Annual Thanksgiving worship with CMF team leaders

CMF leaders Saw Aung Doo and K. Ja Nu is touring the U.S with their music and mission. Here, we have a God-given opportunity to worship with them in our annual thanksgiving service. We will hear their testimonies, music, praise songs, God's word, and their mission reports. We praise God that OBMBC was able to partake in CMF mission, especially during the Nargis relief effort. Currently, we are engaged with CMF as a small part in gospel music CD production which we are grateful to Saw Aung Doo and the wonderful CMF soloists. May God richly bless CMF ministry in Myanmar and aboard.

Christian Musician Fellowship leaders, Saw Aung Doo ( President ) and K. Ja Nu (Patron) will be leading in our Thanksgiving worship with praise songs, testimonies, and God's words. The Karen Fellowship will also join us in this combine worship in thanksgiving. There will be annual church photo taking and thanksgiving luncheon right after the service. Also, Burmese traditional game, "Thot Sei Toe" will be played after the thanksgiving lunch. So bring your thanksgiving hearts and enjoy the fellowship, worship, games and lunch!
