That Time of Year

The ladder has found a temporary home in our living room for the past few days.  That is because it is once again time to do Spring cleaning.

Everyone in the neighbourhood is cleaning the inside and outside of their houses! It happens each year just before the Lunar New Year’s Day. That day is also known as “Spring Festival.”

When we have completed this year’s clean-up work, we will post new red banners with blessings written on them. This year, we found an unusual one–it is written in Taiwanese (not Mandarin). It says: “Grace is sufficient.” The English-like words beside are the Taiwanese Romanization for the words.

The message on this banner is both a blessing and a reality that we are able to experience in our every day lives. God is good!

Praise and Prayer

  • We are inviting a friend and her daughter to visit during the Lunar New Year holidays. Please pray that our time together will bring encouragement into their lives.
  • Sunday, February 11, is the second day of the lunar new year. It is the day when couples and families traditionally visit the wife’s family relatives. As most people will be away, our service will be on-line only. Pastor Joshua and Lorne recorded the service using video.
  • Praise the Lord! Pastor Joshua passed the oral exam associated with the ordination process. His “Ordination Thanksgiving Service” will be held on Saturday, March 16 at 3 PM. If you are coming to praise God with him, please pre-register.
