Dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
Sorry for the confusing message which is continuously looping in our members email box. I just talked to the ISP server of SJCCC, and they indicated to me that it might be a problem that a bounced email be fed back to the distribution mailbox again. The problem is not triggered by a virus in the message. They are looking into the problem and will stop the faulty server immediately.
Thanks for your understanding and patience,

Dear Parents:
Last Saturday we had a wonderful potluck dinner. Thanks to all of you who participate it. Patrick has explained why the young adults want to lead the Watermark high school kids in our community. They felt guidance, especially religion guidance is very critical to their age. In a few years, our kids will leave us to college to pursuit their future with very minimum help from us. If we can prepare them now, then we probably do not need to worry about them while they are away. Because they know what is the true value in their hearts.
I felt extremely fortune to have so many young adults devote their time to our kids. They are willing to help but they need our support.This year we have more kids and parents from San Mateo Church, we need to thank Alice Tong (Andrew's mom) keep inviting new friends to our group. And we have some new kids and parents from the Fremont Church too. Our group is growing which means we need even more support than before.
Maybe you won't come to Watermark in a regular basis, but please still come to join our discussion to let us hear your thoughts. We also need parents to bring snacks for the kids in every Watermark meeting. The Worship team ( currently 5 or 6 people ) always come at 5:00 PM to practice their songs till 7:00 PM. We need parents to provide simple supper for them.
Please join us. If you cannot make it this Saturday but willing to help, please e-mail me.
The parent meeting time for this Saturday is 7:30 PM till 9:30 PM at room #2.
Love in Christ,
Amy Li

我們一起懇求，慈愛的天父，特別的眷顧，並賜給她們及家人，勇氣，及平安，能面對整個治療的過程！
也為他們的醫療團隊祈禱，求天父，賜給他們智慧和合作的精神，順利完成，這難度頗高的手術工程！
為此意向，我們同聲祈禱！

Sorry about the confusion! My mistake on the first name! I gave "Joseph T.S. Lee" to Li-Peng for the broadcast. It should have been "T.S. Lee" and the Chinese name should be 李天祥 if your computer can decode Chinese font.
So please continue to pray for 李天祥's father (Joseph Lee's grandpa) for recovery. May Gos bless Lee's family!

Angie suggested having weekly reflection material for faith sharing group and homily theme similar to those years we participated in ¨RENEW〃 program.
Joseph Ku and Angie will work on this and prepare material before next Council meeting.
We had gone through this last Monday. A few ministries are lacking of leadership now. These are: (1) Marriage Encounter and family support ministry: Irene and Helena will look into this based on Sister Chiang Fan-Huaˇs article in HolyCity and provide their suggestions in August meeting. (2) Bible and Spiritual Book Sale: Irene and George have served in this ministry for a number of years. Irene would like someone can take over, perhpas focus on Bible sale only.
(3)Finance group: current leaders have served in this area for many years. They would like to have replacement. Li-Peng will talk to the newer members in this group to see if they would like to assume the leadership position. (4) Office Secretary in Dioceses Office: Karen has also devoted many years in this office after Katherine Nie. She would like to have a replacement. This is an important liaison position for our community to communicate with Diocesan staff. (5) Senior group leader, Huang Chung-Wen, reported that he also wanted to have replacement, more importantly, he would like transportation support for senior group activity. (6) Evangelization group leader, Liu Ker-Ching, resigned and needs replacement. Weˇll call a gro! up meet ing to identify for new leader for this group. (7) Sacred Heart School needs principal. We hope one of the student parents can assume this position. This is critical for the quality of CM and Chinese education deliver to our youngsters.

VATICAN CITY, 1 JUL 2008 (VIS) - Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for July is: "That there may be an increase in the number of those who, as volunteers, offer their services to the Christian community with generous and prompt availability".
His mission intention is: "That the World Youth Day held in Sydney, Australia, may awaken the fire of divine love in young people and make them sowers of hope for a new humanity".
