U Matters

Last week we witnessed the confirmation and baptism of an amazing group of young people. We sang along with a youth band and listened not only to Brenna but some of the young people share the sermon. We are so blessed!

This weekend I am away, officiating at a wedding and attending a reunion of a youth group at my old church in Ohio, USA. God has used these not-so-young-anymore people in strategic ways.  Some day we will be saying the same thing about the young people who led us in worship last week. Thank you Brenna and thank you Youth Group!

Oasis - To Asia, From Christ (The Apocalypse Series)

Wed, 17 Jun, 8:00PM (Refreshments at 7:30PM)

The last book of the New Testament, Revelation or John's Apocalypse, surpasses other NT books for beauty and strangeness. Pastor Matthew will examine Revelation 2-3 (wherein Christ sends letters to seven city churches in Asia). We will discuss in groups: if Christ sent a message to the Hong Kong church, what would he say in an eighth letter to Asia?
