You and the people you care about are invited to join us for Good Friday Service at 7pm on Friday, April 19 at The Home Church, located at 1711 S. Winchester Blvd. in Campbell, Calif. Good Friday is the anniversary of the day Jesus Christ was tried by Pontius Pilate, then convicted and condemned to death on a cross (crucifixion) for the crime (sin) of blasphemy (claiming to be God). The Jewish religious leaders saw Jesus' radical teachings to "love God and love your neighbor as yourself" as a threat to their authority and livelihood. They tempted one of Jesus' own trusted followers, the disciples' treasurer, Judas Iscariot, into betraying Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to a contingent of 200 Roman soldiers. Judas pointed out Jesus by giving him a kiss. Judas received "blood money" fo... 04/19/2019

Campbell Planning Commission Study Session Tonight March 12 at 7:30 pm.   The Campbel Planning Commission will hold a “study session” this evening at 7:30 PM (City Hall, City Council Chambers) to consider changes to the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance on Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers. State Law requires the City to allow ADUs (also known as secondary units, “granny-flats,” etc.) on properties that allow single-family homes. In time, this could result in the doubling of residential units in Campbell’s neighborhoods. The intent of the study session is to identify reasonable development allowances that balance the State’s demand for additional housing with residents’ desire to preserve their neighborhoods’ character.  Residents are encourage... 03/12/2019

While raised as a Christian but not a Catholic, my soul still resonates at the idea of Lent, which starts on March 6, 2019. During Lent, which is the 40 day period leading up to Easter Sunday,believers in Jesus Christ as Savior choose to give up something they enjoy but isn't good for them, such as smoking, eating sweets or swearing.In olden times, people traditionally went on a fast of sorts-eliminating sugar, butter, meat and fat from their diets. Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, that day before Ash Wednesday when Lent starts, was the big feast of goodies to tide folks over until Easter.As I understand Lent, the idea is for Christians to "participate in Christ's bodily suffering" as a way to experience the pain Jesus took on for us, and draw nearer to Him in daily life.Obviously, the return... 03/06/2019
