Welcome to the Family

During our last Business Meeting, we approved to accept the following brothers and sisters as members: Cheng Shiu, Danny Tseng, Carol Chau, and Becky Hon Lo. All four new members will be baptized. Justin Shiu was also accepted as a new member through application. May they continue to grow in the spirit.

There will be a Baptismal Service on July 27 at 3:00pm at Pastor Larry’s home. All is welcome to celebrate this joyeous ocassion. As usual, dinner will be prepared so as to continue with our fellowship that evening.

Building Project Update

Steel construction has resumed in mid-June. The workers are laying the second floor panels as I write this newsletter, and the roofing will be the next step. It is going to take about four weeks to complete all the steel installation.

The off-site parking issue at the school has been resolved. Since Alum Rock Little League isn’t using the parking on Sunday, we can rent it. A written contract is at the work to provide to the city of San Jose for a Conditional Used Permit application to retain our current multi-purpose building. Please continue to pray for unity and faith as we are moving forward with the project.

歡迎加入我們的大家庭

在上季的議事會中，教會通過接受下列的弟兄姊妹為我們的會友：鄭文娟、曾丹行、周麗萍、盧韓翠霞。他們都將會受浸。同時亦接受蕭兢德弟兄的會藉申請。願他們繼續在靈裡成長。

浸禮將於七月二十七日下午三時在唐牧師府上舉行，歡迎各位參加與我們一起興祝。浸禮後亦設晚膳以便繼續交誼。

建堂簡報

在六月中旬蓋搭鋼架的工程再次復工。工人現時正安裝二摟地板的鋼鐵，下一步就是安放房頂。預期約四星期就可完工。

此外在教會以外的停車場的問題亦已解決。由於鄰近的青少年棒球賽在星期日沒有賽事，所以校區可在星期日租借停車場給我們。現時正在準備合約，使我們可以正式向聖荷西市政府申請保留現有的多用途建築物。請繼續為著教會建堂所需要的同心及信心祈禱，好使我們能更進一步。
