5. Fundraising for Ukrainian Refugees: They urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people (2 Corinthians 8:4).  Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else (2 Corinthians 9:13).  So the Church will raise funds to help millions of Ukrainian refugees through the Universal Abundance Center for Life (GLEC) Eastern European Humanitarian Aid Program with a goal of $10,000. We have raised $9,152.96 up to this point. Check payable to: EFCLA, Memo: Ukraine.

It will be held at Rosemead Park at 9:00 am on 5/21 (Sat). The church will participate under the name of the EFCLA team with team leader Pastor Johnson Hsieh and the goal is to raise $2,000. Currently raised $200. Registration fee per person is $50 (including T-shirt) and direct sponsorship is also possible without running. Please register at global6k.worldvision.org/team/efcla or contact the church office if you have any questions.
