ALL CHURCH

6/14/2026

Praise God for blessing our 40th anniversary celebration last Sunday: We thank God for His presence and blessings, with 625 brothers and sisters attending the Combined Worship Service. Afterward service, each person received a 40th anniversary gift and enjoyed a delicious lunch. We thank every brother and sister who served both on and off stage, and pray that God will richly bless them. May God lead the church press toward His vision (Philippians 3:12-14).

Baptism Sunday: Praise the Lord!  A total of 41 brothers and sisters will receive baptism this Sunday (5 from the Cantonese Congregation, 22 from the Mandarin Congregation, and 14 from the House of Abundance Campus).  May the Lord bless each baptized brother and sister to faithfully follow and serve Him throughout their lives! 

Youth Retreat: 6/12-14 (Friday - Sunday) at Pepperdine University with 68 participants.  Praise the Lord, 5 students received baptism on Saturday 6/13 at the beach. Glory be to God!

6/21 Father’s Day Sunday: We have prepared a small gift for fathers this coming Sunday to thank and honor all the fathers and brothers for their contribution to their families.  Let us lift up our brothers in prayer; that they may abide in Father’s love and be empowered as the spiritual heads of their families.  

Church APA (A Place for All) Project: This project includes: (1) Renovation to the dining hall, kitchen, men’s and women’s restrooms in the basement. (2) Installation of a new elevator to connect the basement, ground floor and the second floor of the classroom building. (3) Construction of a canopy over the courtyard.  The entire project is estimated at $1.97 million, and we have currently raised $352,538.50. Vision: Given God’s entrustment of the church to fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations, the favorable location to serve CHILDREN, YOUTH, FAMILIES, SENIORS AND VULNERABLE PEOPLE through education and community services, and to facilitate COLLABORATED KINGDOM MINISTRIES for the advancement of God’s kingdom and glory, the church plans to actively complete this site renovation project this year. We invite brothers and sisters to count the abundant grace they have received from God in the past, and actively participate in intercessory prayer and giving for the project. Please make checks payable to "FECSGV" with the remarks "APA Project". For credit card giving, please go to the church's giving website and select "APA Project". (details see the attached insert).
