  2. Next Week Sunday Prayer Meeting (May 31st, 10am): We will have Pastor John Cuddeford (ISMC, UBC FOCUS Club) to share with us his ministry and the struggles of the international students community.

Yet, we can still care for our neighbors through different deeds.  In order to pass on the love and caring that Lord has given us, the Missions Department is recruiting a team to produce reusable masks.  If you are interested and/or if you have any materials you can donate, please contact Becky Hui or Deborah Wong or the church office.
  4. EM Mid-Week: We have online prayer meetings on Wednesday evenings at 8pm. There is a devotional sharing and we will uplift the church body together.  There are also mid-week videos shared by Pastor Will.  Check out the RPG EM Facebook group for any updates: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rpgem/.  In addition, in order to help you engage in worshipping Jesus, sermon details are posted on Saturdays and post-sermon application reflection questions are posted after.
