Message: "Draw Near"
Verses: Hebrews 10:10-22
Speaker: Pastor Ben Short

The Old Testament sacrificial system was a religious system with one big lesson: Sin stands as a barrier between us and God. Jesus Christ's death was the once for all sacrifice that dealt with that barrier. The way is now open for us to draw near to God in intimacy. 

The combined service will be in person in the Sanctuary + online via live stream with Chinese subtitles (click below for the link). Please have elements for communion (bread and juice/wine) ready wherever you are joining us from.

If you are joining us in person, we have a children's program provided for ages 3 - 12 years old in Room 207. The Nursery will be open for self-service.

Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed! All are welcome to join us this Easter Sunday for our English Service either in-person or online.

Message: "Death is not the end; a new beginning"
Verses: John 20:1-18
Speaker: Pastor Nathan Sun

Our faith and identity is built on the very foundation of Jesus' death and resurrection. In Christ, the fear of death is not only stripped, but there is power for us to see beyond the grave. The resurrection of Christ marked a new beginning, a new era of life unto eternity for all who trust in him.

As part of the 11am Easter Service, we will be having 1 baptism: Naomi Law.
We will also be acknowledging our membership transfers: Gary Li, Anna So, Ying-Chiu Chan, and Kristen Law.

Assistance Service Dogs
Due to questions that have been asked lately as to whether dogs and all types of pets are able to be brought into the church building, the staff has discussed this and has considered the various viewpoints -- whether it be people who are allergic to or afraid of dogs and pets...to the whole issue of maintenance and cleanliness.

As such, the decision is to have all pets remain outside of the church building with the exception of assistance dogs, guide dogs, or service dogs that are properly trained and identified as such with a jacket, and on a leash.

There are certain areas that are assigned for these assistance service dogs to be with their owners while they are inside the building. For example, if they are in the sanctuary during the worship service, the left balcony area is assigned for them. If the owner is visually impaired with a guide dog, then the handicap area at the back on the main floor is assigned. If you have any questions at all regarding this, please contact our church staff for further information. Thank you so much for your kind understanding and cooperation.
