Mrs. Jamie Ong
CALL TO WORSHIP*
Mrs. Jamie Ong
Psalm 24:7-10
Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
CONFESSION OF SIN*
Together
God of birth, God of joy, God of life,
we come to you as a people hungry for good news.
We have been so dead to miracles
that we have missed the world’s rebirth.
We have preoccupied ourselves with pleasures
and have overlooked the joy you offer us.
We have been so concerned with making a living
that we have missed the life you set among us.
Forgive us, gracious God.
Open our eyes and our hearts to receive your gift;
open our lips and hands to share it with all humanity
in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ.\
Amen.
TIME OF SILENT CONFESSION*
Together
ASSURANCE OF PARDON*
Mrs. Jamie Ong
Acts 10:43, NRSV
All the prophets testify about Christ
that everyone who believes in him
receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
CONFESSION OF FAITH*
The Westminster Larger Catechism
Together
Each Sunday, we will go over three questions and answers from the Westminster Larger Catechism to help children and adults grow in understanding and apply God’s Word in daily life.
The Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism together are called the Westminster Standards, produced by the Westminster Assembly in England between 1643 and 1649. They provide a faithful summary of Christian doctrine taught in Scripture, guiding the church in confessing and growing in the truths of God’s Word.
The Westminster Standards help us:
Grow in theological clarity and understanding of Scripture.
Develop spiritual formation for all ages.
Maintain unity in belief, confessing the same truths together.
Connect with a rich historical legacy of faithful Christians who have used these standards to guide the church.
Q10. What is proper to the three persons in the Godhead?
It is proper to the Father to beget the Son, to the Son to be begotten of the Father, and to the Holy Spirit to proceed from the Father and the Son from all eternity.
Q11. How do we know that the Son and the Holy Spirit are God, equal with the Father?
The Scriptures show that the Son and the Holy Spirit are God, equal with the Father, by ascribing to them such names, attributes, works, and worship as are proper to God only.
Q12. What are the decrees of God?
God’s decrees are the wise, free, and holy acts of the counsel of his will, by which from all eternity he has unchangeably foreordained everything that ever happens, for his own glory, especially concerning angels and mankind.

Songs of Grace
Who You Say I Am
Ben Fielding, Reuben Morgan © 2017 Hillsong Music Publishing Australia / CCLI #1770735
Who am I that the highest King would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in, oh His love for me
Oh His love for me
Who the Son sets free, oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, yes I am
Free at last He has ransomed me His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin, Jesus died for me
Yes, He died for me
Who the Son sets free, oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, yes I am
In my Father’s house, there’s a place for me
I’m a child of God, Yes I am
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
Filled with Glory
Lisa Gungor, Michael Gungor © 2005 Integrity Worship Music, Replied Music / CCLI #1770735
As we all bow down
As we all come casting off our crowns
Would You hear our cry
We want to see You glorified
Glorify Your name
Glorify Your name
Glorify Your name
We want to see You glorified
As we join as one
As we live to let Your Kingdom come
Father through our lives
We want to see You glorified
The earth will be filled with glory
Like water o'er the sea, filled with glory
The earth will be filled with glory
Like water o'er the sea

O Most High King of the ages

Who was and is and is forever

Song of Response
There Is A Higher Throne
Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty © 2002 Thankyou Music / CCLI #1770735
There is a higher throne
Than all this world has known
Where faithful ones from ev'ry tongue
Will one day come
Before the Son we'll stand
Made faultless through the Lamb
Believing hearts find promised grace
Salvation comes
Hear heaven's voices sing
Their thund'rous anthem rings
Through em'rald courts and sapphire skies
Their praises rise
All glory wisdom pow'r
Strength thanks and honour are
To God our King who reigns on high
Forever more
And there we'll find our home
Our life before the throne
We'll honour Him in perfect song
Where we belong
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King
We'll reign with Him

Global Missions Team

Contact Jamie Ong to indicate your interest.

The congregational/town hall meeting has been postponed to Sunday, 2/1, at 12:30 pm, after service.

Men’s Ministry (MM)
For 2026, the Men's Ministry will continue to meet on the 3rd Saturday of every month. We will be studying the book “Daniel: Standing Firm in Adversity” by Paul S.

The time has come! We will be having our annual Men's Retreat from April 17-19, 2026. Register here and join us for a great time getting to know one another, studying together and enjoying each other's company. If you have any questions, please reach out to Eric Kim.

This year, prayer breakfasts will take place on the 4th Saturday of each month. These meetings will take place in different people's homes. We will have a brief time of fellowship, large/small group prayer, and go through the the Psalms during large group.
As in the past two years, we will continue our smaller, consistent prayer groups during our monthly meetings. If you're interested in joining a group, please fill out this form for more information.

We'd like to gauge interest to help schedule dates and times for these workshops. If you are interested in participating, please sign up HERE. Here's a list of the topics and speakers that will be discussed. If you have any questions, please reach out to Martha Lew.
Faith & Work Ministry
We're excited to announce the launch of our new Vocational Affinity Groups starting in December! These groups are designed to be informal gatherings for mutual encouragement and support, fostering a sense of community among those who share similar professional experiences.
Health Care Affinity Group: For all those working in the diverse fields of health care. Please contact Ken Ng.
Business & Finance Affinity Group: For those in business, banking, accounting, and related financial sectors. Please contact Steve Kang.
Community Group (CG)
Our Community Groups are now open for the year! We want our community groups to be where you can experience what it truly means to belong to a gospel-centered community. Ephesians 2:19 says, “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” We were created for connection – not just with God, but with one another. Here are the community groups' details on our website.
We are looking for hosts! We need people willing to open their homes to a community group for the year (or even just one semester). If you are interested in hosting, please contact Peter Ong with your information.
LFCDC Nourish Flushing Food Pantry
We are still collecting any non-expired food donations right outside of the CAC sanctuary. If you are interested in learning more about our food pantry in Murray Hill or would like to get involved, please contact Noelle Yang.
Fellowship Ministry
Please be mindful of the shared space. Please clean up after yourselves in the Fellowship hall in the basement.
If you have a heart of hospitality and would like to serve with a dynamic group of individuals, please join the Fellowship Ministry!
CAC Friendly Reminders
Please remember to throw out your small communion cups in the trash on Sundays. Even though they are tiny, they can attract bugs and flies into the sanctuary if left there for a few days. Thank you!
The Well Cafe: It has come to our attention that many of our children are not being supervised after service and are hanging out at The Well. Please refrain from occupying that space if you are NOT a patron. Let's respect the business and be mindful of its operations.
Please do not flush any sort of sanitizing wipes down any toilet as we have been having plumbing issues on all floors of the building.
Let’s be mindful for our worship space and work together to keep it clean and organized.
After-Service this Sunday: Our presider and leader of prayer for today’s service will be available to pray with you towards the stage.
CHILDREN/YOUTH
Children’s Education Ministry:
Please see above for major CEM announcements.
Safety Reminders: After service, please keep an eye on your children or make sure there is a grown-up watching them. Let's all work to keep our children safe and be good stewards of the space we rent and our church's belongings. There are signs hanging throughout the basement as reminders. Please follow these guidelines. Thank you for your cooperation!
