Klesis Yosemite Recap: A Successful Trip
Although the sister's last attempt to Yosemite was unsuccessful, this trip definitely made up for last time's loss; the brothers just also happened to be on this trip as well. It was a short and sweet trip where we got to enjoy nature, snow, great food and of course awesome fellowship. The recap is mostly in pictures so check it out! Hope you can join us next time!

Spring Break Recap: KleBros Backpacking Trip
This past spring break the KleBros took an epic backpacking trip to Zion National Park in Utah for a 2 day backpacking trip. We drove total of 26 hours and we hike over 20 miles with an epic 14 mile day (which shatters what the average person is supposed to do with backpacks on). We hiked, then drove to LA for an epic all you can eat Korean BBQ dinner! Oh yea! Friday, our first night we took off for our first stop in Barstow, CA where we setup up tents at Shady Line RV Park and spent th
Spring Break Recap: Klesisters in Gualala
What is Gualala, you might ask? It is a beautiful coastal town with a population of only 280, off of highway 1. And, it is also the place where many Klesis sisters got to go for the weekend, to just relax and have fun together away from Berkeley. Our trip to Gualala was quite epic. By the end of our last day, we did not want to leave. We had so much fun, food, and fellowship - and here is just a picture-filled recap of all that we did! We started off the drive to Gualala wit
Klesis Weekly Recap: Mark Bible Study & Chocolate Fountain
The special desserts at the end of every Klesis weekly can be a show of its own. We've taken a tour to Italy and the American deep south with Myra's panna cotta and Tina's biscuits a few weeks ago and then a couple week's ago we stayed local with an ever fancy chocolate fondue. Just throwing this idea out there: Friday Night Desserts around the World? Some pictures from our delicious dinner time. Things to note: Myra's face in the first picture, Jieun and Casey in the second picture (and all
Klesis Mini Recap – Part 2
This past Friday was a great night where the sisters enjoyed intimate settings in the homes with some amazing pasta,earl grey panna cotta, and cake pops. The first half of the night looked like a kitchen scene in Ratatouille, except there were no rats, and our food was better :P We studied gospel of Mark where Jesus healed the man with leprosy. What struck me was Jesus's willingness to heal the sick, even the leprous man. We talked about the conditions of leprosy, but I will spare you the
KleBros Friday Recap
This past Friday, the Klebros went off to Dublin for an unusual outing: trampolining at Rockin' Jump. Click to Read more! As you can see from the picture, we were all (for the most part) jumping and having fun... but as the night wore on, us old people got tired of jumping. T
Klesis Mini Recap - Part 1
This past Friday, girls separated into 2 homes to have dinner and Bible Study. Girls in Sieun's group started the night off with an interactive dinner of kimbap rolling.We had all kinds of delicious fillings for our kimbaps, such as fishcake, imitation crab meat, pickled radish, and even kimchi! People chose to eat a whole roll of kimbap or cut their kimbap up to share. Believe it or not, the most popular addition to our kimbaps was sriracha sauce! [caption id="attachment_1112" align="ali
Valentine's Day of Compassion
Instead of flowers, chocolates and ... no valentine, we celebrated Valentine's day with songs, laughter, and love. Ever since this started in 2006, our church has embraced the tradition of visiting convalescent homes on Valentine's day to spread the love we have received from God to the elderly all around the area. We call this Valentine's Day of Compassion or VDoc. Klesis went to Willow Tree convalescent home in Oakland. We were greeted with warm welcomes from the nurses there as well as

Recap: I Heard That...
...everyone had an awesome time at Klesis Weekly the past Friday! We had a special Bible study at Wesley House (across the street from the RSF) on different misconceptions about Christianity. The night started off with a video that Isaiah made, where different people talked about their misconceptions about Christianity before they became Christian, such as the misconception 'I thought Christianity was a tool used by the Western capitalists to brainwash the Chinese'. Following the video wa
Klesis in Da Homes
You know that sentiment after a long day hard at work and you just want to go back to a cozy place where the warm smell of food greets you as soon as you open the door? Yep, that was what Klesis experienced this past Friday. It was made even more exciting as right before most of us were hard at work cleaning Durant Loft. When we entered into the house, there were already people preparing food diligently for us. And man, we had some gourmet better-than-restaurant food: fancy pork (it was t
Klesis 2012 Spring Welcome Night
The second semester has started, and of course to kick it off the right way, we had a spring welcome night to welcome back the old-comers and formally introduce to newcomers what Klesis is all about! To begin the night, we started off with an ice breaker: we got into groups and tried to unscramble words on the screen to figure out the right order to make
College Winter Retreat Recap
The weekend before the start of school, we had a church wide college retreat up in Mt. Hermon. Winter Retreat is the spiritual highlight of the year. We had many sessions from Pastor Ed as well as many people who were willing to be vulnerable and shared their testimonies. Many of us experienced personal connection to some components of almost all of the testimonies that were shared. For about two and a half days, it felt as if we were on holy ground. If it weren't for all of the people who we
Thanksgiving Retreat in Review
Just this past week, we had our annual Thanksgiving Retreat in Alameda. It was a great time for us to reflect on the past year and be thankful for everything we have, and it was also a time for us to see all of our friends from our other churches! We were joined by our sister churches from Davis, SF, Riverside, San Diego, Austin, Minnesota and Hsinchu, Taiwan. We started our time on Friday night with a message from Pastor Ed about how we can be thankful about what we have, because it didn't h
Klesis at Sierra Lodge!
This trip reminds me that sometimes, life throws pleasant surprises at you. What was supposed to be a weekend filled with kayaking, outdoor sports, and nice scenic hikes turned into a weekend of snowball fights, staying warm by the night bonfire, and hot cocoa. But in my humble opinion, this is the BEST KLESIS TRIP YET! Thanks for all the hands that built the lodge and the barn to make this trip possible. We arrived on Friday night and the place was already covered with fresh white fluffy

Good Friday and Easter Service & The Passion Experience

This week is Passion week, which are the days leading up to Good Friday and Easter. Please note that our Good Friday and Easter service will be held at Kofman Auditorium in Alameda and we hope you can join us!

In addition to the services we are offering something really special called the The Passion Experience.

Monday to Friday this week, the Durant Loft MPR will be transformed into what’s called the Passion Experience, an interactive, walk-through exhibit of the final days of Jesus’ life on earth, taking us through an audio/visual tour of each of the different players involved in the crucifixion of Jesus—Peter, Judas, Pilate, the soldiers—to help us personalize what happened on the cross. Last year, this experience really helped a lot of people personally understand the meaning and reason for the cross.

Please sign up soon for the Passion Experience since the time slots get filled quickly. The two exhibits are identical. Exhibit 1 or Exhibit 2
