Happy Father’s Day! 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 the Father’s love and be empowered as the spiritual leader of

When
Will We Reopen Our In-Person Sunday Services? On May 26, the County of Los Angeles Health
Officer issued a Revised Order, under which, attending in-person faith-based
services is now permitted but with strict restrictions. Our Elder Board has
decided, for many important reasons, that our church, including HOA, will be
patient and wait for better conditions before resuming our in-person Sunday
services. Details please read our Senior Pastor’s letter to our Church Family
on May 28, which is on our church’s website.
