EVANGELICAL FORMOSAN CHURCH NEWS LETTER
Greetings
Greetings in Jesus' name! May the Lord give you a wonderful
week, as we all grow in "grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
We’re thankful for the rains of recent days. I don’t hear talk of drought
anymore in the news, praise the Lord! We’ll continue to pray for timely rains,
without damaging severe weather.
This past Sunday (Mother’s Day) was truly a memorable one at
EFC-Houston! We welcomed Darhiel Dumapat as a new church member and had the
dedication of Leah Meili Yang, daughter of Henry & Erica! We prayed for
Pastor Craig/Erika Wimsett, as they will be leaving us at the end of May, to
eventually move to Taiwan, to pursue ministry there. We enjoyed a "Marriage
Celebration", in which Drs. Daniel/Gwen Garrido presented certificates to a few
couples who recently completed a series of Marriage Training classes. To honor
our mothers, Sis’ Grace Yang led some of our children/youth in singing songs and
playing music during lunch-time. There were other special musical performances
as well. Finally, we heard the powerful testimonies of Dr. Chen & Bro’ Mike
Williams (please check out the website, www.stephousing.org, which contains these testimonies; just click
on the "media link and you can then find the link
to listen to their DVD testimony). On that website, you can learn all about the
"shelter" that they’ve invented for homeless people.
Most of you have already paid for your
recently-ordered t-shirts, but in case you haven’t yet paid for the shirts, you
can either give cash ($10 per shirt) or make out a check to our church, with a
note in the memo, or separate note, that it’s for "EFC 2020 Year of Jubilee".
Don’t forget that the EFC General Assembly is encouraging all EFC members to
consider donating $20 per month to this church-planting initiative (planting 200
churches by the year, 2020).
Prayers
Let us continue to pray for our
missionaries (Charles Chen & David/Pearl Wang in China, and James/Rebecca
Tzou & Marco/Julie Chang in Taiwan). Please also pray for wisdom for those
involved in the ongoing search for a second church parsonage (which involves the
search committee, church board, and the rest of us, who are involved in prayer).
Thanks to those who prayed for the "rash" on Shirley’s leg; it is getting
better! Let me know, from week to week, if you would like a prayer request to
be put in my weekly letter, pertaining to anyone who is ill or any other need
represented in our local church body.
Up Coming Events
This Friday, May 17th, at 6:30 PM, as
I’ve mentioned in a separate e-mail, there will be a potluck/potblessing meal
at the church. The purpose is to spend some extra time with Pastor Craig/Erika,
who will only be with us for about 2 more weeks. IF you come to the meal,
please come to join us promptly at 6:30 PM, and please bring some food to share.
After that, at 7:30 PM, Pastor Craig Wimsett will continue his teaching series,
"Knowing the Voice of God". This week, he will go over chapter 7. Please read
ahead to familiarize yourself with the material. Also, for this series, "Knowing the
Voice of God", the reading materials can be download
from
the following web site:
www.harvestime.org
So, whether through your written booklet, or by way of
the internet, everyone can prepare at home before coming to church.
This Sunday, May 19th, will be normal service and Sunday school times. Let
us prepare our hearts to partake of Holy Communion this coming Sunday (in the
respective separate services). Later on, at 1:30 PM, the church board will have
a regular meeting.
Please note that after all Sunday activities
(including lunch, etc.) are completed on Sunday, May 26th, the church building will be fumigated (this is done
annually, to eradicate insects and such pests in the church) . The church
building will not be then reopened until the following Tuesday morning (please
make a note of this, as we would like the church building to remain shut on
Monday, Memorial Day).
There will be a sign-up sheet available for the next
few weeks, concerning the annual "Faith & Family Night Houston Astros’
baseball game". This year it will be on Saturday, July 20th, at 6:10 PM. The contemporary Christian group, "Tenth
Avenue North", will have a concert immediately after the game (against the
Seattle Mariners). Those of us who sign up will be responsible to give our
ticket money to Henry Yang, who will send in the order for tickets. If 20 of us
sign up, we can get the group rate of $10 a ticket. If less than 20 sign up,
the cost of each ticket will be higher. Six of us are signed up so far. The
game will be at the beautiful Minute Maid Park. The sign-up sheet will be out
for both services.
Please remember to mark your calendar and plan
to attend the annual EFC-Southern District Labor Day retreat (Aug. 31-Sept. 2).
This year it will be at Trinity Pines Conference Center (Trinity, TX). This is
only about a 2 1/2 hour drive away from our church. Pastor Lin, Guo-Liang will
be the speaker for the Taiwanese/Chinese group and Simon Lee (son of Elder
Robert & Lily Lee) will be the speaker for the English group). Simon was in
this church’s youth group back in the early 90’s and now is a local business
owner (who gives 50% of the net business profits to ministries/non-profit
organizations), who has made many short-term missions trips to several
continents over the years. Registration forms will be made available in the
near future.
Every Wednesday, there is a conversational English class
(9-10 AM) and Chinese-language Bible study (led by Pastor Wang) from 10AM-noon
here in the church. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings, we have prayer
here in the church (9-10:15 AM), and on Thursdays we have an English-language
Bible study (10:30-11:30 AM—currently, we’re going through the book of
"Revelation")}. On Sunday afternoons, after lunch, Dr. Daniel Garrido is
leading an English-language "new believers" class", which is open to anyone.
Materials are provided. Please let me or Bro’ Daniel know if you would like to
join this class (besides those who are already
attending).
Please see me if you want any information on being baptized in water or
becoming a church member here.
Blessings to All,
Don’t
forget to check out the church websites (www.efchouston.org &
www.robertleeefc.net). Please note the
change in Elder Lee’s website, from ".com" to ".net". There is also a church
calendar on the church’s website and recent pictures, that Bro’ Craig Wimsett
takes, of church activities. Both the recent English and Taiwanese/Chinese
preaching messages may be accessed on the church website. There is an
EFC-Houston "Facebook" private group, that you may join. The link for that is:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/efchouston. If
you ever have an announcement of some kind, that you would like to pass on to
church members, just let me know and I can pass it on to the church attendees on
my address list. Also, you can check out photographs on the picture board. The
latest newsletters from Angie Leet and Marco/Julie Chang are posted on the
bulletin board. Note: If you have not yet given us your information to be put
in the new English service directory, please do so, IF you want to be included
in that. Please let me or Evelyn Famorca know about that. Don’t’ forget to
pick up church brochures (on the foyer table or literature rack) to pass out to
people to invite them to our church. Have a great week!

Yang姐妹帶領一些教會的兒童及青少年唱詩歌和演奏樂器,還有一些其他的特別音樂表演,獻給所有的媽媽們。最後,我們聽到了陳榮良醫生及Mike Williams弟兄強而有力的見證分享(請到下列網站www.stephousing.org
