 6 free).

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:12) Men need to manage many roles in life. While we might learn formally and informally how to be effective in these roles, connecting with other men can be really helpful. Men's Night Out is designed to create a space for men of all ages to come together to worship God, hear each other's stories, learn more about God's involvement in our lives, and support one another. Meetings will include a time of worship, testimony, teaching, fellowship and prayer. Each month we'll consider a particular topic during the testimonial and teaching time, and allow small-group discussions on that topic. While men may be at different stages of life, our common desire to learn about and serve the Lord binds us together. Men's Night Out is also intended to be a time for men to invite and welcome their friends to experience Bethel in a setting different than Sunday morning, and to learn more about God's relevance in our lives. Please come and invite your friends. (Note: this group typically meets in the Fireside Room, however, from March through June it meets in the Youth Room.) http://www.bethelcupertino.org/calendar/info.cgi?id=1171563775 Date: the 3rd Sunday of each month until April 17 excep Time: 1:30PM - 3:30PM July 18 '10: "The Lacuna" by Barbara Kingsolver.
