If you would like to give to the Roman Monzon Memorial Fund, you may send your donations to the Connection, designated for the Roman Monzon memorial Fund. This fund will be used to help in Funeral costs and other related expenses. We will make sure that your monetary gift are specially noted and forwarded to the family.

 Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Also, Ate Cynthia has requested that the youth compile a list of K Roman’s jokes or “Romanisms.” Please write them down and give them to me on Sunday or email them to me at gcatanus@hotmail.com or through MySpace/Facebook.

And, if you would like to include pictures of Kuya Roman in the slideshow for Friday, please get them to Pastor Godfrey this Sunday. You can give it to him either through a flash drive, email or a regular picture which we will scan in. If you would like the picture back, please place it in an envelope with your name on it.

Finally, we would like to give Ate Cynthia the official DEEP Scrapbook next Friday. Please finish your pages as soon as you can. If you need another page or some pictures, please talk to Kuya Godfrey this Sunday. The FINAL DAY to include pages in the scrapbook will be this Wednesday evening 5PM. Please put them in K Godfrey’s mailbox at the Connection Office.

Keep praying for each other and for the Lief/Monzon family as well.

God Bless us all,
KG

Dear Church Family,

We just received news from Roman’s uncle, Chito, that the authorities at Huntington Lake were able to find Roman’s body. They located Roman’s body at approximately 7:30am today in the general area where they had been searching earlier this week. The family is now awaiting instructions from the Fresno County Coroner’s office regarding what to do next.

 

In the meantime, I would encourage everyone to be prayerful during this most difficult time. The church (youth center) will be open every day this week from 9:30AM to 10:00PM for those who would like to gather together for prayer and mutual encouragement.

 

Also, I would ask everyone to please check with the church office first at (949)857-6844, before dropping by to visit Cynthia and the family. We hope to make sure there is an appropriate flow of visitors in a manner that is helpful to the family. 

 

I will keep you all informed as soon I receive more relevant news. God is in charge. So, let us continue to trust Him as we go through this time of grief.

Trusting in Christ alone,

Pastor Vince

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to remind you that the divers will be continuing the search for Kuya Roman at Huntington Lake this morning. Also, know that some people from the church will be praying and fasting through lunch today. If you remember our prayer service from the 30-hour Famine, that’s what they will be doing. If you would like to join them in this, I know that would bring unity to the church and to the prayers that we lift up.

Also, the church will be open today throughout the day. Feel free to stop by and pray with the others that are there. There is also an “Encouraging Wall” for you to leave any encouraging verses or notes for everyone else.

Additionally, if you are planning on bringing pictures of Kuya Roman, please bring them by Friday. We may be able to print some of the pictures out at church, but Target and many other stores do it for very cheap too. We would like to have ONE scrapbook and  video to give to the family where everyone’s thoughts and prayers are represented. That way they are not overwhelmed by many small books. We are going to try to put everything together this weekend. If anyone wants to help in that, let me know.

Finally, one of my favorite Christian music artists, Steven Curtis Chapman, was interviewed on Good Morning America yesterday. Chapman lost his daughter in a tragic accident this past May. In this interview, they talk about how their faith and hope in God and loving support for one another has helped them cope. It’s a great interview. Click here to watch it.

We’ll see you soon this weekend. Keep Praying.
