4 Michael Time flies! Can you believe almost two months have gone by this year!? It feels like just yesterday when we were making up those New Year resolutions. How have you been holding up on them? Or do you even remember what they are? Well consider this a kind reminder or a pad on the shoulder depending on your progress. Another thing I ve noticed of late among us is the sweeping flu that hit us by storm. Many of us have gone down with it. Some even got hit multiple times already. I myself was one of the victims and it was just about the worst I could recall in my adulthood. Perhaps the age has caught up on me or whatever it is. I m glad it s almost over with. For those who ve recovered let s praise the Lord on this one. As for preventing the flu well just remember the usuals wash hands frequently boost up your immune system by eating healthy exercising regularly etc. February is also a special month for a pair of our beloved brother and sister Eric and Yuki. They had a beautiful wedding at Huntington Beach on the second of this month. Many of us LWFers were in attendance along with many other bros and sis from CBCCOC too. We all had a great time at the wedding sharing their joy witnessing this important chapter of their lives. As pastor Tang pointed out it was truly God s blessings that the rain didn t start until almost right after the outdoor ceremony had been completed. Praise the Lord who never let us down and watch our back! Now as the couple wish let s pray for the four children that they are planning to have!! It s FOUR right Eric!? Jokes aside I m sure God has prepared for them abundantly. Oh by the way amid the hectic preparations of his wedding and work Eric still managed to take two mission trips to Mexicali. Thank the Lord for leading Eric s spiritual life and commitment to this mission life. Let s pray for energy and safety for his upcoming trips in the future. Now without further ado let s do a quick recap on what we ve done this month at LWF On the 1 st we had our first cell group gathering of the year! Are you gelling with your new cellmates yet? Cell group is a good opportunity for us to foster our brotherhood/sisterhood in a small group environment where we could probably get to know and care for each other on a deeper level. It also provides a platform for us to grow spiritually as Christians or encourage non-believers among us to chase God s words; therefore certain cell group materials are being prepared as we speak for our upcoming cell group gatherings. These materials will facilitate spiritual discussions on various aspects of our lives. Besides we all could use some fun outings once in a while like hiking and what not perhaps when the weather get warmer.

Another thing I ve noticed of late among us is the sweeping flu that hit us by storm. Many of us have gone down with it. Some even got hit multiple times already.

5 On the 8 th we had our annual New Year potluck and as usual the food did not disappoint. Looking at all the fancy dishes one can hardly say it wasn t a grand display of brother and sister s love. And looking at the faces of the brothers and sisters during the feast one can also hardly say we weren t hungry. Nonetheless we all finished with a full stomach and for that we praise the Lord! After the feast we had a series of really fun games prepared by Joyce and Terry in which brothers and sisters creativity has gone above and beyond one s imaginations. For instance at one point we had to come up with items that are related to or used in Chinese New Year celebrations. Well I would just say the noise level of the LWF room was boosted up a couple notches by the laughter that resulted from the answers. We also had a game in which each of us got to practice our long lost or never attained calligraphy skills writing Chinese phrases on pieces of red stubs as a Chinese tradition during New Year. As usual Tony did not shy from showcasing his humor and creativity a dragon and horse came alive from his drawing brush. I could not help but ask Tony to draw me a couple more as decorations for my house. On the 15 th brother Edward Chow gave us a very informative and interesting talk titled 年年有逾. Edward started off by relating Chinese New Year traditions to the Passover dinner traditions of the Jews exploring the possibilities of any direct links between them. Could the Chinese traditions be a direct result of Jew s migration from the Canaan region all the way to China? Or could there be some sort of influence? Edward gave us a few thorough examinations of the facts; the general consensus was that while it is possible that these two traditions are related there are enough differences for the link to be plausible. Next we moved our focus to other interesting topics such as the meaning and origin of the fish symbol of Christianity. It was interesting that once upon a time this symbol was used as a secret gesture for fellow Christians to identify one another. We also watched a short documentary on a Israeli movement that aims to bring all Jew descendants back to the promised land exactly as how Bible prophesizes. This led us to realize God s promise never fails considering the fact that just decades ago even the thought of having a Israeli nation was beyond one s wildest imaginations let alone bringing back the Jew descendants from every corner of the world. Next Friday the 22 nd we will have our Bible study of the month and we ll be going over the passage from James 5: Can Christians be rich? Are all riches condemned by God? What is the proper attitude toward wealth? What does God promise to those who suffer? These are some of the questions this passage sheds lights on. Lastly in line with this year s church theme of Serving Together in the Spirit let us all pray for a serving heart for the Lord. In case you are wondering what you can do to serve and help in church or LWF in any capacity please do not hesitate to contact any of us committee members (Terry Joyce Fandy and myself). It is truly a joyful and blessings to be able to serve the Lord and we all have our own sets of strengths to do so as pointed out in 1Peter 4:10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. Alright take care! Don t get sick!

6 Even though it has just been a few months into the New Year God has already brought lots of blessing to Living Stone Fellowship and have planned lots of exciting events for us to look forward to. On 1/18 we were blessed to have Andy and Derek come to speak to us about preparing for our careers. As college students other than getting the perfect 4.0 our goal is to get a job after we graduate. Andy and Derek talked about the first step and hardest step to getting a job the interview. They both shared many stories of their own experience looking for job and hiring others. They also gave us many tips such as making sure the address is correct and remembering to follow up after the interview. Hopefully we all paid close attention and pray that God will let us be successful within the 1 st few interviews! 0n 1/25 Jason introduced us to the book of Exodus. To get the general story we started by watching The Prince of Egypt a movie focused on the life of Moses and how God used him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. We also looked into the Bible to get a better understanding of the major events such as the 10 plagues in Egypt and the 10 commandments. The book of Exodus taught us that God does provide in many ways and through his miracles we see that everything is possible with God. We hope that our faith in God will stay strong throughout the year and continue to experience God s provisions and blessings! On 2/1 we took the time to share about how God has been working throughout our lives. We first drew a timeline of 10 events in our own lives and ranked each event by the happiness or sadness it brought. Then we had time to see what the Bible says about God s plan like why does God allow sad things to happen or what lessons we could learn about the experience. After that we took the time to share the happiest and saddest events and the lessons we learned from them with each other. God also blessed us with some old friends Jamie and Ceci! On 2/8 we welcomed in the Chinese New Year with lots of food games and bonding time! God blessed us with lots of food such as chicken drumsticks tea eggs seafood curry thank you Christine and Heidi for cooking! Jeffrey then helped us bond with each other by playing some games. We had fun trying to pick up candy with chop stick rolling out toilet paper and kicking sandals into a trashcan! Praise God for such a wonderful 1 st meeting of the Chinese New Year and may his blessing continue to flow! God has blessed us with four wonderful meetings and taught us about ourselves the bible and each other. We hope to continue to feel his work around us and ask God to continue to work through us to connect with more new friends and bring them closer to God. We are looking forward to our retreat coming in March and hope lots of people will go and experience God s blessings together.
