Missions Emphasis Month

May is our Missions Emphasis Month, and during this month, we will promote Missions work around the globe as well as what we should do as World Christians. Our Missions Pledge goal for the upcoming year (July through June) is $55,600. This giving should be above and beyond our regular giving. All the giving received are for Missions works, and will be diverted to support missionaries and organizations. May the Lord bless those who faithfully give to the Missions budget.

Building Project Update

The General Contractor and the sub-contractor have reached an agreement, and the completion of the steel roofing and the second floor should resume soon. As of now, we still haven’t heard from the City of San Jose about our CUP application for retaining the existing multi-purpose building. Please continue to pray for the ever-challenging project.

差傳月

五月份是教會的差傳月。這月內，我們將推動普世差傳事工，同時希望能教導大家作為「普世基督徒」應盡的本份。我們來年(由今年七月至明年六月)的差傳認獻目標是五萬五千六百元。這應該是你在對教會經常費負擔以外的奉獻。所有收到的奉獻將會用在差傳事工上：支持宣教士及福音機構。願主賜福那些在差傳奉獻上忠心的人。

建堂簡報

總承建商與副承建商已經達成合宜的合約，相信很快就會繼續搭蓋房頂及二摟的鋼架工程。另外到現時為止，我們仍未獲得聖荷西市政府對我們申請保留現有多用途建築物使用許可證的進一步消息。請繼續為這充滿挑戰的建堂工程祈禱。
