A full house of in-person and online members worshipped together to hear Pastor Jacob preach and to attend the congregational meeting. Pastor Jacob gave a sermon, "In Dust We Plant Our Feet" based on Matthew 9:35-10:14, that was thoughtful and brought in aspects of his visits with the many people who came to meet him prior to Sunday’s service. The music and choir under the direction of Dr. Collin made joyful music. Pastor Jacob’s family, wife Krystal and children Clarice and Eli joined us in worship. Eli played Great Is the Lord , arr. by Mark Hayes, a beautiful piece on the piano, to end the service.
Kathy Triolo, our moderator, led the congregational meeting with confidence and assurance. She thanks the following for lending her their help and expertise: Kelly Garrett, Ellen Carson, Renita Lowe, Jeanne Roberts, Linda Green, Kaye Kroehler, Sam Choi, Dominic Chow, John Rhee, Bill and Judy Kern. She thanks the Congregation dearly for their patience, engagement, involvement, and love.
For some, Sunday was the first time meeting Pastor Jacob and his family. Many others met them during the week leading up to Sunday, both in-person and online, at the varied activities organized by the Search Team who, once again, deserves our deep gratitude: Becca, Earl, Jeanne, Libby, Deissery.
We also thank the Kokua Team (especially to Bill and Judy for filling in for Becca and Kathy T, who were otherwise quite busy), Kathy Maddux’s cooking team for a sustaining and delicious meal, and the nursery crew, led by Elizabeth Grossmann, who kept themselves and the children out of trouble.
