New Year’s Celebration
The annual New Year’s worship and reception of NCCK took place on Jan. 2 at the PCK Centennial Building auditorium. Because this year’s NCCK Moderator is Commander Park Jong Deok of Korean Salvation Army, the Salvation Army brass band accompanied the hymns and provided special music. Commander Park preached on the texts, Matthew 23:9-12 and Luke 16:13, entitling his sermon, the Greed of the Ordinary Church.
Prayers were offered highlighting Christian Unity by Methodist Moderator Rev. Im Jun Tek; Justice, Peace and Life by Lutheran Moderator Rev. Kim Cheol Hwan; and North and South Korea’s reconciliation so that we become one people by Rev. Jeo Seong Am.
The Eucharist was co-led by Rev. Lee Young Hoon and Rev. Kim Hae Sok.
A statement was read to encourage and challenge all in attendance with the title – Pray that in this land all people take it upon themselves to live in peace.
