Hi all,

Hope all of you are having a good week. 

First, if you haven't done so already, please fill out this Focus evaluation http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG5UYVItX0VMZ1VwT1ZiTTc5eFYyU3c6MA
We will use this information to make some decisions for next semester.

Second, we will be back together this Friday at the T-Center at 7:00pm.  We will be wrapping up our bible study series for the semester with a discussion on vision. Be there.

Finally, a few important dates to keep in mind:

This Week


Hi All:

Hope your week is going well. It's been a week of ups and downs for me. But volatility is good, because it forces me to turn to and depend on Christ...and to seek edification from biblical community. This passage has particularly encouraged me, as I hope it will for you:

Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

This Friday, we'll be meeting all together at the T-Center at 7:00pm for same-gender bible study. This week, our topic of discussion is on the voice. Specifically, we'll be looking at how our words can be used by God to speak truth and encouragement into each other's lives.

This Sunday we'll be going apple picking at 2:00pm. More details forthcoming from Gina.

Finally, please don't forget the Halloween party. I've attached a flyer for this event to this email, courtesy of our very own, Aaron Park. Yay! Please be thinking of inviting your friends to this gathering.

God bless!

This Week!

Hi all,

Hope your week is getting off to good start. First, from what I hear, a lot of you had fun at H-Games. Even though we didn't come in first, we built our unity!

For this Friday, we'll be meeting at the T-Center at 7:00pm for dinner and bible study. The topic of discussion will be on listening to God. Please try to arrive on time!

For Saturday, there is an opportunity to support HMCC's medical outreach and reach out to the community by volunteering to help out at a flu clinic at 4:00pm. If you would like to help out, please contact Susan Ahn (ahn.susan@gmail.com).

God bless!

This Week!

Hi all,

Hope you week is going well. This week's a big one for our ministry.

First, this Friday we're back together at the T-Center at 7:00pm. We'll be meeting in the basement and splitting off between men and women. This week's topic: transformation of the mind. Hopefully all of you can make it out.

Then it's the BIG DAY on Saturday. That's right. H-Games. May this be the year we take back the trophy. We'll be meeting at noon in the Palmer Commons lounge (located on the 3rd floor) for lunch and a pep rally. For lunch, please bring your own food. The festivities start at 1:00pm on Palmer Field. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend H-Games because of work, but I'm confident that you guys will represent.

God bless and see you all Friday!

This Week

Hi Focus,

Hope all is well. I'm pretty sore right now. Flag football has been great, but it has exposed the fact that I'm out of shape. :(

This Friday, we won't be meeting all together as Focus. Rather, we'll be meeting up in our same gender huddle groups for fellowship and bonding! You should be receiving an email from your huddle group facilitator(s) soon regarding more details. If you don't, please email me back.

Also, don't forget that there is a church-wide prayer gathering this Thursday at the T-Center at 7:00pm. Hopefully many of you will be able to come out to pray with the rest of the church.

God bless and please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi all,

It was great seeing many of you this past Tuesday at prayer gathering. It's always a blessing to be able to pray with and for the community.

This Friday we'll be back at the T-Center basement at 7:00pm for LIFE group. We'll be meeting all together and then splitting up into same gender LIFE groups. I'm really looking forward to this!

Also, this Saturday we kick-off Flag Football! Yay! If you still have not signed up, it's not too late. You can do so by emailing Gabe Pak (gabriel.pak@gmail.com).

God bless and see you all Friday!

This Week!

Hi all,

It was great seeing so many of you at the Focus kick-off picnic this past Monday. I had a lot of fun, but I'm definitely sore from the pick-up football game. Speaking of football, it's still not too late to sign-up for this season's flag football league. This will be a great way to reach out to your friends and co-workers. Please invite them! I've attached the registration form to this email. You can bring this form and your $15 this Friday night to register. Hope to see many of you on the field.

Now onto Friday. We'll be starting the new season this Friday night at the T-Center Basement at 7:00pm. We'll be talking about the structure of Focus during the fall and how same gender life groups are going to work. We'll also be having dinner starting at 7:00pm, so please come on time! (Note: Since we haven't been meeting for awhile, I hope that we'll have a very rich and lively YAY God time together!)

Finally, HMCC is having an experiencing ministry class on 9/13. If you are a member of the church and want to join a ministry team, you'll have to take this class. Details here: http://annarbor.hmcc.net/announcements/announcement.php?id=50

God bless everyone. See you Friday!
