2. New Covenant Church in Martinez seeks part time pastor for college/career ministry.

1. Please go see the "Amazing Grace" movie ASAP!

My biggest regret in seeing the movie "Amazing Grace" earlier today is that I waited this long to go see it! It is the best movie I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot of movies!). The life of William Wilberforce is dramatically presented in his successful fight to end the slave trade in England in the late 1700's. Amazing Grace is a high quality film (even by Hollywood standards!) with terrific Kingdom values. Most of you know how I am about saving more to give more. But this is one of those exceptions. I believe Christians should support movies that reflect wholesome values, so I spent the extra money to go see this movie at the theatre rather than waiting until later to rent the DVD.

2. New Covenant Church in Martinez seeks part time pastor for college/career ministry.

New Covenant Church in Martinez is prayerfully seeking for a part-time minister (seminarian or ordained pastor) who would start college/single ministry with 10-15 people (currently attending) and about 20+ away (who visit during summer and winter break). We are looking for someone with multi-ethnic vision and heart for college students.
Diablo Valley College is only 5 minute away from NCC and UC Berkeley is about 30 minute away.
Job description includes occasionally preaching on Sundays, occasionally leading Bible study, discipleship training, campus visits, leading small groups, and member care while working closely with other staffs.
If you are interested, please contact Loren Chong 925.577.3677

3. Missionary from Hong Kong seeks housing and car in Bay Area for this summer.

David Pardini is a graduate of Dallas Seminary and has been serving for decades as a missionary teaching at the China Baptist Theological College as well as in various Asian nations on behalf of Asia Baptist Theological Seminary, and also ministers in various churches in Hong Kong.

David, his wife, and their college aged son, are seeking a place to live in the greater Bay Area while on furlough this summer. Since they must continue to pay their rent in Hong Kong, they need a place where they can stay for free. They also need the use of a reliable car.

If anyone can help with either of these needs, please contact David directly.

5. New discounted prices for SF Giants tix for 2007.

I still have a pair of tix for almost all of the SF Giants home games from Mon 4/30 through the rest of the year. However, I recently learned my pair of tix (section #330) is in a lower price range since it is considered "View Reserved Outfield."

Therefore, in order to provide everyone with a more equitable discount, the following prices will apply -

for game on weekdays, Mon-Thurs, the price is just $15 for the pair of tix (face value is $20)
for game on Fri-Sun, the price is $25 for the pair of tix (face value is $40).

Please check their game schedule at http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=sf and contact me ASAP if you are interested in buying a pair of tix to a game. If you have never been to ATT Park in SF, allow me to share that I consider it the most beautiful ballpark of the 16 major league parks I have visited in my life. Also, Barry Bonds hit career home run #735 earlier this evening and is now just 20 home runs from tying Hank Aaron's career record of 755 home runs!
