You are invited to this fun-filled afternoon to celebrate Lunar New Year. Our host, Rev. Jeremiah Lee, ran a Chinese restaurant as part of his family business and he is a wonderful chef! He will teach us how to make dumplings (including vegetarian), and we will all eat together.

While we encourage you to bring your own knife and cutting board due to the large number of ingredients to be prepared, please note that no culinary skills are required.

We believe learning about one another’s cultures and sharing around the table will help us expand our perspectives on the world and accept each other more openly. Come celebrate the Lunar New Year with us, learn a few things, make more friends, and share Jesus’ love. Please bring your families and friends to this fun, family-friendly event. We look forward to seeing many of you.
