教會與教友消息2009、2、1

1. The liturgical color for the season of Epiphany is green signifying growth and maturity. It reminds us that we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
2. This Friday Feb. 6, 2009 evening 8 pm Rev. Gerry Fuller and his wife Norma will lead Bible study and prayer in the dinning hall. We are studying Jesus’ sermons on the mount. We will pray for our church as well as for individuals’ blessings. All are welcome.
3. Arthur Alberelli, our beloved caretaker has resigned. We are grateful for the 10 years of faithful service to OCUC. We wish him well in his new position at Lob laws. Please give the names and résumé to Frank Pan, Winson Orr or Bruce Newman for replacement. The deadline to submit resumes is Feb. 15, 2009. Only those selected for interviews will be contacted.
4. Annual Congregational Meeting is scheduled for Feb. 15, 2009 at 1:30 pm after Sunday worship and luncheon. New church council members will be elected. The nominating committee has prepared nomination forms to be filled by the congregation. We need 10 members to fill the 8 ministry departments in the new council. Please cast your vote by filling out the form and drop it into the election box at the end of the sanctuary hall. Nomination will be closed on Feb. 8, 2009 after worship service.
5. Individual annual offering receipt for the year 2008 has been issued. Please approach Treasurer Brother Liang Yi to claim your receipt for tax return purpose.

会友与教会关怀：
1. 现在是显现节，圣坛的布置是绿色代表生长和成熟。使我们不再作小孩子，中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术，被一切异教之风摇动，飘来飘去，就随从各样的异端。
2. 本星期五2月6日下午8点，GERRY牧师和太太NORMA女士将带领查经和祷告。我们现在查考耶稣登山宝训的经文。我们为教友的事情和教会的事工，同心合意祷告
3. 本堂清洁工友Arthur Alberelli先生服务本堂十年後现须转职在Lob law’s工作。有意填补空缺者可於2月15日前将履历交潘文，柯文生或Bruce Newman考虑。合则约见。
4. 教友大会定於2009年2月15日下午1点半崇拜及午餐後举行。新堂会将诞生。提名委员会已制了提名表格。我们需要10个新堂委来担任8个工作部门。请把提名表格填妥投入礼堂後面的投票箱内。提名截止是2月8日崇拜散会之时。
