Technical Difficulties
We have been making upgrades and changes to our equipment, hardware, WiFi, and streaming platforms recently. As with all technology, it takes time to adjust and accommodate different components and connections and have them working well in our facility. Sorry for some of the hiccups you have been experiencing!
For the English services, due to issues with platforms, we will stop sharing the Facebook stream on Zoom. Instead, please continue to meet and greet on Zoom but view the services directly on Facebook.
 Please be patient with us as we continue to improve the viewing environment. Many thanks to our technology people behind the scenes!

Spreading Joy to Our Preschoolers at Sonbeams
Our Sonbeams teachers (Angela Lew, Teena Low, and Ellen Lee), along with a little help from Betty too, are planning something different over the next few weeks! Instead of formal lessons, they delivered holiday cheer to our SonBeams families (small holiday care packages) and will be sending out worksheets and a Christmas video. Lessons will resume on Sunday, January 17. Enjoy your holidays!

KCA Outreach
1. Blessing KCA families and Lafayette Elementary School Staff: Thank you for your donations to bless our KCA families and Lafayette staff this Christmas! Please continue to pray for God's blessings for our staff and KCA families. Take a look at all the care packages!
2. Zoom Sessions: We are scheduling special activities over the Christmas break to maintain our connection with our kids as well as help them connect with each other. As distance learning continues into the new year, please pray for us as we seek God's direction to minister effectively to and meet the needs of our KCA families.
3. Volunteering: Do you have a talent you would like to share with our children from KCA and our church families? The activity can be short, anywhere from five to fifteen minutes, and can be shared over Zoom. As we start the new year, this would be a wonderful opportunity to connect with the children in our community. Please contact Ann Kawauchi for more information.
