March, 2007
Thanksgiving
The Short Term Missions team was safely brought home on Wednesday, 21st, last month. We thank God for providing them an opportunity to experience, in a true sense, what Jesus said about the “harvest is plentiful and the workers are few.” There will be a sharing during both the English and Chinese worship on May 27 (Sunday). May the Lord continue to work in their lives after this unique opportunity to witness for the Lord in a foreign country.
BASS Conference
Our church has signed up to attend the BASS conference in Castro Valley on March 1 (Thursday night) through March 3 (Saturday). There are plenty of workshops to choose from, and many of them are beneficial for ministries as well as for family growth. Since we registered as a group, you don’t have to pay a fee to attend the conference. All you need to do is to identify yourself that you are from Southbay Chinese Baptist Church.
Building Project Update
We have received “red-lines” from the City of San Jose from the previous submission of the construction drawings. The design team was able to finish with the necessary corrections, and the updated drawings were re-submitted. Let us continue to pray that we may start construction soon.
感恩
短宣隊在2/21日﹝星期三﹞平安回來。我們感謝神讓我們有機會親身體驗主耶穌所說：「要收的莊稼多，做工的人少」。我們在5/27日﹝星期日﹞的中、英文崇拜中分別會有分享。在這次難得的機會到其他國家為神作見證之後，願神繼續在隊員的生命中作工。
BASS主日學研討會
教會已報名參加於3/1﹝星期四﹞至3/3﹝星期六﹞在Castro Valley舉行的BASS主日學研討會。大會有不同類型的講習班可供選擇，很多是對事奉和家庭都有幫助。我們已作團體報名，你不需要付任何費用，你只要表明你是南灣中華浸信會成員就可以。
建堂消息
聖荷西市政府已完成審查我們上次送交的建築圖則，我們亦已收到需要修改的資料。工程組已經完成需要修改的圖則並再次送到市政府作審批，讓我們繼續禱告，祈求可以盡早開始建築工程。
