THANKSGIVING
Praise and thanks be to God that our sister Patty (Dan) has completed the chemotherapy portion of treatment and had a successful surgery this past week! She is recovering comfortably and wishes to thank everyone for our prayers and words of encouragement over the past seven months. Please continue to pray for Patty as she undergoes the next phases of the treatment.
IN LOVING MEMORY
Our dear sister Lorraine Kimura went Home to be with God on June 29. Lorrie was a committed member of our church family active in Sunday School, VBS, and food programs. Even after her stroke in 2018, she frequently attended service on Sundays.
Lorrie was known for her quiet and kind demeanor who always radiated joy in whatever she did and to all she met.
Her Celebration of Life is on August 8 at 11:00AM on what would have been her 88th birthday. Please RSVP to Theresa Yip at mrsyippy@icloud.com by August 1st. HERE's the flyer with information on the event.
MAHJONG FELLOWSHIP
Our next Mahjong Fellowship will be on August 11 (Tuesday), 6:00-9:00PM @ the Gym. Contact Patty at (916) 591-5253 or pfongdds@gmail.com.
Don't know how to play but want to learn? We'll be on hand to teach and mentor. If you have a mahjong or card table and/or Chinese mahjong tiles that you can bring to share, please let us know. If you'd like to bring snacks to share, much appreciated!
