Bulletin for September 11

Weekly English Ministry Prayer Meeting is held every Wednesday from 8pm to 9pm. Please come and pray.
Fall term of Sunday School started last week. There are two courses:
- a) Small Group Training (suitable for adult & University, rooms 10-11)
- b) Prayer (suitable for junior high school & high school, rooms 6-7),
Encourage everyone to study God’s Word together.
We’re excited to launch our new small group ministry in Oct. For those interested in becoming a leader of a small group, please contact either Rev. Joe Chan or Philip Cheung. Training and orientation has already started during the English Sunday School time!
In Oct., we will be starting a special course on Sabbath keeping. The duration will be roughly 10 weeks during the English Sunday School time and conducted in English. However, it will not only be for English congregants, but it is open to everyone in the church willing to learn and grow in the area of Sabbath and entering into God’s rest. While there is no age restriction, maturity and commitment is required. This course is designed to help those who have experienced depression, workaholicism, burnout, and anxiety. It also promotes a healthy lifestyle for Christians. Materials will be provided, attendance will be taken, and group discussion is encouraged and important. The maximum capacity is 12 people. There is no cost, but please contact Rev. Joe Chan for registration ( joemchan@rogers.com). Participants must register before attending.
Baptism in December 4. We are accepting baptism applications now. Please obtain an application form from the usher table and submit it together with your testimony to Philip Cheung or Angel Wong or drop it into the drop off box upstairs no later than Nov 6 (Sun).
2016-2017 Awana Clubs will start next Sunday, Sept 18. If you haven’t registered yet, please pick up the registration form at the reception desk with $50 fee per child and return to Andrew Chan.
Congregational fellowship lunch will take place on Sep 25 (Sun) in the gym after English Sunday School and Chinese Sunday Service.
