How are you doing?
I would like to invite you to Easter Service this Sunday instead of our regular VSM Forum.  Easter service is one of the highlight of Christian calendars where we celebrate the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
Before going to service @ 3:00PM, we would like to have scrumptious Easter Lunch in Alameda
Please note that we are still having Impact tutoring and Joyland service as usual at 10:00AM so we will be picking up your children at 9:30AM in front of UC Village Community Center.
So if you would like your children to come earlier than you, please also indicate that on the sign up page.
I hope to see many of you this Sunday.  You won’t want to miss this opportunity!

We have been meeting on Sundays in Alameda.  Since
there are so many visiting scholars with children, we had thought it
would be wonderful if the children can participate in the academic
enrichment/tutuoring program through Impact and our church’s
children’s program (Joyland) on Sundays.

We have been providing English conversation program
for adults  as well before we have bible study on Sunday.

Impact is an non-profit organization that provides academic enrichment
program to children at Gracepoint’s church building on Sunday
mornings.   You can check out more about Impact through its website,

Joyland is the name of Gracepoint Church’s children’s program.  You
can check out more about Joyland through its website:

So, here is the schedule for our programs on Sunday.

On Christmas day, we had a special Christmas dinner at Paul and Mary’s house for those who were around.  There was a ton of delicious food including baked ham and roast beef followed by some delicious homemade desserts.  For those who were not able to join us, we wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

This Saturday, we had an opportunity to visit Neighborhood Church and attend their annual Christmas musical production. We had an enjoyable time as we saw the Christmas nativity story brought to life with impressive backdrops, and professional acting and singing.  Afterwards, we had our annual Christmas party with delicious food and desserts, followed by a fun time of doing the Christmas gift exchange.  We closed off the night by singing Christmas hymns and being reminded through the songs what Christmas is truly about.

Today we had the opportunity to enjoy a very special presentation by our Joyland children’s department about the true story of Christmas and what Christmas is all about.  It was a night filled with excitement and lots of laughter as the children, including some our very own VSM children, performed various skits and songs so that we could all appreciate more the true meaning of Christmas.
