In Memory
Our beloved brother, Stephen Kwok, went to be with the Lord on February 18, 2003. He was 55, and is survived by his wife, Alice, and two children, Nathaniel and Nerissa.

May our Lord comfort them in very special ways.

Building Project Update
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! The building is finally completed! We finally obtained the Occupancy Permit on May 25, 2010 at 9:30am. With the permit in hand, we have already started the “move”. Our tentative move-in schedule is to use the new classrooms upstairs beginning the first week of June for fellowships on Friday and Sunday school on Sunday. We will wait until the second week of July to have an in-house celebration and Ordination of Pastor Peter (pending on the approval of the church in June’s Business meeting). We will wait to have the Church Dedication on October 3. At which time, we will also celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Hope you will join us for this special occasion. May the Lord be glorified throughout all these events.
Congratulations!
