Salam dalam anugerah Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan atas anugerahNya sehingga kita dapat merayakan HUT ke-40 pada 20 September yang lalu. Segala kemuliaan kita kembali kepada Tuhan, karena Ia telah melakukan pekerjaan yang baik pada hari pertama gereja kita mulai sampai pada hari ini. Dan kita yakin Ia akan meneruskannya sampai pada hari kedatangan-NYa.

Gereja akan mengadakan Thanksgiving Luncheon pada tanggal 22 November dengan tema “Glorifying God with Thanksgiving (Muliakanlah Allah dengan Ucapan Syukur)”, bertempat di Resham Event Center, 3101 Walnut Avenue, Fremont, CA. 94538. Pembicaranya adalah Rev. Daniel Gilham.

Tujuan acara ini adalah untuk menaikan ucapan syukur kepada Tuhan dalam rangka merayakan Hari Thanksgiving  serta menjangkau jiwa-jiwa yang baru kepada Tuhan. Harap jemaat dapat memakai kesempatan ini mengundang teman-teman untuk mengikuti acara ini.  

Pemazmur mengingatkan kita, “Siapa yang mempersembahkan syukur sebagai korban, ia memuliakan Aku”. (Mazmur 50:23).

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati pelayanan saudara-saudari sekalian!
