If this is your first time for Sunday Service, this is the great opportunity for you to experience, and there are children services as well.
3. This week I like to share a gospel song by Celine Dion with Josh Groban, "The Prayer". The song has been posted on our fellowship website. Click to listen/view:
The lyrics says:
"I pray You’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go, and help us to be wise in times when we don’t know. Let this be our prayer when we lose our way: Lead us to a place, Guide us with Your grace To a place where we’ll be safe."
There is another song called "You raised me up" by Josh Groban on our website as well. You may listen as well.
4. There is Awana program this Friday, please check in your children between 7:30 to 7:45pm.
God Bless all of our families,
