30-Hour Famine Starts at Gracepoint Fellowship Church!!!
One group set up shop outside of Berkeley Bowl and sold homemade pies and other baked goods, as well as handmade Father’s Day cards. Many of us were impressed by Sean’s delicate card-making skills, and evidently so were the people who bought them! It was comforting to know that even if Sean’s job search takes longer than expected, he’ll always have a backup plan.
Steve fulfilled a long-held dream of his by joining Sheri, Vivan, and Tim to form a string quartet on the corner of Telegraph and Durant. As we played for people walking by, many seemed surprised to see a classical performance on Telegraph Ave. of all places. We attracted quite a crowd whenever we played Pachabell’s Canon, and we even met a few Christians (including a missionary from YWAM) who prayed for us and encouraged us to keep up the good work.
The third group went around door-to-door to ask for donations. In all we raised just over $300. Not bad for an hour and a half of solicitations! Please continue to think of ways to raise money and connect your own heart with the issue of world hunger!

End of the Year @ Gracepoint Berkeley and Koinonia
Our GTS (Gracepoint Training School) classes also ended last Friday. I was in the SK1 class, and we got to reflect about the ways we grew in faith and boldness and the ways God addressed many of our struggles through the different lessons each week. Here's a picture from our class (thanks to Dave Park for these pics!)
We're so proud of them and are thankful to have been able to love them and receive love from them. Congratulations seniors!
You can find more pictures from Senior Sunday here and here.

Visit to Glen Brook Terrace
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 "I 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.
