Back from Sabbatical, Prayer, PACKHOPE Event (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/3)

Thank you all for your prayers during my Sabbatical. It was good to take a break. And I had a good visit with my mom and started the process to get her some help.

During my Sabbatical, I got confirmation on next year's church theme already. The theme will be on Prayer. We need to get back to prayer...individual prayer, family prayer, and corporate prayer in the church. Jesus said that His church should be a house of prayer. To prepare ourselves, we're going to have prayer and fasting during the week of 12/2. Each day we'll be fasting from something different and it will culminate with a prayer rally on that Friday evening. More details to come.

Speaking of prayer, Our next Church-Wide Prayer Gathering will be Tuesday, 11/5, from 7-8pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. You can submit your prayer requests on the church website. We also have Prayer & Testimony Service on Wednesday, 11/6, from 6-7pm.


Please join us for our PACKHOPE Event on 11/16. We'll be packing 60,000 seeds for people around the world. There are three different sessions you can register for:
  • 9:00am – 11am 
  • 12:00pm-2:00pm 
  • 2:30pm-4:30pm 
If you are unable to attend or you if you have the means to support us, please provide a charitable donation towards the purchase of seeds.
