Midweek: Wednesday June 29th

Worship in the Park

Though there were thunderstorm at 2AM, we had a quite good weather for outdoor worship in the park. It was very lovely that the two churches gathered together to worship one God because we are one family in Christ. Some photos were taken (by pastor Je) and you can see them at the link below:

Dishes Are All Gone

As you can see when you come to church on Sunday, the old church dishes, plates, and bowls are all gone.

Church Facebook

Do you know that the church has a facebook page? You can like us so that you can automatically get the updates when you log into the facebook. Please visit the link below:

Secretary Got Surgery

Our dear secretary, Gretel, had a Sinus Reconstruction Surgery last Friday. The surgery went well and Gretel is recovering but still having pain. Please keep her in your prayer. Since Gretel is on Medical leave this week, Teresa Brannon is doing the works in the church office at the regular office hour of Monday-Friday 9AM-1PM. Pastor Je will work on the Sunday worship bulletin, and it may not have the same quality. Gretel’s leave is until Tuesday, July 5th.

Contact Info Update & Photo Directory

Please update your contact information if anything has changed. If not, you may still contact the church office to confirm if the church has your correct information. Pastor Je is also planning to make a photo directory. Pastor Je may take your (unprofessional and amateur) photo at or around the church, or you can submit your own (professional or best) photo yourself. The photo must be taken less than three years. Don’t bring a twenty years old photo. :-)

Preschool Break & Renovation

The Preschool will be on Summer Break next week. During the break, there will be renovation works at church building by the preschool (using the grant money which they got). There is some possibility that the church may (or may not) be noisy and dusty next week.

Join the Group: Worship Planning Team

If you would like to improve the worship experience for all who worship with us on Sundays, please join the Worship Planning Team. Contact pastor Je or Lisa Hutcheson to join.

Join the Group: Church Website Renovation

Pastor Je would like to improve and renovate the church website (which is good but we can make it better). Pastor Je desperately needs your opinion and help. Please contact pastor Je or Neal Crouse to join.

Sunday Worship

On coming Sunday, we will worship at our usual place—Sanctuary of our church. There will be Communion since it is the first Sunday of the month. And there will be fellowship after the worship service at the back of the sanctuary from the coming Sunday and on. The Scriptures for the coming Sunday worship are:

OT Reading: Isaiah 34:16-17 (CEB)

Consult the Lord’s scroll and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
none will lack its mate.
God’s own mouth has commanded;
God’s own spirit has gathered them.
God has cast the lot for them;
God’s hand allotted it to them with the measuring line.
They will possess it forever;
they will live in it from generation to generation.

NT Reading: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realise what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Welcome Back Neal & Debbie Crouse

Neal & Debbie Crouse came back from their epic trip to Ireland. We are all looking forward to hearing from them about their trip.

101: Thou Shalt Doubt (Sunday, June 12th, 2022)

Image
OT Lesson: Judges 6:33-40 (CEB) Some time later, all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other easterners joined together, came over, and set up camp in the Jezreel Valley. Then the Lord’s spirit came over Gideon, and he sounded the horn and summoned the Abiezrites to follow him. He sent messengers into all of Manasseh, and they were also summoned to follow him. Then he sent messengers into Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali too, and they marched up to meet them. But then Gideon said to God, “To see if you really intend to rescue Israel through me as you have declared, I’m now putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece but all the ground is dry, then I’ll know that you are going to rescue Israel through me, as you have declared.” And that is what happened. When he got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung out enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me, but let me speak j...

Walk with Me

OT Lesson: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 (CEB) When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Walk with Me and be trustworthy. I will make a covenant between Us and I will give you many, many descendants.” Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, “But Me, My covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations. And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham. I will make you very fertile. I will produce nations from you, and kings will come from you. I will set up My covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants’ God after you. God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you will no longer call her Sarai. Her name will now be Sarah. I will bless her and even give you a son from her. I will bless her so that she will become nations, and kings of peoples will come from her.” NT Lesson: Roman...

God Doesn't Care

OT Lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 (CEB) On this mountain, the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples a rich feast, a feast of choice wines, of select foods rich in flavour, of choice wines well refined. He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples, the shroud enshrouding all nations. He will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe tears from every face; He will remove His people’s disgrace from off the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken. They will say on that day, “Look! This is our God, for whom we have waited— and He has saved us! This is the Lord, for whom we have waited; let’s be glad and rejoice in His salvation!” NT Lesson: Mark 16:1-8 (NRSV) When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another,  ...
