We’ve experienced a miracle. It’s true! Last week, CCUMC was approached by a neighbor from Chinese Christian Truth Church to help out in an emergency situation. We responded by opening our doors to 57 children, kindergarten through 5th grade, on Thursday and Friday so that they would have a safe and positive place to go after school. On Sunday, the Board of Administration & Trustees (BOAT) discerned and voted to keep our doors open to these children through the remainder of the school year (till June 17th).
Why is this a miracle, you ask? Because we have been longing to open wide our doors to the community just beyond our gates and put the gift of our buildings to good use…and God answered our prayers. And because we have been longing to connect with children, youth and young folks…and God answered our prayers. Monday through Friday for the next 5 weeks, you are invited to stop by between 3:00 and 5:30 p.m. to witness the miracle! CCUMC Homework Club is now in full swing.
Great thanks to the prayerful discernment of BOAT on behalf of the whole church. Please keep us all in prayer as we walk by faith on this adventure. It’s not clear what might happen next, but we know that God is with us!
If you have any questions about the Homework Club, please do not hesitate to connect with Pastor Emily, Vince Wong, Steve Chan or other BOAT members.
P.S. Could this have anything to do with catching fire?
