Dana House Finales

michaelhfu — Fri, 15 May 2009 17:12:57 +0000

We’re down to the last 2 weeks at D-House. It seems we’re all in a flux: Seniors sleeping at random times due to finals, leftover food and laptops in a somewhat organized mess, and people (including the staff interns like me) still trying to find housing in Alameda. It’s hard to believe, but in 2 weeks this whole house will be emptied out. That’s why D-House Finales are always something special…

D House@ Willard for Softball//BBQ Night

That’s Dana House in 2007, when it was all staff and Bryan Song (aka Bree) from Austin was manager. That night we somehow got keys to the Willard Middle School lights on the softball field, and we BBQ’d a sumptuous meal, followed by 9 innings of softball. The highlight of the night was when Bree smacked the ball over the fence, and hit former Cal Quarterback Joe Ayoob’s house. He was fine with it, thankfully!

D House@ Fuddrucker's

This year we went to Fuddrucker’s in Emeryville for an all out feast! People had a hard time walking afterwards because most bros chose to eat 1 pound burgers…gross.

It’s been quite a ride at D House the past 3 years, and I’m sure we’ll all miss it. With 22 people packed into this house, we definitely have been living out the core value of “Getting Close” .

acts2fellowship senior sisters!

They said let’s take a “KJ’s guys” picture so I made them stand like this. KJ came up with his own pose though :]

It was awesome listening to the testimonies from the six seniors today and it made me so thankful to be a part of this community at Gracepoint Fellowship Church and acts2fellowship.

End of Year Celebration

David Park — Sun, 10 May 2009 07:27:46 +0000

This past Friday, a2f Blue had a celebration to commemorate the end of the school year and to send off our seniors into the real world! It was held at Gracepoint’s North Loop building in Alameda and each class prepared something to show. I can’t believe another school year has passed; time has really flown by and I can’t believe that my peers and I are becoming upperclassmen. Anyway, here are some pictures from that night.

Steve, Jackson, Mike, and Josh strike a pose.

Being a Part of Gracepoint Worship

michaelhfu — Thu, 07 May 2009 16:51:37 +0000

If you haven’t figured out by now, one of the ways I love serving in this church is through being a part of the Gracepoint Worship Team. Every Sunday, we lead our congregation in a time of worship, reflection, and a turning of hearts, minds, and emotions towards God. One of my favorite moments, which occurs every week, is to hear our church members belting out the songs and seeing people lose themselves in the music and words. It still gives me goosebumps to this day!

That pic above is taken from our Easter Service. I put that up there as an example of how much work goes into crafting a worship set. James Kim, worship director,chooses the set by Wednesday. We get together Thursday nights from 9 pm-11:30 at our NorthLoop building to practice, pray through the set, and of course laugh at each other’s mistakes. James’ quirky humor always keeps things lively. Sunday Mornings involve set up and run through right up to Prayer Meeting. For Easter Sunday though, we had a Saturday practice for I think almost 6 hours. My wrist was in some major pain for a week!

Without the people NOT on stage though, worship could never happen. There’s a whole team of people in the back of the auditorium running PROLOGUE, which is how you guys see the words to sing along with. Sound Stage and Lighting set up and run the lighting (look at the pic above and see an awesome example of this). Jackson Lao, Esther Im, and others run the sound board, mixing our instruments and vocals. Gracepoint Worship is just one example of our church coming together and working hard to glorify God.

By the way, I need to use this post to make a plug for a quite awesome blog, Gracepoint Worship of course. Check it out! You’ll see some hilarious vids and embarrassing pics. And posts about Worship, of course…..
