Lunch Fellowship: Although we are having a joint service, we won’t have a lunch-fellowship today. Instead, everyone will participate in the Sunday School after the service. Our monthly lunch fellowship is scheduled for the next Sunday.
Sunday School & Catechism: The baptismal candidates will have their fourth session in the nursery today. Some volunteers are needed to set up the tables and chairs. All the candidates are strongly encouraged to prepare for their baptism with constant prayers since there will be a lot of spiritual resistance. Others, both adults and children, will have their own Bible study in the fellowship room under the leadership of Zack and Manny. Today’s study topic is “Historical Evidence of Christ’s Deity (2).” All Khmai congregation will remain in the main sanctuary for their own Sunday school. The catechism for the Khmai candidates will be held sometime between the time of Sothy’s return and March 16, 2013.
On-going Joint Services: While pastor Sothy is in Cambodia, our church will continuously have joint services.
Mar 03: Joint Service at 10 AM + Potluck Lunch
Mar 10: Joint Service at 10 AM + Sunday School
Mar 17: Back to two separate service system
Baptism Service: We finalized the date and place. The service will be held on March 16, 2013, Saturday, 5 PM at Walnut Hill Community Church. This way, we will be able to accommodate the Khmai candidates and Pastor Sothy; and our schedule will not conflict with that of Walnut Hill. The entire church is strongly encouraged to attend the service to bless the candidates and to renew their faith in Jesus.
Lent: We are in the middle of Lent, the 40 day period of the liturgical year leading up to Easter. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Please pray that we will please the Lord more than ever throughout this year’s Lent and Easter. This year’s Easter falls on March 31.
Prayer Meeting: Sunday 9:10 AM, Main Sanctuary. Our church runs on prayer!
