THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Many of you might still remember John Beringer, Susan Elwell’s beloved, who passed away last Monday and whose memorial service will be held tomorrow at church. He actually came to worship in our church over a year ago and I believe it was the last church service he attended...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER I really enjoyed our New Year’s Eve’s Service and Celebration. Seeing you come to God to give Him thanks for what He has done in 2015 and asking Him for His continued guidance in 2016 truly blessed me. Seeing you smile and laugh—and of course, dance—also made me happy...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER God is humble. When He does something, He does not usually tell us. He just works behind the scene—quietly. When it is done, then can we see it! I am sure we all can appreciate what we see in our sanctuary and dining hall this Christmas season. These two rooms have been [&h...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Last Christmas was one of the happiest times of Santy’s life. Her best friend came to visit all the way from Australia. Many of you had the chance to meet her and her family at church and at the New Year’s Eve Service and Celebration. Not long after, she was diagnosed wit...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER My friend Peter Tan has given me permission to share with you what I see in or hear from him because he wants his life to be a blessing. As you might recall Peter has been a quadriplegic for more than 10 years as a result of a gunshot wound suffered during […]...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER As I write this upstairs in the church’s office, some of you are working down in the sanctuary and fellowship hall. You are putting up the new painting and decorating the church. Yesterday some of you also came—decorating the Christmas tree and putting up the dark curtain...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER I write this at the Highland Springs Resort where we are having our annual retreat. This place brought back memories. Our loved ones who were with us, then, are no longer with us today. They do not need earthly retreat anymore because they are, after all, already in the heave...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER It was rather hard to see Tante Sin at the funeral service of her daughter, Lita Rankin. She was utterly heart-broken. I can understand why. My mother has lost both my father and my brother but she lost more when she lost my brother. I am sure losing a spouse or a […]...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Another senseless killing just happened. This time it was in Paris. The sad thing about the sin of killing is that most perpetrators do not feel guilty. Some even think that their acts are justified and are the right thing to do. And one more thing: Most perpetrators do belie...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Another child of God has just come home. Lita Rankin, the sister of our brother Robert Taroreh slipped into eternity at 3:55 pm Friday, November 6. She had fought a good fight. For over ten long years she battled cancer that slowly ravaged her body. Every time she seemed to b...
