Dear SNCC News Readers,

Praise our Lord that SNCC held the inauguration ceremony for Pastor Murakami as the pastor of SNCC in the afternoon on Feb. 16.

I uploaded the group pictures with those pastors who supported SNCC as messengers, during the absence of our own pastor from April 2013 to Jan. 19, 2014.

They held the regular morning service in the morning of Feb. 23.

They had 3 CS classes for 1) Adults, 2) Youth and 3) Elementary school kids after the service as usual.

They held the fellowship luncheon after the CS classes.

They also had a prayer meeting among Group Four members.

After these activities done, they held the general meeting for the budget of fiscal year 2014.

Below is the report on SNCC activities on Feb. 23, 2014.

1. Sunday Morning Service

a. Messenger: Pastor Masamichi Murakami of SNCC

2. Congregation for the service: 32 adults and 4 kids (3/16)

3. Prayer requests.

3-1. For the seekers among people who come to SNCC regularly. Some of these people wish to have baptism and preparing for it. Also for the family members of SNCC members who have not accepted Jesus as their savior.

3-2 For those who are in difficult situations physically as well as spiritually including members of SNCC and their families. Esp. for Ms. Kaoruko Yamamoto who has been in depression.

3-6 For the political leaders, esp. Abe Administration, not going farther away from our Lord’s will any more. Also for the Tokyo Mayor Election, may the right person be elected so that no unfair persecution to the teachers.at the occasion of raising the national flag and/or singing national anthem.

3-7 For those missionaries who are working overseas, and those working for Bible translations in Japan, esp. those whom SNCC are supporting such as Tomoko Matsuoka in Indonesia.
