12/31 Announcement

"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits." (Psalms 103:2)

Let us reflect on and praise God for His abundant grace throughout this year—His forgiveness, healing, redemption, and strengthening. May we never forget His benefits and give Him the glory.

Please pray for the New Year message we will receive this coming Sunday. Pray that P. Juan Seo may prepare well as he delivers the message based on Zechariah 4:6, titled "Not By Might Nor By Power, But By My Spirit."

Pray for the New Year Nehemiah Bible study and messages beginning next week. May God's word guide and renew us as we delve into this book.

On Wednesday, January 1 at 11:00 AM, we will hold our New Year's Day worship service. We hope you can join us as we welcome the new year in worship together. After the service, we will share a meal and fellowship with traditional Korean New Year dishes.

We will not have the Friday meeting this week.

Please mark your calendars and prayerfully prepare for these upcoming events: 

January 10-12, 2025: Young Adult Retreat at Keswick Christian Retreat Center

February 20-22, 2025: North America Staff Conference at LaGuardia Plaza Hotel, New York

April 4-6, 2025: Spring Retreat at Spruce Lake Retreat Center

April 17-20, 2025: Latin America International Conference in Mexico City

July 4-6, 2025: Northeastern Regional Conference at Spruce Lake Retreat Center

Please pray for the North America Staff Conference to be held from February 20-22, 2025, here in New York. Let us pray to serve this conference well as the host.

Please continue to lift our church in prayer to grow as:

a spirit-filled community,

a campus mission-centered church,

a multicultural and multigenerational congregation.

Please remember our coworkers in your prayers including M. Siegmund and M. Andrew Choi: healing for M. Ruth Lim; healing for Becky Song Lee from cancer; full recovery for M. Joseph Han, M. Sarah Kim from post-surgery pain; relief from neck and shoulder pain for M. Grace M. Kang; healing for M. Abigail Lee's sister, who is battling cancer; and prayers for M. Jackie Kim's father and Sh. Yvette Shin's mother.

Thank you for your prayers and dedication. 
May God bless and guide our community as we close the year and prepare for a new one.
