Welcome to the Family
First of all, I would like to welcome Pastor Jonathan, Sarah and their two children, Christopher and Samantha to be part of the family at Southbay Chinese Baptist Church. Pastor Jonathan answered the Lord’s call to be the English pastor at SCBC. He brought with him over twenty years of ministerial experience from youth pastor to couples’ pastor. He has already started at SCBC since last month, and the “Official Installation” will be held on Sunday, July 3rd during the Joint Worship. I would like to extend an invitation for you to come and celebrate God’s grace with us.

I would also like to take this time to welcome the five new members, Alfred, Esther, Kevin, Lawrence and Rigo, during the Second Quarter Business Meeting. All of them will be baptized on July 10 (Sunday) at 3pm at Pastor Larry’s home. You are invited to join us in celebrating this joyous occasion.

Missions Update
Starting this month, there will be a total of seventeen people going to short-term Missions trips: Two going to China as English teachers, one going with her school to Southern California, and fourteen to minister to the Native Americans in Leupp, Arizona.

At the close of last month, our Missions Faith Pledge was about fifty percent of our goal. I pray that the Lord will provide with the resources so that our external support will not be altered.

Congratulations!
Wedding Bells: Nick and Janely on July 23; and Solomon and Michelle on July 30. May the Lord bless them.

Baby: Hannah was born on 6/17 to Grace & David. Both mother and daughter are resting at home. May God bless their family with lots of joy and laughter.
