A life worth living

2011-01-16T19:17:00.001-08:00

New Year, old new place.
Yeah, we finally move back to Jones building for the Concord service.
Not everything is set yet, but we managed to have a nice service today.
Today's verse was taken from Ephesians 4:1
"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received"

The Meaning of the Cross

2010-03-22T21:10:00.000-07:00

What do we learn today?

To understand the meaning of the cross, we need to realize that forgiveness is costly. There is no such thing as “simply forgive”. Forgiveness is a form of suffering. Indeed, forgiveness is most needed by a person who deserves it the least. The cross then is a symbol of divine forgiveness. It is a reminder that we may also learn to forgive as God has forgiven us.

To understand the meaning of the cross, we need to realize that not only God is love, he is also a just and righteous God. God is a god who loves justice and righteousness. These are the characteristics of God that cannot be compromised. The cross then is a show of both God’s love and righteousness. It is the ultimate show of the uncompromising love. God shows his love without compromising his justice. It is a reminder for us that we may also show our love to one another without compromising our value.

What can you bring to the cross this year

2010-03-14T22:17:00.000-07:00

Stay focus and give the best for your God!
Today's reading : John 12 : 1-6
"...Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair...."
Sometimes, we were all busy with all the preparation and celebration, that we forgot what's the purpose and the center of the celebration.

Valentine service

2010-02-21T17:05:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's day ! Happy Chinese New Year !!

We had Pastor Jeremiah Tan to give us wisdom related to love.
1. There must be a balance between the expression and the action
We can't just show our expression that we love God and people near us; there must be an action.
2. And there must be a balance between the feeling and the decision
3. At last, a balance between the desire to correct and the willingness to be patient

And...big thanks for our youth; spent saturday night decorating the building.

Snow Trip!!!

2010-02-21T16:54:00.001-08:00

Wohoo...our first snow trip this year; It was in Mt.Rose.
It took 4 1/2 hours to get there, not mentioning we had 12 passanger van with tire chain for the last one hour. Oh my, what a long drive.
Looks like everyone was having fun despite the bruises and Daniel lost her wallet for a moment. maybe we will do it more often. hahaha

2008-12-06T20:26:00.000-08:00

Damai

2008-10-04T23:28:00.000-07:00

Apakah damai ?
Apakah benar damai yang kita rasakan takkala kita korupsi 5 juta, dan selanjutnya memberi sumbangan 1 juta ke panti asuhan ?
Damai tidak dapat terjadi apabila kita jauh dari Tuhan. Karena hanya dengan dekat dengan Dia, mematuhi dan menjalankan perintahNya, berserah dan mangakui bahwa Dia lah Juru selamat, barulah kita akan merasakan damai yang sebenarnya.

Sukacita

2008-10-04T23:27:00.000-07:00

Ams. 15:13
Hati yang gembira membuat muka berseri-seri, tetapi kepedihan hati mematahkan semangat.
Ams. 17:22
Hati yang gembira adalah obat yang manjur, tetapi semangat yang patah mengeringkan tulang.
Bersukacitalah senantiasa dalam Tuhan!

Kasih

2008-10-04T23:22:00.000-07:00

Kita memulai kembali topik buah-buah roh
Sumber kasih adalah Yesus sendiri. Oleh karena itu, apabila kita tidak memiliki hubungan yang dekat denganNya, kasih yang kita miliki lambat laun akan berkurang dan hilang. "..Dan sekalipun aku membagi-bagikan segala sesuatu yang ada padaku, bahkan menyerahkan tubuhku untuk dibakar, tetapi jika aku tidak mempunyai kasih, sedikitpun tidak ada faedahnya bagiku. "
Thank you Pastor Hengkie for the message..

Om is BacK!

2008-09-07T22:39:00.000-07:00

Welcome back Pastor Hengkie, with his new nice glasses also.
So, he shared about his journey in Indonesia
~20 times gave sermons in 5 weeks.hehe..and some of them is about political topic..wohoo
Hari ini, pastor Hengkie kotbah tentang serving God
- Dalam mengikut Yesus, kita harus selalu memiliki keinginan kuat yang positive, yang tak pernah hilang dimakan waktu
- dan bila kau merasa tidak ada joy ato merasa terpaksa, adalah baik apabila berhenti melayani dan melihat ulang apa yang sebenarnya kau lakukan.

MJ Farewell

2008-08-31T22:01:00.000-07:00

You've touched my heart,
You've helped me through,
My pain and sorrow,
which weren't too few.

You shared my smiles,
and my tears.
You were always there,
to squelch my fears.

To you my friend and confidant,
I give my heart of love,
My smiles of laughter,
and the hope that,
We will remain friends,
forever and after.

Materi = Evil ?

2008-08-24T12:03:00.000-07:00

Ayat Alkitab = Amsal 30:8-9
8. Jauhkanlah dari padaku kecurangan dan kebohongan. Jangan berikan kepadaku kemiskinan atau kekayaan. Biarkanlah aku menikmati makanan yang menjadi bagianku.
9. Supaya, kalau aku kenyang, aku tidak menyangkal-Mu dan berkata: Siapa TUHAN itu? Atau, kalau aku miskin, aku mencuri, dan mencemarkan nama Allahku.
Bagaimanakah kita harus memandang materi ?
-Materi adalah pemberian Allah bagi kita untuk dinikmati; materi itu baik
-Materi dapat membawa seseorang jauh dari Tuhan; materi itu bisa berbahaya
-Kondisi materi seseorang bukanlah spiritual parameter
Orang yang kaya bisa memiliki hidup yang lebih spiritual daripada orang yang miskin.
Begitu pula sebaliknya.
-Bagaimana kita menggunakan materi, itu terserah anda; yang terpenting adalah untuk apa kita gunakan materi itu, dan kita dapat mempertanggungjawabkannya pada Allah.

Focus on God

2008-08-17T16:20:00.000-07:00

Pastor Victor lead our sunday service today.
His message came from Matthew-when Jesus and His disciples were sailing on the sea.
The church is the ship; we must cross the lake; out from our comfort zone, and spread the gospel. However, that does not mean we won't face any storm; we will. Yet, stay focus on God, and you will do fine.
The gym was packed today; lots of DVC student, Welcomeeee!!!

Give thanks

2008-08-10T22:15:00.000-07:00

"apa yang kau rela untuk berikan, itulah yang Tuhan lihat"
Tak peduli kau memberi $100, tapi bila kau sebenarnya hanya rela $5, $5 dollar lah yang Tuhan lihat.
Ayat bacaan di ambil dari Markus 12:41-44.
Dalam memberi persembahan, haruslah dengan kerelaan, cinta dan ucapan syukur; bukan memberi untuk mendapatkan berkat. Kita sudah di berkati oleh Tuhan, sudah sepantasnya kita bersyukur oleh karenanya.

Be Holy

2008-08-03T22:35:00.000-07:00

Today is the first sunday without Pastor Hengkie.
Pastor Eric Lapp lead today sermon on how we are connected through God.
The topic was derived from Matthew 28:16-20
you cannot be a pro-founding influence if you don't know about it.
As a christian, we are supposed to be holy;
we need to be transformed to be like God-
love your God,
love your neighbors.
And that's how we are connected to God;
because we have the same purpose for life, be Holy!

And for the lunch, it was provided by Tante Yana, Curry chicken, tahu balado, and various vegi. THank you tante Yana.

Pelita!

2008-07-27T23:06:00.000-07:00

Less people came today, but the worship team were still on fire singing for God.hehe

Edo lead the music team
with Cath and Amanda played keyboard;
Arrio and Ben played Bass and Guitar,
Hendra with his drum,
Astrid and Daniel as singers.

Pastor Hengkie memimpin kotbah setelah kembali dari liburan seminggu dengan keluarga.
Ayat bacaan di ambil dari Lukas 11:33-36
Pelita yang dimaksud Yesus : Iman
Fungsi dari Pelita : cahaya (untuk menerangi orang lain/ menjadi berkat)
Apa yang perlu diperhatikan : perhatikanlah supaya terangmu tidak menjadi redup atau menghilang (kita kerap kali membatasi cahaya kita untuk menjadi berkat bagi sesama).

Menu makan siang....Gado-gado; with Sago as dessert.

Youth Gathering

2008-07-26T13:23:00.000-07:00

Another Youth Gathering this year!!!
Llyod shared on how to view everything positively. We might happen to feel dissapointed or encounter failure in our everyday life, but we should always remember that everything which happened was not outside God's purpose on us; therefore, think positively and move on. Daniel then continued the talk; it's about bitterness in life and how to think positively. The topic then expanded to our everyday life's issue: cheating in exam, relationship, etc. In short summary, we should not judge/compare others with what we are doing; do your own thing which you think is the correct way.
Good news.. music team grows in number, Amanda, Astrid and Ben joined our music team.
And, thank you for Daniel who coordinated the event and prepared the fun game.

Indonaz 9th Anniversary

2008-07-20T22:32:00.000-07:00

9 years ago, Indonesian Church of Nazarene began their service.
Happy Birthday to Indonaz!!!!!!
We had a cake and simple decoration for the celebration.
Also, congratulations to the new music director that has been announced today, Catherine Muljadi.
Pastor Hengkie talked about us be a blessing for others (Genesis 12:1-3)
The passage was taken from Abraham's way of life.
After that, angklung group performed at the end of the sermon.
3 Worship Leader were on the stage today, with Mei-Mei Tan as the head.
Edo helped the backup singers Sandy and Petra, while Lloyd sang along and played guitar.
Aside, the committee of Indonaz-San_Ramon has been established today; let's pray that this new service really be a blessing for others.
And.....Happy Birthday to Pastor Hengkie.

A New Beginning

2008-07-13T22:52:00.000-07:00

Happy Sunday!!!
today, Indonaz grows more.
Di mulai dengan musik team; kita ada drummer baru, Daniel!!!!
spending summer di dvc sambil belajar drum di gereja.
second, panitia perintis indonaz-san_ramon diresmikan minggu depan
Lastly,.....
Kita ada pengkotbah baru, Stefanus Jasin!!!
Stefanus shared ama kita tentang iman.
Dimulai dengan bagaimana kita menanggapi iman. Apakah hanya dengan iman semua bisa teratasi ?
Apakah cukup dengan iman, kita bisa sembuh dari penyakit ?
2 ayat alkitab dikutib, Matius 7:7-9 dan Markus 9:17-27.
Adalah wajar apabila ada keraguan di dalam iman kita kepada Tuhan.
Abraham di minta Tuhan untuk pergi tanpa membawa apapun, tapi dia tetap membawa beberapa hartanya sebelum keluar dari tempat tinggalnya menuju tempat yang dijanjikan Tuhan.
Musa pun berdiskusi dengan Tuhan sebelum pada akhirnya dia bersedia untuk diutus ke Mesir.
beberapa poin penting dari 2 ayat yang dibahas:
1. Tidak semua permintaan kita akan dikabulkan.
Analogy: Apabila orangtua kita bertanya, mau apa dari indonesia untuk dibawa ke US, itu tidak berarti kita bisa meminta apa saja dan akan dikabulkan.
2. Permohonan ditolak bukan berarti kurang iman.
Allah (orangtua kita) memiliki pengetauhan tentang apakah yang benar-benar kita butuhkan. jadi apabila permohonan kita tidak dikabulkan, itu bukan sepenuhnya karena kita kurang beriman.

And....Happy Birthday to Robbie Hidayat, Mei-Mei Chua, and Lloyd's Mom.

Joint Service

2008-06-29T21:24:00.000-07:00

We have joint service today!!
Our music team presented the song, Yesus, lead by Edo.
Since it is a joint service, each congregation took part for the sermons.
English congregation shared about Father Abraham.
How Abraham had been tested to sacrifice his only son. How he reacted instantly as soon as God commanded him; he was not even thinking when to sacrifice his son, he started moving right the next morning. He believed that God has His own plan and he will follow everything.

Spanish shared about living in harmony. many nations worship one God.
Korean shared about being Jesus's servant of righteousness; we already paid in full by the blood of Jesus, so our life is for Him.

Indonesian shared about how you should follow God.
One who loves his daughter more than Him, is not worthy of Him.
One who loves his mother or father more than Him, is not worthy of Him.

Lastly, POTLUCK!!!!! and today, we have lots and lots and lots of good food. hehehe

Baptism

2008-06-22T20:07:00.000-07:00

Today, Arrio shared with us about his spiritual journey before he got baptized.
from a skeptic person, he chose to be baptized.
how is that possible? anything can happen :D
He mentioned that if you always wait and wait to follow God, waiting for His sign, etc
you will end up with nothing. Not even getting close to God.
Therefore, commit to God first and He will guide you to know Him bit by bit.
Pastor Hengkie was the one who baptized him, and Pastor Victor prayed for him.

Happy Father's Day

2008-06-15T16:31:00.000-07:00

Hari ini papa-papa diuji pengetauhannya..apa warna favorite istrinya masing2.
seru..ternyata ga semua orang tau walaupun sudah berkeluarga :p
kotbah hari ini, related to perumpamaan anak yang hilang
why did the father let his son go ? he wants to his child to learn, from his wrong doings.
why the father did not look for his child ? because the father knows that his child knows the way back home
why did the father still welcome his child ? because he loves his child!
Ternyata papa itu orang yang sangat considerate :D

we sang DU(Desiring You) song, Sweetterrrrrrrr.
Everyday with You Lord
Is sweeter than the day before
Everyday with You Lord
sweeter than the day before

Every morning I will worship,
every evening I'll adore
Cause everyday with You is sweeter,
sweeter than the day before

Lastly, happy birthday Eugenie.

Yesus

2008-06-08T22:10:00.000-07:00

Yesus, Kau lah sahabatku
Yesus, Kau yang akan selalu berada disisiku
Kau sumber kuatku
Yesus, Kau lah sahabatku
Yesus, kau yang tak pernah jemu-jemu disisiku
Kau sumber kuatku

A good song's reff yang remind kita kalau kita tidak pernah sendiri
and kita nyanyi 2 kali hari ini, still people ga jemu-jemu nyanyi :P
Terus disambung ama kotbah pastor Hengkie tentang "melayani ama tanggungjawab"
di jelaskan kalau Tuhan Yesus datang ke dunia untuk melayani
dan kita pun sebagai pengikutnya dianjurkan untuk saling melayani satu sama lain.
perumpamaan : Yesus mencuci kaki murid-muridnya

lastly, Tante Titin (Hartati Santoso) ulang tahun minggu kemarin..happy birthday!!

2008-05-18T18:52:00.000-07:00

We have a new guest speaker today, Pastor Boya Faust. He delivered a great message about Spreading God's Word all over the world. He presented us with many interesting statistics about Christians in other countries, especially Indonesia! Pastor Hengkie said, Pst. Boya has more knowledge about Indonesian facts and history than he does. We learned a lot today from him. Thank you very much, Pst. Boya!

New singer today : Petra M. =)

New song : I Know Who I Am (by Israel Houghton) -- not an easy song for the musicians and singers to learn, but we managed. hahaha.

It's final week in DVC and UC Berkeley, so good luck to you all students!!

Mulai hari ini (Minggu ini) kebaktian Indonaz kembali dimulai pada pk.11:00 pagi. Sama seperti dulu pada waktu awal2 kita kebaktian di Jones Building. I think it works very well today. Karna masih pertama kali, dimaklumilah kalau jam 11:00 masih sedikit yang baru datang. Jadi tadi kita mulainya juga agak telat, jam 11:08? hehehe. Moga2 di minggu2 yang akan datang jemaat bisa datang lebih early, jadi kita bisa benar2 mulai jam 11am.

Photos are posted, klik on the picture above to see today's album. Somehow, ada extra "Sungai Sukacita" mengalir di Indonaz hari ini. Check out the pictures, banyak yang smilessss =D (contoh : ya foto di atas itu =p)

Pembawa Damai

2007-12-16T17:55:00.000-08:00

click to see today's picts

Lukas 1:78-79
Misi damai sejahtera Yesus :
1.menciptakan damai antara kita dan Allah yang telah rusak oleh dosa.
2.menciptakan damai antar manusia. Dan untuk ini, Ia membutuhkan kita untuk membantu Ia membawa damai.

-Tetapi, kita sering menjadi perusak damai instead of pembawa damai(Amsal 26:21)
Untuk mereka yang selalu berusaha hidup rukun (pembawa damai), Allah akan memberkati kita; seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Mazmur 133:1-13

- kita juga sering menjadi pemalsu damai.
Kita memberikan arti damai itu amat dangkal. Yang normal, bebas dari tensi, dari argumentasi. Pemalsu damai rela mengorbankan perintah Tuhan yang lain demi damai.
Ex: kita sering tau orang itu bersalah, tetapi kita sering tidak menegur supaya hubungan tetap baik.

- Tuhan memanggil kita untuk menjadi pembawa damai
Zakaria 8:19 Maka cintailah kebenaran dan damai!"
Yesaya 32:17 Di mana ada kebenaran di situ akan tumbuh damai sejahtera, dan akibat kebenaran ialah ketenangan dan ketenteraman untuk selama-lamanya.
hidup dalam kebenaran dan damai -> ketenangan dan ketentraman.

Natal Indonaz

2007-12-15T23:17:00.000-08:00

Hadiah Yang Terbaik

2007-12-13T09:56:00.000-08:00

Next week we will celebrate Christmas...come saturday 15th, 6pm
and, last sunday, we did baptism on Suryadi, Devine, and Winsen.

Sermon by Pdt.Hengkie

Sebuah pemberian bisa menjadi berarti bila :
1) Pengorbanan
2) Diberikan dengan hati yang tulus
3) Didasari dengan rasa cinta kasih
4) memang dibutuhkan
5) Nilai nominal yang tinggi

Hadiah apa yang paling istimewa dalam peristiwa natal ? Yesus
Dia memenuhi 5 kriteria ini dengan lengkap.
- Yesus berkorban dengan menjadi manusia, melewati tahap2 kesusahan sebagai manusia, dan mati di kayu salib.
- Ia tidak dipaksa atau tidak terpaksa untuk berkorban. Dia dengan tulus melakukan itu karena Dia mencintai kita.
- Dan, pengorbanannya memiliki nilai yang tinggi, yang dapat menebus kita semua.

Apabila Yesus sudah rela untuk berkorban demi kita, Apakah kita sudah membalas kasihnya ?
- Tidak perlu selalu berwujud materi.
Tuhan mau diri kita (hati kita) sebagaimana Dia telah memberikan diriNya kepada kita.

Pemilihan Majelis

Knowing You

2007-11-11T23:33:00.000-08:00

theme song of today,
Knowing You
All I once held dear, built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this

Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you, there is no greater thing
You're my all, You're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

Now my heart's desire is to know you more
To be found in you and known as yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All-surpassing gift of righteousness

Oh, to know the power of your risen life
And to know You in Your sufferings
To become like you in your death, my Lord
So with you to live and never die

Ketika Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya dalam perjalanan, tibalah Ia di sebuah kampung. Seorang perempuan yang bernama Marta menerima Dia di rumahnya. Perempuan itu mempunyai seorang saudara yang bernama Maria. Maria ini duduk dekat kaki Tuhan dan terus mendengarkan perkataan-Nya, sedang Marta sibuk sekali melayani. Ia mendekati Yesus dan berkata: "Tuhan, tidakkah Engkau peduli, bahwa saudaraku membiarkan aku melayani seorang diri? Suruhlah dia membantu aku."

Martha and Maria

Apa yang dikerjakan oleh Martha, bukan sesuatu yang buruk. Tuhan tidak mengatakan, Martha, apa yang kalo lakukan adalah buruk, tapi Tuhan mengatakan, Maria melakukan sesuatu yang terbaik, yang tidak mungkin diambil darinya

manusia tidak hidup hanya oleh makanan jasmani, tapi juga oleh makanan rohani.

I korintus 6:12 Segala sesuatu halal bagiku, tetapi bukan semuanya berguna. Segala sesuatu halal bagiku, tetapi aku tidak membiarkan diriku diperhamba oleh suatu apapun.

2 Timotius 3:16 Segala tulisan yang diilhamkan Allah memang bermanfaat untuk mengajar, untuk menyatakan kesalahan, untuk memperbaiki kelakuan dan untuk mendidik orang dalam kebenaran.

Wahyu 2:2-4 Aku tahu segala pekerjaanmu: baik jerih payahmu maupun ketekunanmu. Aku tahu, bahwa engkau tidak dapat sabar terhadap orang-orang jahat, bahwa engkau telah mencobai mereka yang menyebut dirinya rasul, tetapi yang sebenarnya tidak demikian, bahwa engkau telah mendapati mereka pendusta. Dan engkau tetap sabar dan menderita oleh karena nama-Ku; dan engkau tidak mengenal lelah. Namun demikian Aku mencela engkau, karena engkau telah meninggalkan kasihmu yang semula.

Siapa yang paling mungkin mengalami kelelahan roh ? semua orang :D

Apakah mungkin, kita melakukan pelayanan, tapi mengalami kekeringan roh ? yang melakukan pelayanan hanya sebagai rutinitas ? ya, itu bisa terjadi pada setiap orang.

Mid Year

2007-07-01T22:37:00.000-07:00

Here we are, right in the middle of 2007. Indonaz is starting our second half of the year with Holy Communion ^_^ Worship time today very simple and nice. Martha picked this old song, Tinggikan DiriMu by GMB, the song started beautifully with a solo by William L. Sounded very good! Many were blessed by this :) thx WL!

And we have a new musician : Ario. Great job today with the Bass!

Pst. Hengkie talked about Isaiah 54:2-3 today. This scripture memang punya several meanings ya. I was blessed by the song of this verse few weeks ago "Lapangkanlah tempat kemahmu... bentangkan tenda.... jangan menghemat... " and am blessed again by the sermon. Thx Pst. H!

Great food today by the Milpitas Family =) Their gado2 is always my favorite =D

and welcome Irene Hartadi! Fresh from Shanghai! hihihi... good to see you today.

HUT INDONAZ VIII

2007-06-24T23:59:00.000-07:00

Happy Anniversary, Indonaz!
Eight Years !! Hip Hip Huraaaahh (kata Pak Afen =P)

Hari Bapak 2007

2007-06-17T23:46:00.001-07:00

Happy Father's Day!

Hari ini gak seramai hari ibu last month, cuma ada beberapa bapak2 yang bisa dateng jadi gereja agak sepi. But not really affecting spirit kebaktian and acara2 hari ini :) Today, like what Pst. Hengkie said, we give praise and worship to our Father in Heaven, and celebrate our gratefulness for our fathers on earth. Lagu hari ini jadi banyak bertema : Bapa. (kemaren latihan musik jadi sadar, ternyata lagu bertema Bapa itu buanyak sekali!!)

After sermon, we presented a simple slideshow buat bapak2, isinya kalimat2 dari anak2 (some sunday school, some older) for their fathers. It was really cute. Nia said "Daddy, I love it when we spend time together"... awwwww. (there were lots of awwww). For the complete presentation, klik the picture below.

Then Pst. Hengkie called all the bapak2 maju ke depan, trus instead of flowers kaya di Mother's Day, bapak2 dapet T-Shirts. Tulisannya macem2, ada DAD, Grandpa, Coolest Dad, etc etc. They loved it and langsung dipake saat itu juga!!

The food?? hohoho .... the best!! Kaum ibu2 selalu punya ide unik buat appreciate para bapak, kali ini temanya LESEHAN. Jadi mereka siapin tikar gedeeee buat bapak2 duduk berleseh.
Here's the menu : Ikan goreng (Satu bapak satu ekor!), nasi kuning+abon, ayam goreng kalasan, perkedel, urap2, sambel goreng tahu+tempe, mi goreng campur, and kerupuk udang. Terus buat dessert, ada buah2an segar dipotong2 & ditaro di keranjang semangka. (Liat foto deh, susah jelasinnya)

Happy Birthday to EUGENIE TJAHJADI !!
Kata Pst. H, bday kali ini dikasih kado anjing kecil, hari ini dibawa tuh, keciiiilll. so cute.

Congratulation for Monica Tanuwidjaja, master graduate from Stanford University. Sayang kita gak bisa rame2 dateng soalnya commencement waktu kebaktian. Tapi foto2nya tetep ditunggu yaaah!! Congrats again!!

Church Anniversary next week!!!
Don't miss it!! See yaaaaaa

Lapangkanlah Tempat Kemahmu

2007-06-10T21:15:00.000-07:00

Thats the new song for today, diambil dari Yesaya 54:2-3,

Lapangkanlah tempat kemahmu

Bentangkan tenda kediamanmu

Jangan menghemat, panjangkan talinya

Dan pancangkan kokoh patokmu

S'bab engkau kan mengembang ke kanan ke kiri

Keturunanmu kan memproleh bangsa bangsa

Dan mendiami kota kota sunyi

Siapkanlah dirimu

Amin. =)

It was a simple song, susah dinyanyiin pertama2 (musik jg), tapi punya arti yang indah. I was personally blessed by this song. Thx to Rev. Benny Tan.

We have a new guitarist today : Alvin

Welcome to our music ministry!! Jadi ada dua Alvin di pelayanan musik deeee ^_^ Both are very talented musicians.

Welcome back buat Stevani! -- Visiting From Georgia, and bantu motret2, and bantu choir juga. horeee... jadi ada dua Steffi dee ... =D -- its double2 day. hihihi

Happy Birthday, Tante Titin!!

Thanks to Lloyd and Ronald yg bawa makanan hari ini. Plus ada eskrim se-ember. wah wah pas deh, hari ini Concord lagi panaaaaaas. Summer comes early this year.

Next week, Father's Day!!

Datang yahhh

Its June Already!!

2007-06-03T17:56:00.000-07:00

Seperti yg dikatakan worship leader kita today, gk kerasa tau2 udah bulan Juni, udah mau pertengahan tahun 2007. June is a busy month! Panitia retreat, panitia hari bapak, dan panitia hut are going to be meeting a LOT this couple of weeks! Many important events coming up. God has blessed us so much in the past five months, but I believe the best of 2007 is still yet to come ^_^

Our service began today with a major technical difficulty, projector buat power point gak mau nyala!! wadoh wadoh. Pada panik semua deh. Kabel2 & alat2 dikutak katik, dicoba2, test2, colok2, tepok2, masih gk nyala juga. Worship team lumayan concern soal fast praise-songs, gk mungkin lagu Awesome in This Place bisa dinyanyiin tanpa text. Udah baru, cepet, di awal2, bhs inggris lageh! Tapi setelah semua creative ideas dikeluarin (like lagu2 cepet dipelanin, or pake OHP, or fotocopy all music sheets buat jemaat, or Martha lead with Winsen bacain text, etc. etc) akhirnya kita pake portable video projector, tarik kabel panjaaaaang, and ppt bisa dinyalain. Horeeee. God is Awesome in this place! ^^

Then the worship service went smoothly. Ada persembahan lagu dari Bapak dan Ibu Halimwidjaya. As always, very inspiring =) Pdt. Hengkie challenged the youth, "anak muda bisa gak nyanyi tanpa musik?" hehehe... maybe we should try that sometimes =D

Happy birthday to Steffi & Lisbeth (Tia) !!

and thanks to Djatikusuma family for the SOTO yg super enakkk! *bisik2*dan sambelnya* hehehe

Memorial Day Weekend

2007-05-27T22:25:00.000-07:00

Long Weekend everyone!!!!! We all can see dari bangku-bangku kebaktian yang rada kosong hari ini. But it's okay, it doesn't affect our spirit to worship. Hari ini kebaktian kita dipimpin langsung dari awal sampe akhir oleh Pendeta Hengkie yang merangkap sebagai worship leader and pembawa firman ----with an exception baca warta (thanks Mon, udah bacain warta). Team music as usual led by our Captain: Catherine (hari ini dia maen 2 keyboard), and accompanied by our drummer: Hendra. Backupsinger kita minggu ini - DVC team : Nico and Steffi.

We also celebrate Tante Hannah's, Ronald's (even he's in Vegas), and Audry's birthday. God bless all of you. Biar banyak anggota kita yang vacation, hari ini kita ada surprise dari anggota jemaat kita yang sudah lama banget tidak muncul: Om Franklin, Tante Ratna and the Twins (wah udah gede banget). Indonaz juga ada anggota baru: Shelly (welcome!!!)

Sekarang kita move ke meja dapur, hari ini kita semua di served oleh Komisi Pemuda (yay!!!). Noodles, Broccoli & beef, and Pork Chop---nyam, nyam. Tapi ternyata banyak jemaat yang ke dapur nyariin sambel---memang orang Indo gak bisa makan tanpa sambel. All right everyone, you can enjoy the pictures from today's service and we will see you all next week. It's gonna be the first week of the new month.....

Mama Luar Biasa

2007-05-13T16:52:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day!!
What a special and lovely service we had today. First, we had a super special singers team : SORO (Satrio, Oscar, and ROnnie) they did a splendid job singing along with Pst. Hengkie. Boleh sering2 niehh! =D

From sunday school, Tabitha and Xiao2 read their letters to their mothers. "I love you, Mom. Selamat Hari Ibu." ^_^ so cute. And youth vocal group gk mo kalah cute, they sang a song thats 600yrs old *kt om* -- Ma Ma Hao in Mandarin!!

There were many many testimonies about mothers today. I think this is the most testimony we have for mother's day, perhaps more than thanksgiving! hahaha. Here's what they say about their mothers,
Tante Agnes - her mother was her best friend,
Tante Deborah - her mother was a strong woman, she was her best teacher,
Tante Eva - her mother raised 6 children by herself, taught them all to be independent,
Om Benny & Om Ronnie - their mothers were very persistant in taking them to church & reading the bible
Oscar - his mother is his best supporter
Arrio - his mother is a very positive woman, very encouraging -
plus he sang a self-written song =)
Om Satrio - his mother raised 12 children!! and he got his cooking talent from her =D

The phrase that came up often was: Mamaku Luar Biasa *my mother is awesome. We wont be where we are, or who we are if not because of our mothers. We thank God for everything our mother has done for us =)

and today, the mothers in indonaz got special treatment. There were two round tables decorated and prepared for mothers & wives only. They got to eat Satrio's special prime-rib, mashed potato & vegetables. It looks like 5-star restaurant entree!! Trus ada udang goreng, cumi goreng, garlic bread, fresh fruit & dessert. Behh ... .yg lain ngiler2 aja dipinggir2 meja. hahahah. Gak lah, there were plenty of food for us too (minus primerib). The fathers worked really hard since last week. They really appreciate their wives and mothers =)

CARWASH

2007-05-05T20:48:00.000-07:00

Car Wash!

Finally, the 1st carwash for our 2007 Retreat. The weather was good, a bit windy, but not too cold/too hot. There were some generous people, and there were some... 'okay'people with big trucks! Hueheheh... One person just donated money to Joyce at the intersection without having his car washed. hihihi. Compared to past carwash events, today not so many cars stopped by. Maybe because of the rain we had in the past few days. But we had our fun =D (Meskipun pada bengkak2 gara2 pollen) Hopefully more people will show up for the next car wash.

Joint Service

2007-04-29T23:29:00.001-07:00

Today, we had a multi-cultural-congregation service. English, Spanish, Indonesian and Korean church have one service in sanctuary together at 10:30am. It's a little bit too early for indonesian (our regular service starts at 11:15am) but some of us came even earlier --> choir practice, lipet2 warta, sibuk2 dapur, etc2.

Service started with praise and worship from the English worship band, we sang Awesome is The Lord Most High and How Great is Our God lead by Pst. Eric Lapp. It felt good to sing together as a one big church. Jarang2 liat sanctuary penuh. hehehe.

After that, each congregation pastor gave 5-min sermon, followed by music presentation. Pst. Hengkie went first, followed by the choir. =D They sang "Kucinta Kau", accompanied by piano and power-point. No photograph was taken at this time (all photographers were unavailable -- MJ(choir), Monica(usher), Martha(powerpoint), Cath(piano). huwaaa) So .... until I find someone else took the picture, here's the powerpoint.-_-"

lunch time, lots and lots of food! There are two looong tables filled with food from various cultural background. Ada bulgoki, kimchee, fishcakes, lasagna, chicken in at least 5 different kinds, and much2 more. From Indo church, Martha cooked at least two big pots of semur and fried wonton. It was at the other end of the long table so banyak org2 indo langsung loncat kesana ajah. Hahaha. Masih panas2 ngepul2. nyammmm. Enakk.

Indah Pada Waktunya

2007-04-22T23:59:00.000-07:00

Itulah tema kotbah kita minggu ini yang dibawakan oleh Ev. Benny Tan. This week, we all have been shocked by the Virginia Tech incident. Want to know more about it? Kalian bisa langsung baca di Indonaz reflection.

Minggu ini kebaktian kita langsung dipimpin sama Gembala kita, Om Hengkie. It's part of our new "culture" setiap kali ada Guest Speaker preach in our church. Terus kita juga mau welcome to our new Bass Player------MJ. Yay....you did an awesome job.

Happy Birthday buat Tante Irma and thanks juga buat Om Satrio and Tante Marie for the delicious food (ayam nya enak banget).

Last but not least.....a friendly reminder.....you're all invited to the Joined Service next week. Jangan lupa 10:30 am. You don't want to miss our choir performance.

We'll see you all and have a blessed week.

Palm Sunday

2007-04-01T23:45:00.000-07:00

First Sunday of April 2007, the Palm Sunday. I can't believe Easter is only 7 days away, seems like we just celebrated Christmas. (heyyy,who has our last Christmas pictures?!?! Minta donkss!!). We had a good Sunday Service today. We started ontime loh! Banyak yg dateng juga meskipun lagi musim Spring Break. Malah ada Two new students from DVC, yay!

One thought, since we moved to the Gym, we have less inteference from the sound system during the service. (Biasanya kan suka ada ngiiiiiingg, or mesti tuker2 microphone gr2 ada yg gk nyala, or ada krek krek krek di ampli depan.) I noticed this because today, gak ada yg berdiri di belakang buat atur2 suara. I guess its because we have more time setting up in the morning, so everything was taken care of before the service =)

Happy Birthday to Martha, Jessica, Jeffrey S. & Ruth (Uti)

(too bad Ko Jeffrey couldnt come to church today, but thanks to his Mom & Tt. Agnes, we enjoyed special birthday lunch today. Chicken Steak & Gado2. Yumm!)

Sang Greget

2007-03-31T12:08:00.000-07:00

Jangan katakan bahwa Dia besar, dahsyat, berkuasa, selalu kuat. Lihat... sekali lagi... lihat. Langkahnya gontai, mataNya nanar. Lebih banyak Ia memandang kebawah, lelah otot bahuNya, tak lagi Ia mampu menegakkan kepalaNya memandang Golgota. Jika Getsemani hanya mampu memeras keringatNya seperti butiran darah, maka Via Dolorosa menguras darahNya bagaikan keringat yang mengucur. Siapakah yang peduli, siapakah yang masih berani menyapa, “Guru!; Rabi!; Mesias!”? Semua bibir terkatub, semua mata tertutup, pengikutNya memilih hening, menyaksikan drama kolosal nyata dari kejauhan. Dengar! Kalian dengar! Yah, tidak salah, itu adalah suara tangisan wanita. Mereka datang dari Yerusalem, bersedu-sedan entah karena pribadi Yesusnya atau semata karena tragis penderitaanNya yang membuat ngilu di dada. Yesus menoleh, dengan terbata meminta agar mereka menangisi kemalangan mereka beserta dengan keturunan mereka sendiri. Sindirankah ini? Atau sebuah peringatan akan datangnya sejarah hitam di kemudian hari?

Duhai hati, engkau mampu membuat rekonstruksi. Dengan segala detil menjabarkan peristiwa tragis itu lalu membawa haru dalam diri. Duhai pengertian, engkau mampu memberi arti. Menggali, mengembangkan, menafsirkan, lalu menarik kesimpulan-kesimpulan yang dikemas dalam statement indah, mulia, penuh kata-kata asing yang susah. Tetapi, ... duhai inti jati diri, dimana gregetmu? Greget yang bukan saja dapat membuat mata menangis, tetapi juga merasa apa yang Dia rasa, mencari apa yang Dia cari, berlari kemana Dia pergi.

Ini ... ini, pegang dia... tangkap... jangan biarkan lari. Dudukkan dia, ikat tangannya, buka paksa mata dan telinganya. Agar dia, si inti jati diri, memandang tak berkedip, mendengar tak tersisip, terpaku pada pemandangan dan berita dari Salib. Agar dia dapat menangis, yah... menangis bersama wanita-wanita Yerusalem itu. Bukan menangisi matinya Yesus, tetapi menangisi matinya sang greget; greget untuk mengerti Yesus, greget untuk mencari Yesus, greget untuk mengikut Yesus, dan greget untuk melayani dan hidup bagi Yesus.

Tetapi jangan berhenti disana - kadang si inti jati diri malas, terbius dengan pengharapan palsu atau pengetahuan ragu - bawa dia, jika perlu seret dia, agar jangan berlama-lama terpukau pada Golgota, menyaksikan Yesus meregang nyawa. Tegakkan dia di muka kubur itu. Putar ulang pertunjukan sejarah besar: Yesus menguak tabir kematian, berjalan keluar dalam cahaya hidup kebangkitan. Sampai bibirnya bergumam, mulai dari seruan kecil hingga teriakan besar, “ hidup!, ...hidup!, ...hidup!, ...hidup!, ...Hidup! ... Gregetku hidup kembali, bersama Yesus yang hidup!”

Last week of March 2007

2007-03-25T19:40:00.000-07:00

Here are some photos taken from today's service. Kbanyakan foto beres2 tapi =P

Service went well today, some people came early to set up. Hendra, Nico, Asher and William setup the stage & sound system - Lloyd, Ronald, and Robby setup the chairs, partitions, etc. Mestinya tadi di videoin tuh waktu taro2 chairnya, cepet bangets, di angkat2, oper2, lempar2, atur2, tuingg! Done! Very efficient! =D

Akhirnya kita Worship Team bisa practice our ALL SEVEN SONGS before the service. What a difference. No more "huh?","what key!" or "ow iyaaa!!"

Oooo I should have taken some picture of Music Practice yesterday!! Since it's not practical for us to practice in Sanctuary anymore, we have to practice in the Gym on Saturday. Tapi jam 3 sore tuh ada youth gereja korea main basket. Jadi kaya our Tuesday Badminton gitu kali ya. So kita gak enak kalo suruh mereka gak main (We couldnt reschedule our practice time, its the only time we had). Jadiiii ... while they were playing basketball, kita latihan deh tuh di panggung, semua alat2 musik, speaker2, ampli2, pemain musik, worship leader and singers, mepet2 di panggung yg kecil ituh!! hahahaha... (edit: stage yg diatas, yg orange, gk ada yg abu2/ungu. So its rillli small) It was very very awkward, yet practice went well. Anggep aja kita skalian blessed their game. weheheheheh.

Good food from the Purnawans today =D banyak yg nambah deh. Ayamnya wuenakkkk.

Finally, our first service back in the Gym. Meskipun awal2nya banyak pusink2, heboh2, repot2, pindah2, angkat2 bangku, beres2, kabel ilank, cymbal drum ilank, kertas lagu2 ilank (arrgh!!) ..... but the service went very very well =) Music sounded great, Powerpoint looked awesome, Choirs both Youth and Pleasanton group, mantap! =D Worship Service went smoothly, finally the congregation can praise and worship together as one! It really made a difference.

After service, langsung makan deeee. Gak usah jalan jauh2, langsung antri di belakang =D

One thing we missed from our lunch time in gym, seating together. Biasanya abis ambil mkn, duduknya pada tersebar jauh2. Anak2 muda di pinggir2 panggung, org2 dewasa deket2 dapur, I usually stayed in the kitchen malah. Today, duduknya balik lg k bangku jemaat donks =) Ngumpul & melingkar2 lagi. Hehehe... Makanan hari ini, again, buanyakk! Pak Rudy & Linda, i think, were also celebrating our moving back to Gym. Hihihi... thanks a bunch, yah. Especially for the yummy desserts! ^^

Enjoy the photos ( sorry banyak yg burem, will fix the camera soon)
