Lighthouse: Sister Yueh on 10/6 - Jenny

Dear Lighthouse,

For all of you who showed up last Saturday, I hope you had a wonderful, wonderful evening with Sister Yeuh. Well, I certainly did. Because of her 40 years of experience in counseling, especially with young adults, she knows how to 'talk' to people. She shared many funny and heatwarming stories with us. I believe all of us went home with a new meaning of what is like to be a Catholic and ready to share again.

During the talk, she encourage each one of to spend 5 minutes a day reading the Bible, using this particular website(s). This website offers daily gospel reading and reflection.:

http://www.amdgchinese.org/big5/spirit/b/spirit_b03c.htm (in Chinese) or

http://www.sacredspace.ie/en (in English)

If you missed Saturday's talk or want to hear her again, this Saturday's retreat is her last appearance in the US. She most likely won't be back until another 3 years. Ken has already signed up to go.

Date: October 6, 2007

Time: 9AM to 5PM

Place: St. Claire's Lower Church

Subject:Saying YES to God with Hope and Love!!!

Please RSVP with Yueh An Pung (her brother).

If you haven't met Sister Yueh or hear her talk, I strongly encourage you going. You won't regret it -Jenny

Lighthouse: Need your support/Jade

Dear Friends,

Here are two funds raising related activities that I sincerely hope you can consider some amounts of participation:

(1) 2008 Holy Land Calendar, see http://epaper.ccreadbible.org/epaper/Activity/070719/2008calenderDM2.htm

It costs $20 per set including one large wall calendar and one desk calendar. Both can be great Xmas gifts to family and friends. All the sales of calendars will support the daily operations of John Duns Scotus Bible Reading Promotion Center ( http://www.ccreadbible.org/).

The Center's primary mission is to promote reading bible among Greater Chinese community. It has also invested quite amount of effort in introducing/promoting other ways of experience to deepen our Christian faith, such as retreats, pilgrimages, small group sharing, bible camps and many other more. I personally benefit A LOT from reading its weekly newsletter and I encourage each you to sign up via its website. Here I am also enclosing a touchy article, posted in this week's newsletter, about the signs of Faith, the signs of Heaven, and the signs of true Life http://epaper.ccreadbible.org/epaper/page_200/175/horarum19.htm

(2) Funds raising for Inter Friendship House Association (IFHA) at Berkeley: the campaign goal is $75K to respond the need for the next three fiscal years.

IFHA is a non-profit organization aims to serve scholars and students from China who study/research at UC Berkeley, UCLA and USC. Its the IFHA's hope that through the received care, support and friendship while study abroad, the individual will eventually become the source of support to his/her own community back in China. The IFHA allocates resources to assist its members' living in US campus, such as affordable housing and occasional transportation. Please see http://www.fuyoucenter.org/Berkeley.htm and the attached pledge card for more information. I will also bring you copies of DVD made for the funds raising and the IFHA brochures to our regular gathering on Saturday. All donations are tax deductible. If you are willing to make any amount of donation, please fill in the form and give it back to me for records.

Thank you for considering any kind of support. I'd be very happy to answer questions or to address concerns you may have.

Peace & Joy.
Jade

親愛的朋友：

或許是一種緣份，或許是您的好心，在大型的活動中，在那林立的各有所屬的攤位中，您的蒞臨──促使我們的相見。中秋節到了，是的，這思親的節日，這血濃於水的國族，您會再來相聚麼？我們正熱忱期待。

在 異鄉過中秋節，可以吃到應節的月餅，看到又圓又大的月亮，但是難免少了過節的氣氛。人潮？對了，人潮！也許同胞多一點的地方，可以感染一些過節的情緒，可 以回味一些兒過往的舊夢。就是這個週末，在Cupertino 的 Memorial Park 有中秋節遊園會，有吃有玩有表演，有小朋友的活動，有我們等您！

天主教的攤位將設立在遊園會裡，當天有十五年歌唱經驗的聖詠團，九月初才出版的CD，專誠致送，歡迎您帶回家欣賞。請來吧，9月29、30日兩天的上午10：00到下午5：00，我們都在。如果您約朋友同來，這 Cupertino Memorial Park，就在 Stevens Creek Blvd 旁， De Anza College的對面。請參考網站 www.themoonfestival.org

SJCCC-ET meeting summary / Kerching

I have been thinking about what we've discussed. The following is a summary of some key points that many have brought up.

我們談了許多，以下是我歸納的重點

大型活動之後，福傳組接下來的工作重點是

１．迎新餐會（預定十一月）
２．與其他團隊之間的合作
３．鼓勵各區組的參與

The focus of our work after all the major events will be

1. The welcome party (in November)
2. Working together with other 20/20 teams
3. Promotion of evangelization in cell groups

我們需要透過『祈禱』和『我們所看到的一些記號』去繼續做分辨

We will continue to discern through prayer and signs around us.

Thanks be to God.

Kerching

P.S. Let's equip ourselves and get ready to fight the good fight of faith together!
