It’s EC’s turn in November (5 Sundays) to help with cooking rice, arranging tables, chairs, and patio cover in the 2nd-floor patio area between 8:30 AM and 8:55 AM, and wiping and putting away the tables and chairs in both the patio area and Fellowship Hall after lunch between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM. Please join us in fulfilling this duty and keeping our space clean and organized. If anyone can volunteer to cook the rice, please let Jill know.
THANKSGIVING GATHERING
Please save the date for Saturday, November 21, for our Thanksgiving Potluck and Testimony Sharing! Our church is looking for people to share their testimonies, and we can have 2–3 people share from the English Congregation.

2026 CHURCH THEME
Our church theme for next year is “Renewed in Mind” from Romans 12:2. From the earth being formless and void, to humanity falling into sin, and then to Christ’s coming to accomplish salvation, God has continually been doing new things among His chosen people—until the day the new heaven and new earth arrive. May, in the new year, the Lord who works wonders lead us to a renewal of our minds, usher us into a new season, and make us no longer the same.
2026 CHURCH CALENDAR
Our 2026 church calendar has been published on the church website here!
CHURCH PARKING
As more people return for in-person services, we kindly ask for brothers and sisters to take advantage of the free parking on the street. This way, we can save the church parking lot for guests, elderly, families with young children, or others who need easier access to the building.
DISPOSAL OF LUNCH BOXES
To follow government regulations for composting food waste, the church is implementing a waste reduction and classification system. In order to correctly classify waste, the church trash cans will no longer be for food waste (including beverage cups and cans). We kindly ask that you use reusable lunch boxes which you can take home to clean or, if you use disposable lunch boxes, to take those home and dispose of it yourself. Keeping the church clean requires everyone’s participation; please also kindly remind each other from time to time. Thank you so much for your cooperation!
LUNCH TICKETS
The church has decided to resume the lunch ticket sales system. Lunch tickets will be available for purchase at the entrance of the Fellowship Hall. Green tickets ($3) are for those who bring their own lunch boxes, red tickets ($4) are for those who need disposable lunch boxes, and yellow tickets ($1) are for children. For more details, please visit the church website.
