Salam dalam damai sejahtera Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan bahwa piknik gereja kita pada tgl 22 Agustus di Elizabeth Park, Fremont berjalan dengan sukacita dan indah. Kita semua sangat menikmati Persekutuan yang manis dan rukun dialam terbuka seperti yang dikatakan Mazmur 133:1 “Sungguh, alangkah baiknya dan indahnya, apabila saudara-saudara diam bersama dengan rukun!”. Saya harap persekutuan sesama jemaat kita semakin intim dan kuat untuk membangun pekerjaan Tuhan di Bay Area ini.

Gereja kita saat ini sedang mempersiapkan program family fellowship dan youth fellowship untuk membangun pertumbuhan rohani mereka dalam pengetahuan dan iman mereka kepada Tuhan. Kami berdoa agar Tuhan memberkati rencana program ini agar melalui program ini, gereja kita bisa  semakin bertumbuh dalam kuantitas dan kualitas.

Acara gereja kita pada akhir tahun ini yang kita mulai persiapkan adalah acara Thanksgiving Luncheon dan acara Natal. Kita harap melalui kedua acara yang besar ini, kita akan menjangkau teman-tema kita yang baru kepada Tuhan. Kami harap jemaat bisa mendukung acara-acara ini dalam doa pribadi saudara.

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati pelayanan dan keluarga saudara.
