Visit to Glen Brook Terrace

sisters from Gracepoint Fellowship Church at Glen Brook TerraceLast Sunday, a cozy group of us accompanied Gracepoint Berkeley's Elderly Care ministry (ECM) to visit Glen Brook Terrace. ECM goes to Glen Brook twice/month to hold a worship service for the residents. This is where Grandma Jaqi, the oldest member of Gracepoint, lives. She's been at our church since the very beginning and is known by all as a faithful prayer warrior.

We practiced at Dana House the night before some special songs with accompaniment by piano, violin, flute, guitar, and shaker! Then we learned how to worship with our whole body to the song "IGracepoint Berkeley Koinonia HG RED-HD students doing body worship Will Worship You." During the service, we taught the residents the motions, much to their delight. One lady said she hadn't moved like that in a long time. The residents were so attentive as Steve Choi gave a message (his first-ever) about the Samaritan Woman, about God's love and living water given to us to quench our deepest yearnings.

It was a wonderful time to share with the elderly, who were so appreciative of our presence. We're going back in July, so please join us if you couldn't this time! More pictures are available here.
