Written By Stephen Hosea

Salam dalam damai sejahtera Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur atas pimpinan dan perlindungan Tuhan sehingga kita bisa masuk ke dalam bulan Oktober dengan penuh anugrah Tuhan.

Sebagaimana kita telah mengetahui bahwa awal bulan depan akan diadakan Pemilu di Amerika Serikat. Kami yakin sebagian jemaat akan mengambil bagian untuk memilih calon Presiden, anggota Kongres, anggota Senat, Walikota / Bupati dan lain-lain untuk tahun-tahun yang akan datang. Kita berdoa agar Pemilu ini bisa berjalan dengan aman dan adil; dan Tuhan memberikan kebijaksanaan kepada kita untuk memilih pemimpin-peminpin yang dapat memimpin negera ini dengan baik serta Propositions yang bermanfaat untuk rakyat Amerika.

Gereja akan mengadakan Thanksgiving Retreat pada tanggal 28-30 November dengan tema: A Reason For The Hope, di Redwood Christian Park di Boulder Creek, California. Pembicaranya adalah Pdt. Jonathan Lowijaya, Pdt. Hengky Chiok, Pastor Daniel Gilham dan Virginia Lin. Untuk informasi yang detail bisa melihat berita di bulletin gereja atau di link /events/2024-iec-retreat. Harap jemaat dapat bertumbuh dalam rohani dalam retreat ini dan dapat mengajak teman-teman untuk mengikuti acara ini.

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati pelayanan dan keluarga saudara!

Pdt. Stephen Hosea
