English Ministry News and Notes 2014-9-13

Thank you to all who participated yesterday at our Church Work Day! There were many chores that needed to be done to insure that our building remains a welcoming space and a vital outpost for ministry.  "Many hands make light work!"

The Middle School Group will be having a GAME NIGHT at church on Friday, September 19, from 7:30pm to 9pm. Bring a friend and a board game to share. Adults are welcome to join in the fun!

2014 has been a momentous year for our Uganda Mission, as the school, which we have been constructing for more than 5 years, opened its doors for instruction in February! We will be sharing firsthand stories of our 2014 trip to the village of Kumi at our Annual Benefit Dinner, which is slated for Friday, October 24th, just 6 weeks away! We hope you and your friends will join us for this 5th Annual Gala, held at Restaurant Peony in Oakland. Please get your reservations in ASAP, and we promise you won't be disappointed. The evening includes an 8-course Chinese Banquet, a Silent Auction, and a Village Crafts Market. Visit www.ycvm.org for more information and online ticket purchasing. Tickets can also be purchased in-person from Becky Wong. Join us as we "Touch the Heavens and Change the Earth!"

Our Silent Auction for this event is now accepting your pledge of (new) goods or services. Please connect with Peggy or Donna if you are planning to donate. Items can be brought to church beginning October 5th!
