Something New
The Nominating Committee will propose to the church of forming three new service departments. The newest one is the Informational Technology (IT) Department. A new Children Department will be spinning off from Sunday school and Church Training Department in order to have a better planning for all Sundays and Fridays programs for children. Finally, Church Training Department, under the proposal, will be called Fellowship/small group Department.
The Board of Deacons is working on a proposal to the church of implementing a Sabbatical leave for pastoral staff. It is very likely that Pastor Larry will be on Sabbatical soon.

On the Light Side—jokes to have a laugh
Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while, he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer. “Fine,” said the pleased mother. “If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.” “Oh, I didn’t ask Him to help me not misbehave,” said Johnny. “I asked Him to help you put up with me.”
A minister questioned a six-year-old: “So your mother says a prayer for you each night. Very commendable. What does she say?” The little boy replied, “Thank God, he’s in bed!”
A couple with three children waited in line at
The minister gave his Sunday morning service, as usual; but this particular Sunday, it was considerably longer than normal. Later, at the door, shaking hands with parishioners as they moved out, one man said, “Your sermon, Pastor, was simply wonderful—so invigorating and inspiring and refreshing.” The minister, of course, broke out in a big smile, only to hear the man add, “Why, I felt like a new man when I woke up!”
The above jokes are taken from Medicine for the Soul by Dr. David Jeremiah

Thanksgiving
Our very first Cultural Day that was held on August 27 was a success. We praise God for such an event to bring out the uniqueness of the Chinese culture. After all the performances, special Chinese tea and snack were served while congregants enjoyed the Chinese art exhibitions. Over twenty paintings were sold to raise fund for the Church building project. With a matching fund by an anonymous donor, we have raised about eight thousand dollars!

Our condolences go to Jerry Wong and his family for losing his mother to cancer last Sunday. May the Lord comfort him and the family with surpassing peace.
Our condolences also go to Chau Yee for losing her father in
