  The Combined choir and bands         What a blessing to have a combined service with 103 people in our four churches!! We were blessed with the combined choir, band, handbell choir, worship dance, puppet show, and sweet fellowship. We are one family in one Spirit! What a blessing to have Pastor Kwan Lee, Helen Woods, and Shirley with us. What a blessing to welcome families we have been praying for a long time.

Thank you for coming and being part of this special day! Personally, it seemed like my family reunion—with the original family in three churches and the new family in Patten!
