An Environment Worth Developing



Thank you for choosing to worship with us at Living Faith Baptist  Church last Sunday.   We are grateful for your presence.  

Last Sunday, we learned how to cultivate a meaningful time together as a church.   The Bible says,  For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ."  (1 Corinthians 12:12).   Despite our differences, God calls us one body.  

For us to work together we stated four core values we embrace:  authenticity, mutuality, sympathy, and mercy.   As an authentic member, I pursue what's real.  In mutuality, I prepare not only to receive but also to give.  In sympathy, I feel what others feel and in mercy, I extend forgiveness especially when it is hard.   

I hope that these four characteristics guide you in pursuing meaningful relationships.   I hope you consider Living Faith Baptist Church to be your faith community.  

Please don't hesitate to send me an email at michaelabagon@gmail.com if ever we could be of service to you.   Praying for a great week and I hope to see you soon again.   

In His Service, 

Pastor Bong

  Hello!  I am looking forward to connecting with you this Friday at the social.  May I ask for your help to prepare for the event?  Before we talk about food, let's talk about people.  I would suggest that we put emphasis on college and young adults (C-YA) this month.  Pastor Philip, Johnny, and I identified a large number of C-YA within Living Faith and we want them to feel loved by our church family! Our resident C-YA include : Jenna, Joanna, Daniel, Johnson, Theresa, Michael, Christine, Alex, Henry, Vanessa, Riley, Isaac, Grace. C-YA home for summer include : Nathan, Andy, Austin, Kyle, Alissa, Caleb (June 15), Michelle (end of June), and Rachel (July 8). Other C-YA we know include : Cici, Jalen, Abigail, Crista, Alex & Daniel Z, Jason, Cindy..., etc. See, there are lots of C-YA!  Who will you personally invite to the social (besides yourself)?    Now, let's talk about food! The favorite dorm food according to Annie is spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, tossed sal

Happy Thanksgiving

There are a lot of things that set you apart from this world.  One of these is being grateful to God.  The Apostle Paul wrote, as far as you are concerned is in Christ Jesus, you give thanks for everything - this is God's will.   I want to thank God for my family, who had been my love and inspiration.  I thank God for you, Living Faith Baptist Church  because you enrich and encourage us.   I praise God for my extended family - yes beyond my family and the church is my extended family - and they range from people who are deeply connected to me from both near and far, and people who I meet every day.   These past two years had been a struggle for many of us.   A lot has been redefined for us but make no mistake when you are a believer in Jesus Christ, your spiritual journey continues on, your church family moves forward with you and your eternal destiny will never change.  These next few weeks, we will venture into the first chapters of Matthew that will lead us to study the first C
