Lydia has been praying about what we should focus on this summer at the Pearl. It became clear that God put it on her heart to focus on the spiritual disciplines of Prayer and Bible Study. There will be several people speaking this summer: Lydia, Campbell, Haydee, Dr. Timothy Chang (Dan’s Dad) and maybe a couple of others. It should be an awesome time for us to work on these disciplines that will help us grow stronger in our knowledge of God and connection to God.

I personally want to thank the members of the worship team for stepping up and giving us all a look into their hearts. It was so great to hear from each member and learn a little bit about how they connect with God through worship music. Their committment to leading us every week is very much appreciated and God has really blessed them with amazing talent.–Chris

If you offered to give (financially or stuff) at last weeks service we encourage you to bring in your offerings so that we can start to meet people’s needs. If you offered services we will keep your name on file in the event that those services are needed and we will contact you. We are also passing on all prayer requests to our prayer people. It was an awesome thing to see people step up to help in their faith community. Let’s keep working at being a family in this city.

Last Tuesday 2 of our small groups (The women’s Peace group and men’s War group) got together and had an awesome time of fellowship, food and games. The guys were able to enjoy some of the women’s fabulous cooking. We were also very privileged to have 2 of the Doulos team attend and share with us some interesting facts about living on the ship.
D=Doulos! (although some are backwards!) Small groups are sooo encouraging!
