Have you ever wondered how church music came about? On August 19 (Sunday), Professor Lori-Anne Dolloff will give us a workshop (in English) on church music history from 1 pm to 2:30 pm. Our Music Director, Joanne Loo, will also provide a brief history on our hymn book, the Hymns of Universal Praise.  The cost of the workshop will be covered by Music Ministries.

Lunch will be offered to workshop participants ($5 per person - any age) at 12:30 pm.  If you are interested, please let Joanne or Catherine know latest by August 12.

Fr. Bill will be conducting a workshop on small group life and leading group bible study in Cantonese on Sept 28 (7:30pm-9:30pm).

Fr. Bill and Dr. Loo will be conducting a workshop about the use of marijuana after Cantonese service on August 26. They will share their thoughts on this topic from both medical and biblical aspects.

Cantonese prayer meeting is going to take a break beginning in July 24 and will resume on Sept 11.

Fr. Bill is on summer vacation from July 23 to August 19. Please contact Canon Dennis for pastoral issues. Our wardens will update Fr. Bill if there are any urgent personal or pastoral crises.

The changes of our ministry and especially the growth of our English ministry demand more focus and pastoring from the incumbent in our weekly Sunday services.  After careful deliberation of our church leaders and the incumbent, and with the support of our area bishop, we have decided to adjust the time of our three main Sunday worships from September (September 2nd) this year:

At the same time, due to the effectiveness of our multicultural ministry, we will become the place where the seminarians and curates will learn how to lead and pastor a muliticultural parish.  This also requires the incumbent's presence and focus in each service.  We hope that you will support the church’s decisions and adapt to new worship times with openness and prayer.  We will try the new worship time for 4 months.  At the end of the year, we will make an assessment.  If you need to share your opinions before the end of the year, please talk to Fr. Bill directly.
