She has served as a youth and young adult spiritual retreat coordinator in the San Francisco-Bay Area for 16 years, and has continued in pastoral ministry to second-generation Korean-American students and international students. Rev. Song has also led Bible studies for college students on the campus of the University of California Davis (UC Davis) and was in charge as a campus ministry coordinator. In 2024, she was ordained into pastoral ministry by the Korean Holiness Church denomination, at its 22nd General Assembly in New Jersey. Pastor Song’s hope is that the kingdom of God will continue to expand through worship, the Word, and fellowship among the saints in Christ’s community, and be continuously used in the work of creating a healthy church. For the past 15 years, Pastor Song has served The Sharing Church (더나누는교회) in Albany, California. She has stepped-out in faith to obey the call to move all the way to Dallas to be with us.

Scripture:
 
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 JOHN 1:7)
 
Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (HEBREWS 10:25)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You Your precious Hosanna covenant family and the fellowship we share in the light of Your Son. If we walk in the light, as Jesus is in the light, we can have this beautiful fellowship with one another called the Church, with the blood of our Lord Jesus, Your eternal Son, cleansing us from all sin. At next Sunday’s picnic at Andrew Brown Park East, grant us this cleansing fellowship, not only in the light of a sunny day but also in the light of the blood of Your only Son. Strengthen Your servants prepping for this blessed picnic. Flourish our devotion to Your teaching, breaking bread, praying, and fellowship with each other. Help us not neglect meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another all the more to do so as we see Your great Day of Christ’s return drawing near. We thank You for the fellowship with Bethany Korean community, the answered prayer for bringing Reverend Soo-young Song to shepherd our youth. Thank You for the provision of the servants from Collin County Chinese Fellowship to bless us with their spiritual gifts of praise. Lord, may all the logistics of the new 10:30am worship start-time be adjusted well to make Your Word flourish to both our Hosanna and youth services. Bless the Honduras mission team training today and may Your strengthening joy fill this Saturday’s life group with the Jeng’s shepherdship. May all these fellowships bring us closer to one another and to the light of Your Son, whose blood covers all our sins, through Jesus Christ our light and Lord, Amen & amen.
