As the Lord says in John 13:34, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another," Manmin Central Church practiced the love in a special way in May, the month of family, by holding Children's Sunday Service and Parents' Day Events.
At 1:30 p.m. on May 6, 2018, Children's Sunday School had Children's Sunday Service in the second sanctuary, and it was broadcast live worldwide by GCN. Sister Yunjung Yim, fifth grader, presided over the service, Sister Saeeun Jeon, fifth grader, gave representative prayer, and Sister Sarang Shim, sixth grader, read the Scripture. Manmin Children Choir offered up special praise.
Rev. Dr. Soojin Lee, President of the Pastors' Association, delivered the message titled "We Are the Fruit of the Father" based on John 15:5. To become the source of joy to God and reach the most beautiful heaven in New Jerusalem, she urged attendees to break old habits such as anger, hatred, and lying; to put on new self that loves, forgives, rejoices and offers praise.
On May 13, after Sunday Morning Service, Senior Deaconesses' Association held an event for the elderly members over 70. Rev. Dr. Heesun Lee, Guidance Pastor of Men's and Women's Missions delivered the message and urged them to have a fervent heart for the Lord like the prophet Anna, regardless of their ages. She also urged them to live for the kingdom and righteousness of God in prayer and fasting.
After the message, the Power Chorus of the Performing Arts Committee demonstrated a Taekwondo dance routine and worship dance with the Dream Band. They also danced with the elderly members to praises that give hope for heaven. They were all happy with the event. Senior Deaconess Ssanggeum Kim, age 72, said, "I felt happy as if I was in heaven. I give thanks to the church for holding Parents' Day events every year and giving us joy and happiness." After the event, delicious rice cake and drinks were served to them.
