Welcome & 2/19/05 Bible study - Sharing Life with each other

Joyce and Steven led the study of Romans 15:14-33 at Jade's mom's home in Palo Alto. Theresa led the worship and ending prayers. Jenny brought snacks. Key take aways:

• St. Paul reminded us that we are full of God's grace and love, and that we are called to spread God's love to others around us.
  
• Cassandra story. Let keep praying that God's grace will soon change their lives.
• Hot Soup sharing. We are all longing the "Hot Soup", a little caring and love in our lives.
  
• Pillow Fight story. Just like kids, we are all looking for a little care-free quality time with each other.
  
• Comments about sharing "life" with each other Really BE THERE as we spend time with each other.
  
• Testimony about praying for those against us (Luke 6:27-28).
  

It was great that Dennis brought two new friends, Aichun and Jiali, from his research lab to our gathering today. Welcome!!

The group decided that we will study the 1 Corinthians after Romans.
