Written By Stephen Hosea

Salam dalam damai Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur atas pemeliharaan Tuhan kepada kita dari bulan ke bulan sampai pada bulan September ini; sehingga kita selalu merasakan dan menyaksikan penyertaan Tuhan setiap hari sesuai dengan janji Allah bahwa “Allah sekali-kali tidak akan membiarkan engkau dan Aku sekali-kali tidak akan meninggalkan engkau.” (Ibr 13:5b)

Kita bersyukur bahwa bulan ini gereja kita di Azusa akan merayakan HUT ke-41 pada tanggal 8 September dan gereja kita di San Jose akan merayakan HUT ke-39 pada tanggal 22 September ini. Sungguh Tuhan telah memberkati pelayanan kedua gereja ini dari awal sampai pada hari ini. Tidak akan habis-habisnya jika kita menghitung berkat Tuhan atas gereja-gereja kita di California ini.

Acara gereja kita selanjutnya adalah Thanksgiving Retreat yang akan diadakan pada tgl 28-30 November di Redwood Christian Park, Boulder Creek. Informasi yang detail bisa dilihat dari bulletin gereja kita. Tujuan acara ini adalah untuk menyegarkan dan memupuk pertumbuhan rohani kita agar iman dan pengenalan akan kebenaran semakin teguh dan mendalam. Harap jemaat dapat mengikuti acara ini dan serta mengundang teman-teman untuk mengikuti acara ini.

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati saudara/i sekalian!
