Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 |

PRAISE POINTS
We thank God for bringing brothers and sisters with accounting expertise from other churches to help us. Our offering records and accounting system are now fully computerized. This has made the treasurer’s job much easier and resolved the financial confusion we faced in the past. Best of all, this system was provided free of charge. We are grateful for God’s guidance in bringing in a new administrative board this year. They have been proactive in sharing ideas in meetings and are fully dedicated to the growth of the church.

We thank God for the many new friends who have joined our worship services over the past few months, especially during the Lunar New Year celebrations. Some have come from other churches, while others have not yet known the Lord.

PRAYER POINTS
Please pray for the swift cleaning and renovation of the two properties next to the church. We hope to finish by the end of May. Pray for wisdom in planning outreach activities and other church ministries once the space is ready.
Please pray for our new board members. Since accepting their roles, some have faced sudden changes in their family’s health or their professional lives. Pray that these challenges will not dampen their passion for serving.
Pray that our congregation learns how to continue caring for newcomers so they feel welcome to stay. We also pray for our elderly members—that God would give them focus and continue to use them effectively during their golden years.
