지난 달 속회 모임에 갔다가 현관에서 넘어져 급히 앰뷸런스에 실려 응급실로 가면서 많은 감사를 드리게 되었습니다. 먼저 그렇게 힘들고 어려울 때 아버지 하나님을 부를 수 있어서 감사했고, 둘째로 그 시간에 나를 위해서 기도해준 속회 식구들이 있음에 감사하게 되었습니다. 그렇게 응급실에 실려 가면서 생각해 보니 진정 감사한 것이 참 많았습니다. 비록 아이들이 곁에 있지 못하지만 교회식구들의 돌봄을 받고 있고, 중보기도팀에서 매주 기도해 주고, 교회를 가지 못하는 때도 온라인으로 주일 예배뿐 아니라, 새벽기도회, 수요예배등 모든 예배를 드릴 수 있다는 것이 감사할 뿐이었습니다. 그렇게 응급실에 실려 갔는데 나를 돌봐 준 간호사가 또한 기독교인이어서 얼마나 잘 돌봐 주는지! 모든 것이 그저 감사할 뿐입니다. 할렐루야! Last month, during our cell group meeting, I fell at the entrance and had to be taken by ambulance to the emergency room — and through it all, I was reminded of many things that I should be thankful for. First, I was thankful that I could call upon my Father God at a difficult time as such. Second, I was deeply grateful to my cell group members who prayed for me at that very moment. And as I was being taken to the emergency room, I realized just how many things I truly could be thankful for. Although my children could not be by my side, I was cared for by my church family. The intercessory prayer team prayed for me every week, and even when I couldn’t attend church in person, I was able to worship, through online, not only Sunday services, but also early morning prayer meetings and Wednesday evening services! When I arrived at the emergency room, the nurse who cared for me turned out to be a Christian, and she took such good care of me! Everything about that day was simply something to give thanks for. Hallelujah!

As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, I am thankful that three of my main goals for 2025 were successfully completed. First, we were able to find and repair a leak in the roof that was causing mysterious flooding in the elevator shaft. Second, we were able to make a repair to the lawn sprinkler system backflow valve, thereby taking us out of "violation" status with Colorado Springs Utilities. Third, we were able to economically replace light bulbs in the sanctuary with brighter and more energy-efficient LED bulbs, resulting in a much brighter sanctuary experience. Additionally, we were able to commence a major construction project to repair the sewer line under the fellowship hall floor, and replace old and badly stained floor tiles in the fellowship hall, kitchen, and storage rooms. I will be VERY thankful indeed when that major construction project is completed! 재단위원회(Trustees) 위원장으로서, 2025년의 주요 목표 세 가지가 성공적으로 완료된 것에 대해 감사드립니다. 첫째, 엘리베이터 샤프트에 원인을 알 수 없던 침수를 일으키던 지붕 누수를 찾아내어 수리할 수 있었습니다. 둘째, 잔디 스프링클러 시스템의 역류 방지 밸브를 수리하여, 콜로라도 스프링스 공공시설국(Colorado Springs Utilities)으로부터 “위반” 상태를 해제할 수 있었습니다. 셋째, 예배당의 전구를 더 밝고 에너지 효율적인 LED 전구로 경제적으로 교체함으로써, 예배당 전체가 훨씬 더 밝은 분위기로 변했습니다. 또한 친교실 바닥 아래 하수관을 수리하고, 친교실·부엌·창고의 오래되고 얼룩진 바닥 타일을 교체하는 대규모 공사를 시작할 수 있었습니다. 이 대형 공사가 완전히 마무리되는 날에는 정말로 큰 감사를 드리게 될 것입니다!

Egg Lush라는 한국식 샌드위치와 Burrito 카페를 남정미 성도가 이번에 다운타운에 새롭게 열었기에 찾아가 보았습니다. 저는 스팸/에그 샌드위치를 먹어 보았는데, 정~말 맛있었습니다! 하나님의 은혜 가운데 대박나길 축복합니다! Rachel Nam, one of our church members, has newly opened a Korean-style sandwich and burrito café called Egg Lush in downtown. May God’s grace be upon this new business, and may it flourish abundantly! Please stop by when you have a chance — it’s really delicious! 1025 S. Sierra Madre St, #B Colorado Springs, CO 80903 (Open 7:30 AM ~ 2:30 PM) https://egglushcafe.com/

지난 콜로라도 스프링스 한인회 주최 코리안 페스티발에 갔다가 반가운 이들을 만났습니다. 한국학교 부츠에서 이미희 한국학교 교장 선생님, 그리고 고려인 홍보 부츠에서 김해나 성도님, 그리고 메인 스테이지에서 MC로 전체 프로그램을 인도하고 있던 피터최 기자님, 그리고 이번에 다운타운에 새로 샌드위치 가게를 연 남정미 성도님등, 우리 교회 교우들이 열심히 큰 행사를 돕고 있는 모습이 자랑스럽고 감사했습니다. 한미 화이팅! At the recent Korean Festival hosted by the Korean Association of Colorado Springs, I was delighted to meet some familiar faces. At the Korean School booth, I met Principal Meehee Lee; at the Koryo booth, I met our church member Hanna Kim; on the main stage, journalist Peter Choi was serving as the MC leading the entire program; and I also saw our member Jungmi Nam, who recently opened a new sandwich shop in downtown. I felt proud and thankful to see our church members working so diligently to support such a large event. Go KAMC!

지난 토요일 매월 셋째주 토요일에 갖는 Homeless 선교가 있었습니다. 26명의 팀원들이 150여명분의 샌드위치와 Safeway에서 도네이트 해준 푸짐한 빵과 케잌을 함께 나누었습니다. 그날 함께 수고하고 협조해 주신 여러분께 감사를 드리며, 우리가 나눈 작은 예수님의 사랑으로 그들의 삶이 회복되고 복음의 능력으로 변화되기를 또한 간절히 기도해 봅니다. 모두들 수고하셨습니다! Last Saturday, we held our monthly Homeless Mission, which takes place on the third Saturday of each month. Our team of 26 members shared over 150 sandwiches along with an abundance of bread and cakes generously donated by Safeway. We sincerely thank everyone who worked hard and supported generously on that day. We also earnestly pray that through the small expression of Jesus’ love we shared, people's lives may be restored and transformed by the power of the gospel. Thank you, everyone!

29일 금요일 저녁, 이곳 교인들과 예배를 드렸습니다. 담임목사님께서 말씀을 전해 주셨습니다. 예배 후에는 150명의 교인들께 한국 음식으로 식사를 대접하였고 한아름 준비한 어린이 선물 셋트도 나누었습니다. 예배의 감격과 나눔의 기쁨을 허락하신 하나님께 감사드립니다. 이곳의 사역들을 위해 계속 중보해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.

8월 28일 오전 10시 비행기로 덴버를 출발한 21명의 페루 비전트립 팀은 현재 휴스턴 공항에서 리마행 비행기를 기다리고 있습니다. 마치 기드온의 용사들처럼 비록 작은 수일지라도 하나님께서 함께하실 때 큰 일을 이루실 것을 믿습니다. 이번 여정 가운데 주님의 인도하심과 보호하심이 충만하기를 기도합니다.

강영철 선교사님이 콜로라도에 오셨습니다. 첫 식사를 대접해 주신 고은순 집사님과 환영해 주신 여러 교우님들께 감사를 드립니다. 귀한 부흥회가 오늘 저녁 7시부터 시작됩니다. 귀한 집회에 함께 해 주시길 바랍니다. 내일은 영어권 집회와 함께 저녁 6시부터는 중고등부도 모임을 갖습니다. 귀한 모임들을 위해서 수고해 주시는 여러분께 감사를 드립니다. 감사합니다!

우리 교회 중고등부 학생 10명이 어제부터 덴버지역 연합 청소년 수양회인 Fuse 에 참석중입니다. 내일 (토)까지 진행되는 수양회를 통해서 큰 은혜 받고 돌아 올 수 있도록 많은 기도를 부탁드립니다! Ten of our Youth Group students are currently attending Fuse, a Denver-area joint youth retreat that began yesterday. Please keep them in your prayers so they may receive abundant grace through the retreat, which continues until tomorrow (Saturday)!

더운 날씨에도 불구하고 한 걸음에 달려와 기꺼이 섬겨주신 홈리스 선교팀원 여러분, 여러분의 헌신과 사랑의 수고에 하나님께서 무척 기뻐하셨으리라 믿습니다. 감사합니다. 땀과 기도로 빚어낸 섬김은 하나님의 나라를 이 땅에 드러내는 귀한 통로가 되었고, 누군가에겐 위로가, 누군가에겐 소망이 되었으리라 믿습니다. 수고하셨습니다. To our dear homeless mission team, Thank you for coming so willingly and wholeheartedly, even in the heat. I truly believe that your dedication and the love you poured out brought great joy to God's heart. Through your service—shaped by prayer and offered with sweat and kindness—God’s kingdom was made visible in a beautiful way. For some, it was a moment of comfort; for others, a glimpse of hope. Thank you for your heartfelt efforts. You’ve been such a blessing.

Fourth of July, 휴일임에도 불구하고 중보기도팀의 기도는 끊이지 않았습니다! 기도회를 마치고 맥다방에서 담소를 나누는 중보기도팀을 사진에 담아 보았습니다. 교회와 교인들을 위해서 불철주야 기도의 끈을 놓지 않으시는 중보 기도팀 여러분께 감사를 드리며, 우리의 기도를 통해 역사하시는 하나님께 영광을 돌립니다! 아멘! Even on the Fourth of July holiday, the Intercessory Prayer Team did not cease to pray! After the prayer meeting, I captured a photo of the team sharing fellowship at McDonald's. We are deeply grateful to the Intercessory Prayer Team, who faithfully pray day and night for our church and congregation. And all glory to God, who works through our prayers! Amen!

Dear Beloved Members of Hanmi Methodist Church, It was in 1982 when twenty believers gathered at the home of Exhorter Kwi-Yeol Cha to hold the very first worship service of Hanmi Methodist Church. Now, by God’s amazing grace, we joyfully celebrate the 43rd anniversary of our church. As we reflect on the journey of these many years, we cannot help but offer our heartfelt thanks and praise to the Lord who has faithfully guided and sustained us. In particular, as we mark the second year since joining the Global Methodist Church, we give thanks for the many blessings God has poured out on our congregation over the past year. We began 2025 with a New Year’s Blessing Early Morning Prayer Week, lifting up our children and EM members in prayer. During the Lenten season, 90 members came together to offer 1,251 hours of united prayer. On Easter Sunday, the summit of that spiritual journey, we celebrated with great joy as 14 members received baptism and confirmation. During Lent, we also learned of Brother Santos, a ministry partner of our missionary in Nepal, who was diagnosed with cancer. In response, our congregation came together in prayer and raised $6,000 in special mission support. Then, the following week, after hearing a powerful mission report from Missionary Joseph Tak, several members were moved to begin supporting six refugee house churches in Turkey on a monthly basis—signs of new flames being kindled for mission. We were also blessed with 14 new members joining our church family in the first half of this year, filling our community with even more joy. In early June, our church participated in the Korean American Annual Conference with not only two pastors but also five lay representatives, demonstrating our commitment to serve the denomination beyond our local church. A few weeks later, we hosted the Central District Pastors’ Family Retreat with over 50 participants—another sign of our church's growing maturity and widening reach. And most significantly, after four years, our Vacation Bible School returned, filling the church with new life and vibrant energy. In addition to all this, the Lord has blessed us with many meaningful moments: the Women's Ministry hot springs retreat, joint cell group meetings, “Shepherd Life” Bible studies, the spring church cleanup, and our recent outdoor worship service. Remembering these moments and the abundant grace we have received through them, we would like to invite you to join us for our 43rd Anniversary Thanksgiving Service as we come together with joy and gratitude to honor all that God has done. We sincerely hope you will join us in celebration! With blessings, Rev. TJ Kim, Senior Pastor KAMC 43rd Anniversary Thanksgiving Worship Service Sunday, July 6, 2025 9:00 AM (1st Service, English Ministry) & 11:00 AM (2nd Service, Korean Ministry) * Holy Communion will be celebrated during both services. * Children’s Ministry and Youth Group will hold their regular services at 11:00 AM. * Special 43rd Anniversary Offering envelopes are available in the offering envelope box.
