Fall Festival 2019

Fall Festival at VACSF 7 pm - 9 pm, Oct 31 1332 Vermont St., SF, CA 94110

From Chi Tram... It is with great pain and sorrow that I bring you the sad news. My beloved mom passed away due to gallbladder cancer this past Saturday, June 8, 2019 at 7:15 am. After much pain and suffering, my mom is now at peace and resting in God’s embrace. She was 72 years old and is survived by two older sisters, one younger sister, one younger brother, one daughter, one son-in-law, one grandson, eleven nieces and nephews. She has always been adamant about a very priva...te cremation of her mortal remains, so there will be no viewings or burial ceremonies. However, we will be holding a short memorial for my mom 10:00 am on June 22, 2019 at San Francisco Vietnamese Alliance Church 1332 Vermont Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 Instead of flowers or donations, we would like to ask donations to be given to the church same address as above where my mom had found so much love and support during her walk with Christ right up to the end of her life. May God continue to bless you and yours.

Dear Friends, Hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to let you know that VACSF will be having a Good Friday service at 7 pm this coming Friday, April 19 at church (1332 Vermont Street, SF, CA, 94110). We will be able to worship and fellowship together as we remember what Jesus went through for us. ... Good Friday is a sad day for us, but we know Sunday is coming, and so we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord on Sunday, April 21 at 12:30 pm. Come and let us lift up our voices in celebration of that fact that we have eternal life in Him. Afterward, there will be a special luncheon. I hope to see you all this coming weekend. Have a Happy Easter! God bless, p. andrew
