God bless.
With the hagwon vacation season among us, our regular service at the Bucheon Campus will be cancelled. Instead, we will meet at the church at 2pm (normal starting time) and travel via the subway from Songnae Station to join our central Seoul campus for worship at 4pm. If you plan on making your own way there, you can visit http://www.onnurienglish.org for directions to the place. The closest subway stop is Seobinggo on the aqua-green line.
Men’s Prayer Meeting is also cancelled this week due to lack of numbers with many people travelling this week. God bless.
Pastor Dave will be leaving for the U.K. this Saturday for 10 days with his new fiancee’. Preaching in his place will be Brady Bush.
Dave’s plan is to start in London for a few days with friends before trekking up to Nottingham to see family.
From there we head back to London for a church planting conference featuring Mark Driscoll, Scott Thomas and Steve Timmis. Thereafter we will head to Cardiff for a good friend’s wedding and visiting some more friends in Bath before flying out of London back to Korea.
Please keep Dave and Rebekah in your prayers as July promises to be an insanely hectic schedule (Weddings, sermons, and intensive summer teaching schedule will be brutal). You can stay posted by visiting Pastor Dave’s blog at http://daveshawblog.wordpress.com
Also pray for Brady as he takes our congregation through God’s word in 1 Corinthians 9-10 over the coming two weekends. God bless.
To all those coming on the retreat, thank you for your support,

P.S. Again for those not attending retreat, regular Sunday service is canceled. We look forward to seeing you again the following week.
Although a number of our members are going on the Seoul OEM retreat, service times will be as normal this coming weekend of the 8th of June.
For our regular attenders, we are slightly moderating our service format in an effort to keep things fresh and slipping into mediocrity. Here is what you can expect to take place in the coming Sundays and beyond…
To start the service we will begin with 10 minutes of quiet, reflective prayer and worship taking place with low level background music and the lights dimmed. We encourage all attendees to arrive on time for this. If you do happen to be late, please enter the sanctuary quietly in order to respect those who have arrived on time.
Following the time of prayer, we will have the Bible reading according to what is being preached, and then our band will lead us in worship for three or four songs. We will break at this point in the service to meet and greet one another.
Following the opening time of music and brief meet and greet we will have our sermon time (current sermon series is First Corinthians).
At the sermons closing, we will allow five minutes for quiet reflection (again to background music) in order to respond inwardly to what God has spoken to each of us through the service thus far. Our worship band will then lead us corporately in response with two or three songs to see out the service.
Post service we take time to enjoy some afternoon snacks and drinks enjoying each others company.
We request that all our regular attendees arrive on time for the service, and encourage any guests who might visit us for the first time to join us from 2pm onwards.
God bless.
Having just ended our Everyday Spirituality series, we begin in April an extended series on Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthian Church. If the Everyday Spirituality series was aimed at personal transformation, then the First Corinthians series is aimed at communal transformation. The thrust of the series overall will be directed toward the church engaging with a pluralistic culture and being effective missionaries in world that essentially lives by the credo, “This is my truth, tell me yours.”
See more on our Current Sermon Series page.
Thanks to all those who came out to celebrate our Easter service.
This coming Sunday, Pastor Dave will be taking the weekend off pulpit duty. In his place, will be Dr. Steve Chang from Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology. Dr. Chang specializes in New Testament studies and will be preaching from Ephesians 3:17b-19 and titled “For Love’s Sake.”
Hope to see you there.
In only a handful of days the Easter event will be upon us. Easter is the centerpiece of the Christian faith. Interestingly enough, when Paul wrote to what was possibly the most jacked-up church in all of history (the Corinthian church), he said that the cross of Christ was of first importance. That in the death of Christ we have a Savior who died for our sins.
Why is this of first importance…?
