Welcome to the Family
We would like to extend our warmest welcome to the six new members who will be baptized in the Body of Christ on December 19: Richie, Tony, Jessica, Jennifer, Jaimee, and Flora. Of course, their membership confirmation will be finalized during the Business meeting on December 12.

Invitation
As usual, we have two Christmas Celebrations this year. The English program will be held on the 17^th (Friday) at 7:30pm . There will be a drama entitled “Jason’s Judgment.” The Chinese program will be held on the 18^th (Saturday) at 7:30pm . There will also be three short skits with a message from the pastor.

There will be a joint worship on Sunday at 11:00am . This year, we will concentrate more on celebrating the Birth of Christ with praises, with only a short message in between. Please come to celebrate with us.

Building Project Update
On November 17, we received a Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of San Jose at the Public Hearing. We will move forward to the next phase of the project—securing an architect to draw the construction drawings. We have one year from the date of issuance to start construction. Otherwise, we will have to file for extension. We covet your prayers for us to be united in moving forward and to have the resources to build the sanctuary for God’s glory and work.

Congratulations
Alex and Angela gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Ian, on November 7. He weighed over 7 lbs and measured 19 inches. Both mother and child are doing well.
