Gratia Sunday Service: Baptism of Teenager
On December 27, 2020, Gratia Church held a graceful and special final Sunday service of 2020. The message was delivered by Pastor Walker Tzeng from Colossians 3:1-17, entitled “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” The message reflected on the past year, exhorted members to cast off the sins of our old life, and live a new year righteously in Christ.
The service included a special baptism ceremony for 16-year old Teenager Simon Tzeng. Pastor Tzeng started the ceremony by explaining the meaning of baptism and then conducted the baptism. Afterwards, members prayed for Simon, thanking God for His amazing love in his life and to be a new creation in Jesus Christ. Finally, members of Gratia applauded and encouraged Simon.
Teenager Simon reflected on his baptism saying, “I am so grateful to be baptized today. I truly hope to have the heart of Christ that loves endlessly.”
We thank God for this final Sunday service of 2020, that He allowed such graceful celebrations that gives us strength and love to live newly for a New Year.

Gratia Christmas Service: Newcomers, Carols Singing, God’s Blessings
On December 25, 2020, Gratia Church held a graceful Christmas service both online and onsite with several newcomers attending their first ever Christmas service. Pastor Walker Tzeng delivered the message from Luke 2:1-21 entitled, “Gloria in excelsis Deo! Glory to God in the highest.” The message emphasized the very real birth of Jesus in manger and how God came to us in a humble way to establish a relationship of love with us through His Son.
At the end of the Christmas service, Gratia members opened their gifts from their “Secret Santa”. These gifts were sent to Gratia members in the weeks prior, given by a person chosen at random and in secret. The online participants were mailed a gift since it is a time of pandemic. Members were excited and thankful for God’s blessing of a gift from the heart of another member.
We thank God for pouring down grace upon Gratia’s Christmas Service. Please pray for the newcomers to set up their faith in Jesus Christ and be a part of helping grow Gratia Church to be a glory to God.
