Honor thy Father and Mother

It is no surprise that there is a special day in which we honor our Mothers and Fathers, but as Christians we are commanded by God to honor thy Father and Mother. Well as a church we did just that in the month of May and June.

For Mother’s, we had a Mother’s Day Banquet in May. The men of the church had the pleasure of serving the women of the church. Ed Maxwell gave a wonderful concert and each woman in attendance received a rose.

 

For Father’s, we had a BBQ. Every father in attendance received a special gift that reminds them to be the Man that God created them to be Everyone had a blast at these events and we had great turn outs. We had about 25 people for both events.

Independence Day Celebration

On July 3, we hosted our biggest outreach event of the year, our Annual Independence Day Celebration. Each year we have a church wide BBQ complete with fireworks. Our BBQ consists of 1/2 lb All-beef Hamburger Patties, 1/2 lb All-beef Foot-long hot dogs, regular hot dogs and 2lb Baked Potatoes. Our fireworks display took place at dusk and lasted about 15 minutes. We had about 125 people in attendance.

This event was also used as a kick-off to our Vacation Bible School. We gave parents the opportunity to pre-register their children for Vacation Bible School.

Easter 2013

Easter is the time of year when we remember what Jesus did for us. The pain he went through so that could have eternal life.

This Easter Sunday we had 90 people in attendance. We were blessed to have two sermons given. One was a musical sermon presented by Sweet Tidings Band, a local Gospel Band. The other was an inspiring sermon given by Pastor Rosenberg.

Gospel Concert: Restored Trio

On March 15, we had the opportunity to be inspired by Restored Trio, a Southern Gospel Group. It was an awesome night. We can't wait to have them join us again.

Restored Trio is a family-oriented and ministry-minded singing group. They have a song to sing and a message to be heard-- especially now in the day and age in which we live. As a group they know that there are a lot of hurting people who needs to be uplifted and with the Lords help it’s our goal as a group to see lives changed and people touched through our ministry.

"Be The Light" Missionary Convention 2013

Our Annual Missionary Convention is a one of the most important events of the year. This year's them was "Be the Light." 

Our convention kicked off on Sunday. February 10 with an inspiring message from Rev. Tuy, a Cambodian Pastor who is well informed about the Lord’s work through the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination. The Christian and Missionary Alliance is celebrating 90 years of missionary service in Cambodia this year. 

The week continued as we hosted an American Missionary couple from Russia and the Ukraine. Mr. and Mrs. Hope were with us for four days. They shared with us about Family life, Food, relationships, history of the Ukraine, church services and about their ministry in Russia and the Ukraine for the past 19 years. 

 We had a  wonderful Valentine’s Pot Luck banquet,  a Fellowship breakfast and three other inspiring services. As a church we took a step of faith and pledged $10,000 as our  Missionary Faith pledge for 2013.  As of March 17, 2013, we have contributed $1,803. 

Below is a collage of pictures from our Missionary Convention. 

United in Christ

“I have given them the glory that you have gave me, that they may be one as we are one.”

John 17:22

We now have three different ethnic Christian and  Missionary Alliance (C&MA) churches meeting on the same property. This is a rare occurrence anywhere in the United States. On February 3rd, 2013, all three churches came together for a Communion-Unity Service. We gathered not  as an English congregation, Spanish congregation or Cambodian churches, but as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. We had special music for each church in their own language, each Pastor gave an inspiring mini-sermon and we remembered what Christ did for us on that cross many years ago. Five new members were welcomed in to the C&MA. This is the most  members received at one time in the last 15 years. After the worship service, our Cambodian brothers and sisters treated us to an authentic  Cambodian lunch. This service was a spirit-filled inspiring service. 

Our full sanctuary during the service we had 122 people in attendance.
