Also pray for the health and well being of Brothers Lewis Chow and Peter Lee. May God’s healing power be upon them.
3. Brother Winson Orr was admitted to the emergency room last Saturday morning due to appendicitis. Thank God for the successful operation and the speedy recovery. He would like to thank our brothers and sisters for their prayers, love and support.
4. Our church is in the process of searching for a Mandarin speaking pastor. If you have the burden to serve in the Pastoral Search Committee, please contact Brother Frank. Below is the draft version of the ad. “OCUC is looking for a fulltime pastor who can speak Mandarin and English (speak Cantonese is an asset). Have ministering experience in evangelical church (North America churches preferable).” If you have any suggestion or comment about the ad., please inform Brother Frank.
5. We thank Rev. Fred Milnes for his willingness and dedication to help our church to serve as our supervising minister during our search for a new pastor.
6. The Council has decided to invite Rev Gerry Fuller to lead our prayer meetings in the
absence of the pastor and as a result would be willing to pray for or meet with
anyone in the congregation desiring prayer or counseling in spiritual matters.
We thank Rev. Fuller for accepting this position. Please feel free to contact
him (613-832-5800). Details will be finalized and be announced very soon.
7. Brother Miguel, our Youth worker is planning to have 2 special services in December:
a) Children Service on Saturday, December 5 at 3:00pm.
b) Youth Service on Saturday, December 19 at 5:00pm
Both services will involve children and youth from our church and the English Spanish Church. All programs will be translated into English. Parents please support these services and bring your children and youth to attend.
