Updated version of 2008 Fellowship Activities & Duties List

Dear B/S,

I have sent out an email with the 2008 program list for our fellowship with all the vacancies of "chairperson" and "hymns sharing" filled. You may want to check it for your diary marking. I would like to say thank you to everybody for your services in our fellowship. As to the detailed fellowship activities for the second quarter and beyond, the fellowship committee is still formulating some ideas into action. In due course we will "advertise" the details of those arrangement.

Finally, I wish everyone a happy week. Let's try to make it a productive one !!

Warmest personal regards,

Antony Chiu

Fellowship this Sunday (Jan 20)

Dear B/S,

Many of us (including myself) show no self-confidence in sharing hymns, maybe, this is the reason that deters us from participating hymns sharing in an enthusiastic manner in our fellowship. In light of this, on this Sunday, Jimmy and Sarah are going to give us a training session that specifically focuses on learning how to share hymns. What attitude should we adopt towards hymns sharing ? What should we pay attention to when sharing hymns ? What are the techniques that help us to be more confident ? How to get brothers/sisters more involved in the hymns which you share ? What should we say/not say when we are sharing hymns ? Perhaps, we can get some clues after attending this training class.

In addition to the above-mentioned training session, it is Calvin’s turn to share his testimony and path of spiritual growth this Sunday. Let’s give some encouragements to him !

Then, we need to practise singing hymn for Annie's wedding at the end of our fellowship (if Assembly Hall is available after lunch, we will practise at the beginning of our fellowship). As this will be our last chance to rehearse seriously, so please remember to come to our fellowship this Sunday.

Brothers/Sisters to serve the forthcoming fellowships:

Date Sharing Chairperson To Share Hymns Pianist
Jan-20 Calvin Nicole Antony Nicole
Feb-03 Stephanie, Nicole Doris Carmen (Anyone ?)
Feb-17 (Anyone ?) Ryan Doris (Anyone ?)

Happy New Year ! + Fellowship this Sunday (6 Jan 2008)

Dear brothers/sisters,

As we are approaching 2008, I would like to greet you an early "Happy New Year" ! In 2008, I wish everyone is always fully-filled with God's graces and our spiritual lives grow apace. As to our Philippian Fellowship, I wish she will continue to prosper, to improve and be better than ever. At the beginning of 2008, let's be determined to be complementary, mutually encourage and learn from each other, work together wholeheartedly for the betterment of our spiritual home. Leveraging God’s provisions, striving to become a group of influential Christians, "又要彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。" (希伯來書 10:24)

In this forthcoming fellowship on 6 January 2008, Billy and Ryan are going to share with us their testimonies and spiritual growth experiences. During the coming weeks, the committee will invite some more others to share. As some brothers/sisters look to be not well aware of what and how to share, I am attaching herewith (pls get the file from my email if your browsing our blog) the “Letter of Guidance” which Kam Wah wrote to us several months ago.

Brothers/Sisters to serve this coming fellowship: Doris (To share hymns), Antony (Chairperson) and Fowing (Pianist). For the registration matter regarding hymns sharing and chairpersons for the fellowships thereafter, the committee will circulate a form for us to fill in on this Sunday and the committee suggests everyone to take turns to learn and serve.

On this Sunday, we also need to practise hymn, “最珍貴的角落”, for the wedding ceremony of Annie & Alex. Annie previously recommended us this audio weblink (http://www.twango.com/media/pilipalawu.public/pilipalawu.10007) which can help us familiarize ourselves with the hymn. Besides, as our whole fellowship is going to sing hymn(s) at the Sunday service (the 11:30pm session) on 9 March 2008, let’s discuss about this matter on this Sunday.

Furthermore, as advised by Sarah, Raymond will host a small group to study ”使徒信經” starting 4th Jan, 2008. The six classes will be held bi-weekly on every other Friday. See if you are interested.

I am leaving early now and having a drink with some friends in my industry on this New Year’s Eve. Bye Bye now and see you all in 2008 !

In Christ,

Antony Chiu
