Building Project Update
We would like to thank everyone who participated in organizing the Fund Raising Dinner and other activities for the Building Project. At this point, we are about 80% of our target. While the architect continues to draw up the plan, the Building committee continues to meet to decide the next step. Regardless whether we will move forward to build at this time, we ask that the “Seed of Division” will be removed from among us. Please continue to pray for the project as the Lord moves you.

Purpose Driven Life
The church plans to use the book Purpose Driven Life as part of the whole church’s curriculum for adults Sunday school classes for three months, starting April. We want to emphasize that this is only a textbook; it is by no means to replace the true Textbook—the Bible. The book is to be viewed as a tool to learn what God intended Christians to do on earth. After that, we will resume the regular curriculum. If you haven’t joined our Sunday school yet, I invite you to join us every Sunday. Other than the Youth and the Children classes, we have three Chinese classes, starting at 9:30 am , and three English classes, starting at 11:00am . Look forward to seeing you.

Congratulations!
Engagements: Nick and Janely, and Kin and Charmine. Neither couple has decided on the wedding date yet. May God continue to bless their courtship.

Baby: The safe arrival of Sami from China (new baby of Philip and Mary Ann).
