Happy Fall 2022

Written By Stephen Hosea

Salam dalam damai sejahtera Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan bahwa kita dapat mengadakan Study Tour ke Mesir, Israel dan Jordania pada tanggal 23 Oktober sampai 5 November tahun ini. Sejak pandemik Covid-19, kita harus menunda rencana sampai pada bulan ini. Kita berdoa agar semua peserta yang berjumlah 34 orang dapat berangkat dan kembali dari trip ini dengan sehat dan kuat, dan dapat menambah banyak pengetahuan mereka tentang Alkitab.

Gereja akan mengadakan Thanksgiving Dinner pada hari Jumat, tanggal 25 November, jam 5 sore di Restoran Pearl Bay, Fremont, CA dengan tema “Melimpah Dalam Syukur”. Acaranya adalah persembahan solo/duet/vokal grup, permainan dan undian berhadiah. Pembicara adalah Rev.Matthew Blevins. Biayanya $40.00 (12 tahun ke atas) dengan 10 macam makanan, sudah termasuk subsidi gereja $20.00. Anak-anak $14.00 (4 - 11 tahun) termasuk subsidi gereja $6.00 dan gratis untuk 3 tahun ke bawah (duduk bersama orang tua). Pendaftaran bisa dilakukan online melalui http://bit.ly/IEC-ThanksgivingDinner atau kepada Tommy Sutedja, David Widjaja, Tien Nugroho, dan Tiffany Kertatama.

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati pelayanan dan keluarga saudara!
