The Church's 30th Anniversary Magazine:
a) Our next wave is the cover design for the magazine. The organizing committee requests that the layout be in A3 format (the finished product will be folded to serve as both the cover and back page of the special edition). Additionally, for this special edition, there is a designated "color theme," and color samples are posted on the church's dining hall bulletin board for reference. We welcome brothers and sisters to unleash their design creativity and incorporate the idea of "Love & Legacy" into the design, making it a collective memory for everyone.
b) Meanwhile, considering the participation of children, the Children Sunday School will be co-hosting a drawing activity titled "What is my church?” This activity encourages children to express through imagery what church means to them or what significance it holds in their hearts. We highly encourage parents to participate in this parent-child activity, guiding their children in understanding the concept of church. If the artwork aligns with the theme, it may be considered for use as the cover.
c) The submission deadline for both design activities is November 5th, and digital/hard copy works can be submitted to the 30th-anniversary celebration event committee (Nancy Choy, Phoebe Lam, Sean Wang, Sarah Li, Sharon Chan and Sally Che). Click here for the Design Summary document.
The Finance Department plans to send out an email in mid-November to distribute the total amount of contributions for the first half of the fiscal year 2023-2024 to all members. This will facilitate everyone in verifying whether the amounts are correct. If any members have recently updated their email addresses or have new registered email addresses, please notify the church by email. For members without email addresses, please contact Tony Yeung.
Our church administrator Stanley Yu will be on leave from 1/11 to 28/11. During this period, Sister Elain Law will temporarily assume the role of administrator.
Pastor ET will be delivering the sermon during the Cantonese Service this morning, and as a result, there won't be a TNT session this morning.

Prayer Items for the Week
Pray for everyone to strive to practice the theme of the year,: Love as He Loved • Love with His Love.
Please continue to pray for Lucia, the Pastor Ivan's wife. Pray that the Lord watches over her recovery and all post-operative treatments. Also, pray for the Lord to safeguard Pastor Ivan's physical and mental well-being so that he can better care for his wife.
Let us come together in prayer, seeking the grace of God to bring lasting peace to the Israel-Gaza conflict. May the Lord's hand guide and inspire all parties involved towards a peaceful and just resolution, where the rights and well-being of all people in the region are respected, and suffering comes to an end.
