Sunday School Faire

This year we will have a special Sunday School Faire on August 10, immediately following Chinese worship. There will be BBQ and games. The purpose for this special event is to promote various Sunday school classes to the congregations, and it will be re-enforced through preaching on that day as well. We extend a warm welcome to all of you, so that you may meet all the department members and the teachers. Let’s have a blast!

Building Project Updates

The steel workers are back to work on site. It seems the works are slow in coming, and the Building Project Committee has been working with the General Constructor to push the project forward as much as they can. Hopefully, by the end of August, the roof will be completed.

In the meantime, we are still working to obtain a letter from the school district for submittal to a Conditional Use Permit to retain the current multi-purpose building. For an unknown reason, the person-in-charge hasn’t been able to draft the letter. The Committee is also investigating on a back-up plan for off-site parking. Instead of having over 100 parking spaces, the alternative site only has fifty-six spaces.

Please do continue to pray for the different progresses for the building.

主日學聯歡會

八月十日被定為主日學聯歡會，將會在中文崇拜之後舉行。我們將會有燒烤及遊戲等活動。其目的是要向會眾推動主日學之不同班級，並在証道中加強這方面的信息。我們誠意邀請你參加當日的聯歡會，使你有機會認識主日學組的各成員及各老師。請一起來歡樂！

建堂簡報

鋼鐵工人已經回到地盤重新開工，但進展似乎非常緩慢。建堂委辦正在與總承建商商討如何加速工程之進展。希望在八月底可以將殿頂完工。

委辦同時亦繼續與校區接洽爭取批準使用他們停車場之信件，好使我們可以正式向政府申請保留現有的多用途的建築物。但不知何故，那負責人遲遲沒有將信件寫好。委辦正在向另一機構接觸，校區的停車場有超過一百個停車位，但相比這後補的地方祗有五十六個停車位。

請繼續為建堂多方面的需要和進展祈禱。
