No Services on Dec. 28th

Sorry, but many people are unavailable on Sunday, Dec. 28th.  See you in 2009!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Celebration

Pastor Chris read part of Luke chapter 2 for us yesterday, reminding us that one person can make a difference.  Perhaps someone asked on the night that baby Jesus was born - anything new going on in Bethlehem?  Oh, nothing much, I did hear a woman had a baby in a small barn out back.  What seemed so insignificant then, has meant so much for the world.  Jesus came to seek and save the lost.  He is the mighty Savior.  

Two turkeys!!  We had a wonderful potluck yesterday!  Great friends and conversations, and food!

Celebrate Christmas!

Join us Dec. 21st at 4 pm to celebrate the birth of a special baby!!

Then on Dec. 28th we will not have any services. So see you Dec. 21st and not again until 2009!

New friends Helen and Ala liked playing with baby Amanda today at the November potluck.
Doritoes, pumpkin pie and whipped cream, and tuna sandwiches - - a good variety - yum!
Chicken, duck, sweet potatoes with marshmallow, rice vegie casserole - also yum!

Pastor Chris preached on giving thanks - expressing it to God and to one another.  

God has a plan for us

Pastor Chris preached from his favorite book of the Bible - Jeremiah.  

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 29:12  

Church potluck

Beanie weinies, fish ball vegetable stew, do hwa, bbq pork, tofu and onions, apple cobbler, ... all part of yesterday's church potluck... hopefully a monthly event --- trying for every third Sunday -- call Pastor Chris for details.  

Yesterday Michael preached about Luke 19 and Zaccheus.  Friendship is the motivation for evangelism, not only the method.  Through our getting to know people is how they can see Christ in us.  We also need to be ready to share how Christ has changed us.  

After dinner, Mei-Mei had fun posing.  :)  

BBQ

Just a little note to say "thank you" to everyone for helping out today. There was plenty of food and fellowship. I sincerely hope that everyone had a great time. I know I did. I appreciate everyone that comes and worships with us. You truly are a blessing to me.

Will put up some pics as soon as possible!
