Faith as our fundation --actions (Ana)

Dear brothers and sisters:
Thanks for coming to the kick off meeting, after the first meeting Li-peng and I spent sometime to revisit the sub-theme under " Faith as our foundation" and we take some actions, they are:
A>We invited the coordinator for each sug-group ( we are so grateful that they accepted the invitation to be our partners):
#8 is related to SH school, Ah Khong will be the coordinator (both in English and Mandarin Group), Ah Khong will decide who is going to help him to coordinate the English group.
#7 is related to Liturgy: Margarita will be the coordinator for Mandarin group and Joanne will be the coordinator for English group.
#6 is related to the faith formation: Tian Bao will be the coordinator for Mandarin group and Albert will be the coordinator for the Young adult and English group.
B> We proposed the focus in this summer are:
1. to identify how much resources we have in each subgroup.
2 to identify what are the desires in each subgroup.
3. based on the resources we have to prioritize the desires
C>We suggested to proceed the steps listed in below to facilitais the process:
The coordinator in each subgroup will revisit the prelim roster based on the hard copy given to them to ensure all the sign up person are included, then hold a meeting to gather all the people who are willing to support in a certain theme, the subjects to be discussed in the meeting are:
1 What kind support you think you can provide?
(Since each one have their own meaning of "support", in this exercise we know how much resources is available in this sub group).
2 Propose a desire list that you think it can benefit or nourish our community/individual spiritual life.
3 Prioritize the desire listing based on the resources conclude in #1.
4. How can you help to achieve the desire? like: connection....?
D> Our goal is to build up a faith community:
As Li-peng always say, during this process our main goal is to build up a "community"; in there, we can share our faith, our dream, our happiness and our frustration; in there we can grow while we are in service. ---> each group can sense the unity and love in supporting each other; we hope this kind support can smooth out the burden we have in our mission.
F> We respect the gift given by Holy Spirit to each coordinator.
Each group coordinator can use their gift to serve their group, unless the focus is wrong.
However, Li-peng will attend some of the sub group meetings to get the feeling of this process.
In my trip to Taiwan, I'll see if I can find some support to facilitate the growth in our community and individual spiritual life. please pray for me and see you after summer.
Li-peng: Please feel free to correct it if I miss any thing!

In Christ,
Ana
