And now for some food for thought!
Coming into our Easter season, now is a lovely time to reflect on all the gifts we have been given by God. In my own life, I have recently been admiring the aesthetically pleasing landscape that surrounds us. I heard the snow retreat was a pretty ballin’ time up in the wild and beautiful mountains and if you life around C-town(Cupertino) I am sure you have been noticing all of the beautiful and abundant cherry blossoms. If you have some extra time this week, or are simply procrastinating take a look outside and think about how lucky we are to be ourselves
Hope to see you alot this week!

Hello friends of David,
Here’s a invitation by the Schrey’s to join them for a celebration of the successful months long journey of David. As I reflect back my overall feeling is that community surrounding the Schrey’s was the church at it’s best! So many prayers, food runs, chicken dishes, visitors, late night hospital antics, hallway golf, nerf projectiles, panda meat, scars, tubing, tears, laughter, drug induced quotes, and caring that touched all of Stanford Hospital’s 3 West. This is where the church needs to be!
I would like to encourage all of us to live that way in our daily lives, not just when there is a crisis. I would also like to personally thank David Schrey for teaching me how to live a spirit filled life:-) So, come and join the Schreys as they celebrate.
Peace, Tom
Here’s the invite:
Hello Friends,
As I write this David is four weeks post-surgery. In a few weeks he will be done receiving IV antibiotics, getting his central PICC-line removed, and be able to drive and resume most regular activities. It has been a long and complicated road but also an extraordinary one. It’s now time to celebrate!
We are so grateful for the amazing love and support we experienced throughout those long six weeks and we would like to show our appreciation to all of you who have been with us through this journey.
Please join David and the rest of the Schrey family for an open-house party/celebration on Sunday, March 6 from 4:00 -8:00 pm. Stop in for food, refreshment, and fellowship!
If you need the address – please email at m.----@------.net
With thanks and love,
The Schrey Family
