2025 CHURCH THEME

Our church theme for next year is “Living Together in Unity” from Psalm 133:1. We hope that brothers and sisters will pursue this in their lives and ministry, seeing the goodness of being unified in Christ.

2025 CHURCH CALENDAR

Our 2025 church calendar has been published on the church website here!

CHURCH PARKING

As more people return for in-person services, we kindly ask for brothers and sisters to take advantage of the free parking on the street. This way, we can save the church parking lot for guests, elderly, families with young children, or others who need easier access to the building.

DISPOSAL OF LUNCH BOXES

To follow government regulations for composting food waste, the church is implementing a waste reduction and classification system. In order to correctly classify waste, the church trash cans will no longer be for food waste (including beverage cups and cans). We kindly ask that you use reusable lunch boxes which you can take home to clean or, if you use disposable lunch boxes, to take those home and dispose of it yourself. Keeping the church clean requires everyone’s participation; please also kindly remind each other from time to time. Thank you so much for your cooperation!
