Congreation & Church Concerns 2009/6/7

CONGREGATION & CHURCH CONCERNS:
(English)
1. Today is the first Sunday after Pentecost. We call it Trinity Sunday to celebrate the unity of God. This was advocated by the church as a theological wrap up to the Sunday observance of the life of Jesus Christ, and of the coming of the Spirit to the church. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity attempts to describe the unity of our human experience of holiness as “three persons”” – as God, as Christ, and as Spirit. 2. Today is Holy Communion Sunday we observe the sacrament of the Eucharist as commanded by our Lord. All baptized Christians irrespective of their denominational background are welcome to join this table. 3. Ottawa Joint Cantonese Devotional meeting is scheduled for 2009-06-12to13(Friday, Saturday),evenings 7:30pm at the Emmanuel Alliance Church of Ottawa. Speaker: Dr. David Pao. Theme: Living for Christ. Mandarin translation provided except for the Saturday morning workshop (9:30am-12:30pm)Topic: How to Study the Gospels. Call 613-232-2226 GLCC for details. 4.

Contact Rev. Chan for registration and details. 5. Our minister Rev. Wilson Chan had requested for a change in pastoral relationship with our church effective August 6th 2009 for the purpose of seeking a new call or appointment. This request has been approved by the Presbytery and accepted by the Church Council. Reason: God has a good plan for this church and for Rev. Chan.
