We are partnering with our missionaries, Jonathan and Corinne Long, who are taking van loads of food into Ukraine and also feeding those who make it safely across the border with Hungary.  It costs $4000 to fill a van each day.  Corry First would like to fill a van or hopefully two.  Would you help us meet that goal?  Please mark checks, offering envelopes and online giving with the word “Ukraine”, or place offerings in the blue and yellow box in the foyer.  As always, continue to pray for those who are serving on the border and for the Ukrainians fighting for their freedom.

Young Women’s Discipleship will meet Saturday at 6:00 PM

Combined Service:    We will have a combined Family Sunday service – “New Year – New Life” on Sunday, January 30th at 10:00am.  Following our service, the Youth will have a Soup ‘n Salad Fundraiser. Infant Dedication: We will be having a time of baby dedication to the Lord during our combined service on January 30th, in which parents will make a commitment before the Lord and our church family to raise their child according to God’s Word and God’s ways. If you have an infant (up to age 2) that you would like to be included in this ceremony of dedication, please contact the church office or Pastor Duk Hee.

We will be holding vision meetings and a retreat early this year. This will be a time of renewal, reflection, brainstorming, and vision casting for our church. Everyone, lay leaders, members, and anyone who is interested in seeing what God has in store for us will be asked to participate. During the meetings, we will first study a book, “Simple Church” written by Thom S. Rainer & Eric Geiger for understanding the factors of vital/growing churches. We look forward to sharing more information about our meetings in the coming weeks. For now, please let Pastor Han or Lisa White know if you are interested so that we can order the book for you…
