A Word From the Pastor, Reverend, Daeil Min

Dear Church Family,

As the leaves turn and November brings us closer to Thanksgiving, I find myself thinking about the countless ways we experience God's grace in this community. Grace shows up in our worship, in laughter shared over coffee, in the care we offer one another during hard times, and even in the quiet moments when we pause to notice how much we've been given.

This month, we begin a new sermon series and stewardship journey called "Transformed by Grace: Living Generously in a Grateful Heart." It's more than a financial campaign—it's a spiritual invitation. We'll explore what it means to be stewards of God's gifts: not only our money, but also our time, our talents, our relationships, and even our daily choices. Everything we have, and everything we are, belongs to God.  Throughout November, we'll walk through four stories of transformation:

Called by Love – How God calls each of us by name, just as
Jesus called Zacchaeus, and invites us into a relationship that changes how we see our-
selves and others.
God Trusted Me with It! – How God's trust in us gives us courage to use our gifts boldly
rather than bury them in fear.
The Secret of Contentment – How gratitude frees us from the pressure of “never enough”
and helps us live joyfully with what we have.
A Disciple's Lifestyle – How generosity becomes a natural expression of discipleship—
using our creativity and care for God's purposes.

Each Sunday, we'll reflect on a different aspect of stewardship—children and adults together—discovering that generosity isn't just about what's in our wallets, but what's in our hearts.

As we move through this season of gratitude, I invite you to take time to reflect, pray, and talk as a family about how God is calling you to live generously.

May God's transforming grace shape our hearts this November and make us a church known not for what we have, but for how we share it.

With gratitude and love,

Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
