Lanterns

Traditionally the Lunar New Year celebrations are from New Year’s Day (Feb. 12) until Lantern Festival (Feb. 26).  People continue to extend new year wishes to each other during this time, especially the first time that they meet.

The main street of our town is adorned with lanterns that shine each evening during this celebration period.

The eye, and people’s attention is drawn towards the light. Our prayer is that they will also be drawn to the Light of the World, Jesus.

Praise and Prayer

• Charlie was called to his heavenly home last Tuesday morning.  Please pray for comfort for his elderly parents and family.  The church will participate in the funeral service on Feb. 27.  (The family service following traditional religious practices starts at 6:30 AM.  The church-led celebration of life will be 7:30~8:00 AM.)  
• Month-end is always a busy time for us.  In addition to church ministries, there is also the administrative work related to finances.  Please pray we stay healthy.  There is a very contagious flu going through the community.
