Farewell (for now) to Pablo Gonzalez (04/12/26, 11am)

After many years accompanying services (and sharing our lives with Pablo, Lizette and their precious family), the completion of the Fulbright Scholarship under which Pablo has trained means that he must return to his home country for a time.

Join us TOMORROW (04/12/26) after church for a special celebration and going away luncheon.  We say: "Pablo, thank you for sharing your special talent and heart with Sunrise Chapel. Your music brought light to our services. We wish you many blessings in this next season of your journey!"

Finally, we thought our congregation would be interested to read about the study, practice, and talent that brought Pablo to this country.  Please see his bio below:

Ken Lee Letter (On Considering Donation)

I’m asking that you consider joining me and doing what I have done in the past and am currently doing. And if you do so, be willing to ask others to join this effort too:

•  If you are not doing so, please consider starting to donate to Sunrise Chapel on a weekly or monthly basis, in any amount no matter how large or small.
• If you are already donating, please consider increasing it.
• *If you are not tithing already, please consider doing that. Understanding that tithing is just giving back to God based on a percentage of what He has sent you.

Editorial Note: After getting to know Ken's heart on this topic, the following summary from FaithFi summarizes his goal in invoking that term:  the concept of tithing has evolved from a strict, law-based 10% mandate to a voluntary, heart-centered spiritual discipline focused on trust, gratitude, and stewardship rather than legalistic obligation. While many still use 10% as a benchmark of generosity, the focus has shifted toward giving joyfully...based on God's provision, rather than as a transactional duty.

BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEKEND!  

Your church home for partnering with the Lord and each other in helping people experience heavenly joy through spiritual growth!
