Dear HoF Family,
Thank you for a wonderful fellowship tonight 6/6/23 discussing about the body and blood of Christ, how we experience receiving the Eucharist and the Precious Blood, and how blessed we are to receive Christ in the Holy Communion! Through sharing your experience, each understands and learns more the mystery of the Eucharist. God is so amazing in all his works!

We miss Keri tonight because she is celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary with her husband and pray that they will have many many many more years together! Sorry, no Keri – no meeting notes! ☹

Attached is our group picture at tonight's meeting. May we all have peace and joys in Christ always!

Peace and Grace,
Tracy Pham
