Congratulations to Amanda Liu & Leo Kang, this year’s Impact Award recipients!
The Impact Award provides $2,000 to each student to support their desire to live as missionaries on campus, sharing their faith and making a difference in their school communities.
Amanda and Leo have both been part of Josiah’s youth ministry over the past few years, and he will continue to mentor them throughout the year.
Please join us in praying for Amanda and Leo as they step into this exciting opportunity to share the love of Jesus with those around them!

Jacob is very hurt by what his father did to him many years ago that he won't have anything to do with him to which his wife Sarah must do everything to bring Jacob and his father back together again for the sake of Jacob and his three children Anna, Caleb, and Cassie who love their grandfather very much.

Plan to Protect Training
Please join us for our yearly required Plan to Protect Training for those working with vulnerable sectors (children, youth, vulnerable adults). This is a 2.5 hour course with lunch provided. This training is mandatory to serve the vulnerable sector for 2026.
The refresher course will take place in the Fellowship Hall and the Orientation (for new volunteers) will take place in the Nursery.
Thank you for giving your time to this important training to ensure the safety of our community.
Annual Informed Consent & Household Information Update
Parents and guardians, please take a moment at check-in this Sunday to complete our annual informed consent form. It’s quick and easy for returning families—just your family name, a few checkmarks and a signature!
You’ll also have an opportunity to update any household information, if needed.
Thank you for helping us keep our records up to date and our children safe!
Children’s Ministry Needs You!
We’re thankful to share that great progress has been made in building our Nursery team!
We are still looking for 1-2 adult Nursery volunteers for 9:15am service and 4 adult Nursery volunteers who would be willing to be on-call for the 11:00am service in case Nursery care is needed.
On your scheduled Sunday, we ask that you remain available in the Nursery until 15mins after service starts to allow for any late arrivals. If no Nursery care is needed by then, you can head into the service or head home!
Please connect with Deanna for more information, or click the Volunteer Application button a little further down in this newsletter.
