JESUS THE RISING SUN

Thank God who enabled us to have two Christmas worship services on Dec.19 at Chicago UBF at 11 am and 2 pm, with 120 and 130 attendees in person, respectively, and as many people online as well.

We almost had to cancel our in-person services due to several cases of Covid among those diligently preparing, including two drama members. But through emergency prayer meetings with leaders and the medical advice of Dr. S*arah W, who works in Infectious Diseases, we prayerfully decided to have our worship services, wearing masks and canceling all sit-down meals together. Pastor Mark Vucekovich preached a spirited message twice on "Jesus, the Rising Sun" (Lk 1:57-80).

His Lincoln Park UBF members sang a beautiful 10-person chorus at 11 am.

M. Gideon Bahn and DuPage UBF sang another beautiful 17-member chorus at 2 pm.

The tech team and drama team devoted themselves to preparing a wonderful worship service.

God visited us through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God rescued us from our enemies by his mighty power. God saved us by his tender mercy. God brought us out of our darkness through the powerful light of Jesus, the Rising Sun.
