Carpe Diem! Seize the day! In many respects I feel that is what we have done in the last 8 weeks of in-person worship.
During this time we offered new opportunities like Recreate! open art studio and a new 12:45 worship service, as well as, Men’s and Ladies ‘Dinners’; a Staff and Leaders Retreat; Kindness Walks; collection and distribution of gifts to St Barnabas' Society and Home; Baptism and Installation services; Connecting Lunches; Recharge; Youth Group; Young Adult Ministries; Book Club; Small Groups; Stewardship series with guest speakers; Youth and Children's Church; pre-recording of the Youth band and the Children's Christmas Musical; and our annual Missions Fair featuring many of our Missions partners (eg HK Christian Kun Sun prison ministry, Crossroads, YWAM, International China Concern [ICC], International Care Ministries [ICM], Sons & Daughters, The Hong Kong Church Network for the Poor, and Flourishing Future Mongolia).
And now we re-group and prepare for online worship services and the Youth Christmas Banquet (in individual homes). These are challenging times, but we are overcomers!
Fear Not - we bring good news! This Sunday we celebrate the second Sunday of Advent. We hope you will join us online as we worship together at 9:45am and 11:15am. There will be an online coffee hour at 10:45am if you would like to get connected. Additionally, if you have not picked up an Advent candle or devotional, please stop by the office.
"But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.” Luke 2:10
May there be Peace on Earth, Pastor Michele
