Also, instead of having IGSM Sunday Service, we will have Easter Service at Kofman Auditorium in Alameda as well.

Good Friday is a time when Christians pause to reflect on the death of Jesus and to think about the meaning and significance of the cross. The following Sunday is known as Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Good Friday Service will begin at 6:45pm, so please meet at Barrows Hall at 5:45pm on Friday if you need a ride.
For Easter Sunday, please meet at Barrows Hall at 2pm on Sunday if you need a ride. Also, we will have a potluck after Easter Sunday service, so be sure to stick around for some delicious food!

What would a good God do? What are the attributes of a good God?

We gathered at Barrows Hall around 11:00 A.M. and headed for Mount Tamalpais. The hiking was really great, and the fresh air/perfect weather filled everyone with excitement. Afterward, we went to San Francisco Ocean Beach for a bonfire and barbeque. Even the wind and the cold could not spoil those very memorable moments as we gathered together and had a wonderful time. Check out our pictures and the unnecessarily dramatic video!

The space was filled with joy for the great service, with Chul’s message on the Sabbath and how we have relationships with people. After the service, chicken was served for lunch. It was a very happy and blessed time.

IGSM/IUSM open house takes place every Sunday at 11:30 A.M. You are always welcome!

As the weather warms up, we hope that we will have more of these fun sports events in this spring.  Hope you can join us!

As we drove through Tunnel View and Glacier Point, seeing the waterfalls and Half Dome up close, we could only be in awe by the scene before our eyes. Many of us could resonate with David’s response to creation,“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” (Psalm 8:1,3-4)Though we are so small in comparison to nature, when we see our rightful place in this world, we are reminded that there is a Creator who is mindful of us and loves us. Struggling up the hiking trail together and making it to the top was one unforgettable bonding experience that only reveals how wonderful relationships and friendships really are.

Enjoy the photos!

I was amazed at how well the guys could make good looking dumplings. Check out the pictures.

After making, cooking and eating dumplings, we had cake and ice-cream for dessert. We also gathered together and shared a little bit about ourselves in order to get to know one another. Overall, it was good food and good fun!
