U Matters
In 1 Kings 18: 22, Elijah says, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left…” That is the way I feel about Chinese New Years as so much of the congregation takes off or focuses on their families.
But for those of us around this week, there are some great opportunities for fellowship and worship. I will be preaching Sunday morning on Contentment and Brenna Dykman will begin a series on the prophet Amos at 5PM. Meanwhile, Anto and Hunter have youth events planned for those “left behind." Please join us.
