*Great thanks to all those who participated in yesterday’s (Saturday) efforts to "Respond to Disaster with Love & Prayer." We had a wonderful team of folks providing inspirational music reminding us of God’s great love and compassion as well as a team inviting the Chinatown community to give financially and in prayer. We also had a great crew of behind the scenes folk, especially Ben Wong, who ensured we pulled the day off technically. Special thanks to Burt and
Yvonne who visioned this effort of invitation and witness.
*GBGM Missionary to Cambodia at CCUMC, April 15th – Church family and friends are invited to hear the first-hand missionary experiences of Ken Cruz, who is currently serving in Cambodia as part of the United Methodist General Board of Global Minstries. Ken’s expertise is in Community Development, and he describes his servant-leadership role as “meeting the needs of people as they work in accomplishing their jobs.” His work is part of CHAD: Commmunity Health and Agricultural Development.
We will begin with a light supper at 6:00 PM in the educational annex, and then hear Ken’s stories through pictures and sharing. Plan on an enlightening evening. There is no cost for attending, but a Love Offering will be taken to support the Conference Missionary Itineration Fund. Please sign up at church or let Pastor Emily know if you will attend.
Also, a host is needed to house Ken for one night (4/15) immediately following the event, so please let Pastor Emiloy know if you’d like to share hospitality in this way.
*EM Congregational Meeting – The community is warmly invited to gather for a 45 minute conversation following worship on Palm Sunday, April 17th. This time will precede SOUP II. This will be an important time to hear about the ministry goals and plans for 3 ministry areas: Congregational Nurture & Development, Invitation & Witness, as well as Missions. Your presence is much needed and appreciated!
