City
Team and Prayer Evangelism
Looking at the history behind several loved holiday
songs.
by Brittany Brinkman
In
the beginning of November, the Prayer Evangelism class traveled to
the San Jose office of CityTeam Ministries. They took a tour of the
premises and learned all of what CityTeam entitles.
When the Prayer Evangelism class entered the building, they were taken
directly to the center where all donations for Hurricane Katrina victims
are collected and sorted. For the month of December, the center is
used to arrange food and gifts in order to distribute them to the
surrounding area. This Christmas there is a great need for donations.
Because of the recent disasters, the shelter is already at a shortfall
in food, clothes, and gift donations. Hundreds of thousands of homeless
people from around the Bay Area will come to CityTeam Ministries for
urgently needed meals and gifts this Christmas.
Next, the class walked into the charity-clothing store, where local
people in need can actually shop for clothes with no cost to them.
The class was informed about the many people who receive clothes for
school, work and everyday life. As the class continued they entered
the Learning Center where local citizens can receive an education
such as their high school diploma or G.E.D. The next room is used
for graduates of the Learning Center. In this room they can find jobs
from the Career and Employment Services. This program allows members
of the community to support themselves and their families.
After their walk through the main building, the class moved to the
center for the homeless. This building is for people who are either
in the Learning Center or part of the Career and Employment Services
and do not currently have a home. Here they can have a place to sleep,
study, and get ready to work. In the beginning of November, the Prayer
Evangelism class traveled to the San Jose office of CityTeam Ministries.

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
