sad news of leaving Centreville Campus as he accepted

nary back in May of 2014,
pastor Dan continued to
serve as the youth pastor at

our students have grown
spiritually under his leadership.
Pastor Dan grew up in

Suvin underwent her second
major back surgery at the
Shrine Children’s Hospital in

the doctors saw her healing

by her courage and resolve
to be strong once again.
Pastor Tarah Lee’s Corner
On Monday May 11th Pastor
Tarah Lee will be graduating
from Wesley Theological Seminary with her Master of Divinity
degree. The graduation ceremony will take place at the National Cathedral in Washington

years at Wesley Seminary and now
I am looking forward to spending
more time our families and students at Centreville Campus.”
Starting June, Pastor Tarah

that our Next Generation Ministry

youth counselors, youth council
and F.A.T. program after Pastor
Dan leaves in May. We hope to
find another youth pastor by the
summer.

both their ministries will
find much fruit and blessings

Retreat 2015
Anna Prayer
Mountain
Retreat
Center
Know God or No God
On Friday March 27th,
Centreville Campus had their
second annual March retreat
at Anna Prayer Mountain Retreat Center. With the largest turnout of students, we
had 25 youth and 11 college /
young adult staff attend.
Pastor Dan Kim spoke to
us about the Prodigal Son and
the importance of drawing
near to God. We discovered
that both sons in this parable
didn’t want the father but
his possession. The students were challenged to
draw near to God for who
He and not what He will
give.
This retreat was special
as our former students and
leaders returned to help
support and build our youth
ministry. Please continue to
pray for each of our students.
Easter Sunday
This year the students in
Children’s Ministry had a
hands on experience with
the death and resurrection
of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Pastor Tarah and her amazing teachers transformed the
classrooms into the Passion
week story.
The students experienced
a visual encounter of Easter
this year as they went into
the empty tomb of Jesus.
On Easter Sunday morning at 6:30 AM, both the
CUMC and Centreville
youth organized a joint Sunrise service in the ROC.
Our ES praise team along
with three flute players lifted up special songs to our
Risen Lord. Special thanks
to Zion Jang, Nathan Yoo,
Kaitlin Ryu, Mi-Ju Han and
Jamie Jeong for participating
in this service.
