June 5, 2022
Below are our weekly announcements. Our hope is that announcements are not just for your information, but also for your participation.
In-person Worship – Update
Starting Jun 5, we are removing the capacity limits for our worship services. As a result, you will no longer need to preregister to attend a worship service.
As a way to encourage more people to attend, we ask that you continue to wear a mask while you are inside the church building. We also ask that you self-screen prior to coming in person. If you feel unwell, we ask that you stay at home and worship with us online.
View this presentation that outlines the physical preparation of the church building and safety protocols.
Children’s Ministry – Update
The Children’s Ministry has re-opened In-Person Worship for all ages. Please note that while there are two in-person services (9:45AM; 11:30AM), only the 9:45AM service will be live-streamed.
The nursery / toddler room will also be open from 9:45-11:15AM.

Christian Education: Wisdom Literature – July 2022
Teachers: Grace Gee, Kwan Chan
Dates: Monday (Jul 4, 11, 18, 25, Aug 1)
Time: 7:30-9:00PM
We will be hosting a 5-week online class on Wisdom Literature. The purpose of the class is to help you to better understand the Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. The goal is that you will be able to better hear God’s voice as you read these books.
For each book, we will be providing an overview, tools you can use to grow as a reader, and a time to engage the Biblical texts as a community where you can learn from each other. We encourage you to attend on your own or with someone whom you are currently discipling / mentoring so that you may learn and grow together.
