On August 4, the August Monthly Service was performed joyously. A total of 90 attended the service. The sermon was delivered by Kaori Tetsuka, New York Center Staff Minister. The opening talk was given by Natalie Yuge.
Following the lunch reception, the Women’s Association monthly gathering and drum and fife corps practice were held. While the youth rehearsed their musical routines, the adults used the gathering to finalize community outreach strategies and share updates on their personal endeavors. One of the visiting attendees discussed his recent freelance software development work, explaining how he optimized user interfaces for a telehealth service and a casino mobile platform. The afternoon concluded with a collaborative planning session for the church’s upcoming autumn festival.
