If you have ever been frustrated with the state of your spiritual life; if you’ve
ever wondered why spiritual growth seems to go so slowly; if you've ever
wondered if real change is possible; if you've ever felt confused or stuck in
your spiritual life – you’re my kind of person. We have plenty of head
knowledge, but how do we get that to connect with our hearts?
I have struggled and still do struggle with those same things. I wonder how I
can get to know God any better. Why don’t I hear his voice more clearly?
But I have also discovered that it is possible
to live the life I’ve always wanted to live.
The Good News of Jesus insists that human
beings really can change. It is never easy.
It is rarely quick. But it is possible, and it
happens. I see it happening in people from
time to time, and occasionally, in myself.
This kind of positive change happens any time people become intensely
serious about learning from Jesus how to arrange their lives.
Through the centuries, wise people have given themselves to following
Jesus in this way. This series of Sunday morning talks and small group
meetings is an attempt to make some of that wisdom accessible to us folks
who live in a world of freeways, X boxes and emails. When you are through,
my hope is that you will accept Christ’s invitation to live life his way because
it truly is the life you’ve always wanted.
From January 8th through February 12th I will be giving a series of Sunday
morning talks on six aspects of the life you’ve always wanted, the heart at
peace in a busy world. During each of those six weeks, small groups will
meet to watch a video by John Ortberg on the subject and to talk it over.
I hope you will find time to join with some friends, old or new, to explore the
life you’ve always wanted.
Happy New Year for 2012.

IPC Bell
Nine Deacons and Pastor Michael gathered at moderator June Dawson’s home on December 13,
for the final meeting of the year. The meeting was opened with prayer by Pastor Michael and a
devotional titled “It isn’t always easy” was given by Thea Pex. Minutes of the November meeting
were approved as read. Session report was reviewed and the Treasurer’s Report was filed for
audit. Communion and coffee assignments were reviewed. Pastor Michael continues to work with
Dan Kingman's mother and an attorney to resolve the details of Dan’s estate.
The church bell was installed above the choir room and was rung on Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day. We are thankful for this restoration as part of our 125th Anniversary Celebration. Information
for ordering a DVD of the October 8 program will be printed in the Sunday bulletin. The cost is $10
and may be ordered through Johnny Handono. Proceeds will go to the Deacons’ Fund.
Deacons’ Donations:
Two families were given clothing and food in approximate amounts of $250 each. The amounts
were appropriated based on need.
$2,000 was given to the League of Volunteers for the purchase of bicycles.
Jeanette Ollison was the November “Acts of Kindness” recipient and was given a $25 gift card
for Subway Sandwiches.
At the end of December, June Dawson, Geraldine Hoyt and Mary Wolfe will end their tenure on the
Board of Deacons. June thanked the Board for a job well done this year. In return, June was
thanked for her outstanding leadership role. At the close of the meeting, refreshments were served
in keeping with the holiday theme.
New Parish assignments will be given at the January meeting when new Deacons begin their term.

MissionS Update Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Thank you, Thank you, Thank you -- Mary Ellen McKowenMary Ellen McKowen
Mission Team extends heartfelt thanks to all who contributed gifts and to all who helped make a very
successful Birthday Party for Jesus. Fifty bags of gifts were delivered to Tri-City Volunteers, and,
indeed, there was a very happy, grateful response from the worker in
charge. She asked for details about where the gifts came from and
made sure she had the name and address of the giving organization in
order to send an official thank you letter. The gifts were to be distributed
the following Saturday at a special party they were planning.
Almost all bags donated had multiple gifts. It is estimated that there
were at least 150 gifts. The following Sunday an additional large bag labeled “Party for Jesus” was
discovered in the Narthex of the church with at least another 15 gifts in it. These were delivered the
next day, and although it was after their party distribution date, the Tri-City Volunteers were very
happy to have them for any last-minute distribution.
News From the Front Lines News From the Front Lines -- Pastor MichaelPastor Michael
Richard and Wendy Yancey live and work in a West African nation among a Muslim people six mil-
lion strong. They have three children, Nathan, Rachel and Anastasia. This year your Mission Team
was privileged to add Richard and Wendy’s work to our portfolio of mission workers.
Richard and Wendy and the children recently returned to their adoptive homeland after a spell in the
USA. When they got there, a religious leader, a friend of theirs, led them back into his compound in
the village. He came out of his house with an armload of books, including Bibles in Arabic, French
and the local language. He was eager to talk about God’s word, and it was clear that he had been
waiting for the opportunity. While Richard and Wendy were in the US
they had been praying for him and wondering how the scriptures
would be at work in his life. Now they found him to be an enthusiastic
seeker, and they pray that he will bring others who are open.
This leader is an example of a person of peace. When Jesus sent out
the twelve and then the seventy-two he told them, “Whatever town or
village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at
that house until you leave. As you enter the home, give it your
greeting. If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is
not let your peace return to you.” (Matthew 10:11-12)
Jesus told his followers to find a person who is both influential and
receptive to the good news, and then to spend time with that
“person of peace.” Please pray for this leader to be both receptive
to the good news and influential among his people.

Youth Ministry 12Stones Student Ministries News:12Stones Student Ministries News:
2011 Review:2011 Review: God has been amazing! In such a short time we have transformed our Student Ministry to mirror the
values, goals, and vision of His word that our church follows. We have witnessed development in our
students’ personal lives, cultures, and spirituality. At the same time our membership continues to
grow. Friday Night Fellowship for High School students and Sunday Morning Youth Service for
Jr. High and High School students has been rejuvenated. Our first College Fellowship and Sunday
Evening Restoration Service were established this past summer. As our ministry grew, we witnessed
also a growth in our youths’ commitment to the Lord. Three students, Mindy Chin, Nick Look, and
Alex Chung were baptized. With the Lord’s help, we look forward to having another blessed year
through prayer, faith and continuing support from everyone at IPC.
12Stones Sunday Service 12/18/2011:12Stones Sunday Service 12/18/2011: Brought back by popular demand, 12Stones Student Ministries joined
our Music Director, Daniel Khuc, for worship in songs. We are always
blessed to hear our gifted musicians lead us with familiar songs and lift
up our spirits with new ones! Thanks to Paul Choi, Nicholas Fong, Nick
Look, Diana Lam, & Mindy Chin who took time off from their holiday
break to inspire us with their talents. We ask that you continue to pray
for their success as they return to their respective campuses at Biola,
UC Davis, UC Irvine, Cornell, Presbyterian College, UC Berkeley, Chico, Columbia, and West Point.

IPC Christmas ConcertIPC Christmas Concert
We were delighted to attend our first annual concert in the Sanctuary on December 17. This was a
well-attended event that our congregation and visitors enjoyed. The program featured “Which Way
to the Stable?” performed by our Ikidz Drama Troupe. Nancy Wenstrom and Brad Catania two well-
known singers and artists performed many songs from their recently released CD “Come In To
Christmas.” Brad showed his skills on the Flugelhorn with a melodious rendition of “The Christmas
Song.” In his message, Pastor Michael explained “What Christmas is About.” The IPC choir sang
“It came Upon The Midnight Clear’’ and “The Little Drummer Boy.” Pastor on the guitar and Patti on
the flute serenaded us with “O Holy Night.” We found this program and the camaraderie of singing
carols with our fellow worshippers, a delightful way to start the celebration of our Savior’s birth.
Christmas Eve and Christmas WorshipChristmas Eve and Christmas Worship
The recently installed bell called us to worship on both days—what a treat! It was a blessing to see
so many new faces at both services. Thanks to Shirley Vic for posting invitation flyers around town.

Children’s Ministry
iKidz studied and celebrated Jesus’ birth this Advent season through many fun and exciting experi-
ences. On Tuesday nights, we continued to share in Jesus’ journey with his friends, discovering
many of His “upside down” teachings that are different from the world. We celebrated Advent togeth-
er as a family, with a special parent group dinner. The night ended with Pastor Michael leading our
beautiful Advent wreath experience in the church.
Meanwhile, back in the Sunday School Room our grade-school students tackled some challenging
questions from the unit “When Jesus Came.” This unit answers the question “Why is Jesus’ birth
important for us today?”
And wrapping up (yes...pun intended!) the Advent season, our kids did an outstanding job at pre-
senting the short play “Which Way to the Stable?” that shared the Christ-
mas story from the shepherds perspective.
They put in many hours memorizing their lines,
learning acting skills and rehearsing over 7
times. Their hard work paid off with a wonder-
ful performance that had the attendees raving
about the talent of the kids and sharing how
the experience touched their hearts. Every child who participated, came
away either learning a life lesson, discovering a new skill, or growing friendships with the cast.
iKidz would like to thank each and every member of IPC for their support of this ministry. What we do
week in and week out is impacting the future of each and every child.

Activities Update
Hirsch Homework Club and Kids Club Hirsch Homework Club and Kids Club -- Jeanette OllisonJeanette Ollison Church to establish a Hirsch Kids Club. In Feb-
ruary 2009, Carol
Lynn, I and 10
volunteers from
Harbor Light start-
ed the first Kids
Club in Alameda
County! In three
years of ministry, Hirsch’s Kids Club has grown
from 40 to about 100 students.
Carol Lynn shared that some students who were
reluctant to memorize scripture verses in her
Kids Club group now eagerly volunteer to recite
them. In my group, I was thrilled to explain to a
little boy whose father had passed away, that
“God promises to be a father to the fatherless.”
My children and I had experienced the same
loss; and I felt blessed to be able to comfort this
little boy by sharing with him our experience of
God’s tender love and care.
On Monday, December 12, 2011 the children
celebrated Jesus’ birthday with a presentation
for their parents. The 6th grade girls entertained
us with a skit while the youngest students
donned costumes to
set the scene of Jesus’
birth. The middle
grades recited poetry
and sang carols led by
Jackie Rockett. The
oldest boys heralded us with scripture verses.
What a joyous way to celebrate our Savior’s
birth!
Jackie Rockett is new this year at the Kids Club,
joining Carol Lynn and Jeanette Ollison.
Thank you to the volunteers who help make
these two programs successful!
During our church planning in 2006, God laid on
my heart the idea for the Homework Club. What I
had in mind was for students to come to IPC after
school for help with their homework. A note in
the Church Bulletin resulted in seven volunteers
offering their help. After consulting with Hirsch
Elementary School Principal, the consensus was
to have the club there.
At first we were challenged by negative behaviors
of some students in the Homework Club. We
worked with the teachers and principal and
prayed for God to influence the children’s hearts.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, had a transformational
effect on Hirsch’s students. The Homework Club
is now a friendly place. Students who were fail-
ing are excelling academically. Student behavior
has improved significantly and rising test scores
are garnering the attention of the School Board.
This year, Kamroon Baksh and Barbara Walton
joined last years volunteers, Jeanette Ollison,
Carol Lynn, Jeane Garrett, Thea Pex, and Shirley
Murray, to tutor students in the Homework Club.
In the summer of 2008, by God’s providence, I
met missionaries who promoted School Bible
Clubs. Once again I felt God’s calling and IPC
began praying for a Bible Club at Hirsch. There
weren’t enough volunteers in our Church to start
a Bible Club. Mrs. Casey, Hirsch’s Principal af-
ter viewing a promotional Kids Club video at Har-
bor Light Church, decided she wanted to have a
Kids Club at her school. We modeled the Hirsch
Kids Club after the Santa Clara County Kids
Club, an after-school program designed to teach
positive biblical life skills to children in public
schools. This Club was organized by several
churches in that area working together.
We collaborated and partnered with Harbor Light
Congregation News
Irvington Presbyterian Church page 8 January, 2012
"Life of the body" is a monthly report sharing how people serve in
IPC. It is presented at worship on the 2nd Sunday of each month.
In 1 Corinthians 12: 12-31, Paul compares the church body to the
physical body. Just as each part of our physical body is important
in order for it to function at it’s best, so too, it is in the church
body. Paul weaves together a picture of cooperation and mutual
care for one another. He tells us we need to have concern for all
parts equally so that “background” gifts are also praised and not
neglected. From the young person who is a Christian example to
the elderly saint whose endurance is an inspiration, each member
is vital, needed, and honorable. No member is unimportant.
A friend who injured her “unimportant” little toe, began walking on
the inside of her foot to keep pressure off the toe so it could heal.
After a few weeks, her knee began to ache and then her hip joint
and back. Her uneven gait caused problems throughout her
body. If you feel like you are a “little toe” in the church, we need
you! You are important! (And if you know of anyone who is a
“little toe,” please let me know so we can honor them by sharing
what they do in the church body.)

New Worship DirectorNew Worship Director
Welcome to Alishan Merjanian, our new Worship Director, who
started on January 4. In addition to helping plan worship, Alishan
will serve as Music Director. He has a BS in Music from San
Jose State and is currently pursuing graduate work.
Our sincere thanks to Daniel Khuc for stepping into the role of
Music Director for the past 4 months. It was a pleasure to see our
choir and Praise Group flourish under his direction.
We are blessed to have Alishan be a part of our church family
and to have Daniel continue his musical contributions to worship.
Anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and has been baptized is welcome to partake of
the Lord’s Supper in our church. It is a gift from God for us who do not deserve it,
but who gratefully receive his love and his cleansing power. We prepare to receive
the bread and cup by confessing our sins and doing our utmost to patch up any
differences with other people. At IPC we celebrate communion on the first Sunday
of each month, and on Thursday mornings at 7:30 am in the Sanctuary.

The Ariathurai’s were members of First United
Methodist Church on Washington Blvd. They
visited IPC during their search for a church that
was more bible based. After visiting many
churches, they decided to check out the church
with the steeple that is visible from Washington
Blvd. Here they found the strong bible-based
sermons they were searching for, LOGOs for
their kids, and an overwhelmingly warm feeling
of welcome - they never left!
The Ariathurai family, Ken, Lynette, Alex, Natalie
and Shivani have been IPC members for more
than 10 years.
Ken was born in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) to a
Christian mother and a Hindu father, and is the
youngest of seven. He is fluent in Tamil and Sin-
ghalese. At age 16, Ken, his mother and sister
Kala, migrated to the U.S. He graduated from
U.C Davis as a Mechanical Engineer and worked
in Silicon Valley for 24 years before founding his
Engineering Consulting Company, AES. Ken
owns the UPS Store and Aria Printing on Mission
Blvd. in Fremont. He has served as Elder and
Worship Elder at IPC. Golfing helps him to relax.
Lynnette was born in San Jose, and is proud to
be a California native. At four years old she was
placed in a foster home. A year later she was
placed with another family where she lived until
age 16. This is the family she considers to be her
own. Lynnette became a Christian through her
Youth Group at the United Methodist Church in
San Jose. Upon graduating from high school,
she began working as a clerk for a Silicon Valley
high-tech company. Soon thereafter, she met
Ken, who stopped by to meet “the new girl,” and
the rest is history. Lynnette studied at night for
her college degree, and at age 29 entered law
school. She has been a Business and Corporate
Attorney sole practitioner in Fremont for 17 years.
Lynnette has been a very active member of IPC.
Currently she is the Christian Equipping Elder.
Other positions held include Deacon, Missions
member, LOGOs director and VBS coordinator.
She enjoys working with kids, and sharing
Christ’s love. Her mission trips to Mexico and
Brazil, allowed her to help others and witness the
worship of God in other languages. Lynnette has
also been involved with StarStruck Theatre, Mu-
sic for Minors, Fine Arts and Music Education.
