The Installation Service of Rev. Bernie Chung

by Wendy Kwong

On April 21, 2024, Leadership Minister Jeff Wright, and I (Souderton [PA]), traveled to be a part of the installation service of Rev. Bernie Chung as San Francisco Chinese Mennonite Church (SFCMC) Interim Pastor and beyond.

The choir and guests (Kwong, far left) sang Pastor Bernie Chung’s favorite song, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” in Cantonese. Photos provided by David Pang, chair of the deacons.
Ten authentic Chinese homemade dishes for guests from far and near, hosted by a SFCMC couple at their house. Ten is a perfect number in traditional Chinese culture.
Over 50 people attended the afternoon installation officiated by their Leadership Minister, Jeff Wright.
Leadership Minister Jeff Wright encouraged the congregation with a sermon titled “Keeping the Main Thing, the Main Thing” (Ezra 7:1-10) and Katie Chung interpreted.
Rev. Chung is the new owner of a Mosaic Mug!
Question and answer time with Bernie and Katie Chung. 

The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
