Welcome to the Family
During our First Quarter Business Meeting, four new members were accepted into the family of Southbay. Christina and Lisa are being accepted via Baptism, and Rufus and Hukani via application. May the Lord bless them and equip them to grow in the Lord.

Activities
Spring Retreats: Utilizing the Spring Break from DeAnza College , the Caleb Fellowship will be having their Retreat from March 25th through 27th (Friday through Sunday). There will be about thirty people attending. Pray that Minister Pinnie will deliver convicting messages for these college students.

The youth group will be having their Annual Spring Retreat from April 1st through 3rd (Friday through Sunday). Pray that they will have a meaningful time of fellowship and learning God’s Word.

Christian Education
A more systematic Chinese Christian Education Program is set to give birth in the upcoming quarter. There will be four classes for students to choose from. The English program is still at its planning stage. Pray that the Lord will use this program to help students find passion in studying God’s Word. Thank you, Sunday school department, for your hard work!
