3.    We are excited to announce that this year’s Mission Week will feature a young missionary couple working in creative ways to bring the good news of Jesus to the victimized in S.E. Asia. We have been supporting them financially since last year, and now we finally get to meet their family of three in person! A S.E. Asian-themed dinner is being planned for Saturday, Feb 24th, at 6:00 pm, followed by separate meetings in English and Cantonese at 7:30 pm, in which the couple will split up to share about their stories and mission work. On Sunday, Feb. 25, the couple is scheduled to preach together in both services. Please mark your calendars for these events and register for the dinner when the time comes.

4.   This month we are sending our financial support to Vancouver Chinese Christian Short Term Mission Training Centre (VCCSTM) and A Rocha Canada. The updated profiles and prayer requests of both organizations will be posted on Whatsapp and on our website.

5.    December Offering Record - Please verify your offering record that has been posted on WhatsApp and contact Elder Roger Hiew for any questions.

January EB Meeting Highlights:

1.     Approved the Mission Department’s recommendation to redirect $4000 from the Other Mission Fund to Pastor Abraham's most recent appeal for building a new church in India.

2.    Decided to implement recycling and composting at church by preparing bins to sort and collect recyclables and compostables, to be removed from church weekly by staff and volunteers to be properly disposed.

3.    Decided to discontinue the printing and distribution of the church directory to protect members’ privacy and security. The Board urges all members with old copies of the directory to store and use them with discretion.
