ALIVE 9/21 - Calling All Failures!!!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Hey, let’s face it… normal people fail at times… and we are very normal!  Deal with it!
Come to ALIVE tonight to explore how to overcome our disappointments and failures.  Some very successful people in the Bible and in society have walked this course of failure before.  Yet God used those life-changing moments to guide their subsequent actions and choices.

  • 9th grade guys - Kevin Yiu
  • 9th grade girls - Serena Chang

  • 11th-12th gr guys - Jon Tang
  • 11th-12th gr girls - Karoline Cheng

ALIVE Kick-off on Friday 9/7 … Interested in baptism?

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Come to the first ALIVE for this new year on Friday 9/7 from 7:30-9:45pm. Kevin Yiu is point man for Sr ALIVE, and Larry Lin is point man for Jr ALIVE. The new calendars are available here: 2007-2008 Sr High at-a-glance or Sept-Oct 2007 Sr High bi-monthly.
Also, if you are interested to be baptized in 2007-2008, you must begin your Baptism Class on September 16th in Room B-01. Baptism is a church ordinance as commanded by Christ (Matt 28:18-20). It is a public profession of your faith in Jesus Christ and a mandatory prerequisite for other possible opportunities, such as CBCGB membership, Student Leadership, mission teams, etc. A recommended minimum age for baptism is at least 14 years old, when there are some prior experiences of personal faith being tested and wrestling through doubts. All who are interested should speak to Pastor Sandy or Deacon Terry for guidance.
