English Ministry News and Notes 2017-12-2

*What's Your Story? Adults will gather to read and reflect on Russell Jeung's spiritual memoir, At Home in Exile, even as we consider our own stories of life and faith. Gather at 9:30 a.m. in the Annex for a time of rich reflection and Spirit-prompted growth.
*Pick It Up Pauses - Great thanks for all who participated in our first two "Pick It Up Chinatown" efforts. Due to upcoming conflicts with our own schedule (Lent, Mother's Day, HC Family Day Party, etc.) we will pause our participation until the summer.  
*Lent is Right Around the Corner - Ash Wednesday kicks off the season of Lent on Mar. 1st. We will gather for a reflective time of worship at 7:00 p.m. We will hold “SOUP Lite” this year following worship each Sunday (a time for nourishing bowls of soup with intentional conversation and prayer.) Soup makers are sought for each week starting Mar. 5th! Please sign up today! Thank you.
*Save the Date - Sunday, Mar. 26th at 2:00 p.m. Russell Jeung presents: "Following Jesus in a Trump Empire: One Asian American Christian Perspective." Invite community circles and friends! All proceeds from his book sale go to refugee ministries.
*2nd Annual Kumi Benefit Ride & Walk, Apr. 29th - Commit now to ride, walk, or volunteer! Reach out to your circles to raise funds for capital needs of KCVS. All donations made by Apr. 1st will be doubled by a generous matching grant! Let’s do this!
