CityTeam in the next few weeks is focused on putting together backpacks filled with school supplies for needy kids in their programs in Santa Clara County. Children living at or below the poverty line find it difficult to get enough to eat this summer as their parents struggle to keep the lights on and the rent paid – they simply don’t have the funds to purchase school supplies. CityTeam will be hand delivering these backpacks to the families they serve around the third week of August. So, it’s important that we start raising funds right now to purchase backpacks and school supplies. Every $35 donated will provide a backpack filled with school supplies and other essential care for 1 child. There are over 2,000 children that they are working with this year.

Click here to watch a short video filmed a few weeks ago when they delivered backpacks to three young children. You can see the joy and self confidence a new backpack brings to a child that has very little. This webpage has a link you can use to make a donation.

	New date for the Annual PBCC Men's Retreat! Because of the financial strain for many families having the Men's and Women's retreat in the same month, our staff has decided to move the Men's Retreat from January to October beginning this year. Men's Retreat will be October 8-10, so save the date! Our speaker will be Barton Tarman (click on name for more info).

Service Opportunities: Please go to the “Ministries” tab at our website and click on the “Service Opportunities” link. You will find ways you can share the light and love of God in service to others. It is a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions or additions please let Andy Drake know.
