1. Facility Expansion The DB has been talking about facility expansion for some time. Here are the considerations for making such a move. a. As a church, all 3 ministries should worship at the same location and at the same time. (1) This also ensures the best utilization of children's and adult Sunday schools. (2) All the members can have lunch together and fellowship together. (3) TM/MM parents and their EM youths can worship at the same time. (4) Current location cannot support all 3 ministries at the same time and doesn't have enough classrooms. b. Current SFCC building presents accessibility issue for the elderlies. Adding an elevator will require upgrading to meet the current building and electrical codes, which may not be feasible. c. Parking is few and difficult at the current location. d. MM would like to be able to worship in the morning too. DB has recruited the following people to be on the Facility Expansion Committee: Tom Chang, Margie Chen, Shih-ku Yang, Karin Kuo, Kai Cheng, Tim Wen. The DB will keep the members posted on the next step. Let us all pray for the unity of the church and for all to have a vision of 3 ministries worshiping together. And pray that God will soon "add to the church daily those who were being saved". 2. Nomination for 2016 Deacons starts on 8/2. Five deacons are stepping down this year: Jesse Chen, Shih-ku Yang, Karin Kuo, CR Lin, and Tim Wen. Please pray that God raise up more people willing to serve. Worship 1. If anyone in the EM has a heart to serve, whether on worship team or in any other capacity, please talk to Pastor Jim, Karin Kuo or Pamela Huang. 2. 2015 is SFCC s Year of Worship and there will be a workshop on leading worship and how to worship 7/17-19. All are welcome to attend. Please sign up with Pamela Huang or Isaac Chang. The speakers are Pastor & Mr. Wang of Ahava Fountain. http://www.ahavafountain.org/.
