December, 2006

Worthy of Praises
We praise God for giving us an opportunity to glorify Him by ordaining Brother Anselm as a minister of the Gospel on November 26. About 180 people attended the Spirit-filled Ordination Service. By this time, Rev. Siao has already returned to Hong Kong to continue His ministry at Chinese Christian Herald Crusade. May the Lord richly bless him and his ministry.

We want to welcome the following new family members (to be accepted in the fourth quarter’s business meeting on Dec. 17):

Via Baptism: Mike, Mei, Olivia and Valerie
Via Application: Benjamin, Lin and Tze-Kuan
Via Transfer: Ken, Patty, Polly and Steven

Invitation
We will be having our Annual Christmas Celebrations. On December 22 (Friday), please come and join us for the English Celebration, and on December 23 (Saturday), we will have the Cantonese Celebration. Both celebrations will begin at 7:30pm. Admission is free.

On December 24 (Sunday), we will have our Joint worship to celebrate Christmas at 11:00am. Please come and celebrate with us the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, and at 3:00pm, we will have baptism at Pastor Larry’s home.
