Happy New Year!

Just wanted to wish you all a happy new year! Hannah and I are in Korea now, visiting family, and we're headed to Taiwan next week. In Berkeley we had a wonderful New Year's Eve service where Pastor Ed gave a message on our church's key verse for 2009:

1 John 1:3-4
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.

He followed it up last Sunday with another message on 1 John 1. Both messages can be found on the Gracepoint podcast page. Please listen to these while you're at home so we can all start the new year on the same page! Also, please read Kelly's blog post about why we chose these verses. I hope we can all experience deeper fellowship with God and one another in 2009!
