    • In attendance: Jimmy, D Choi, J Kan, J Shau

    • Excused: George, J Peng, D Wang.

    • Fellowshipped on the burden to continue to put the practice of calling on the name of the Lord in a deeper way to touch His Person and to live Christ front and center before the saints after finishing the 4-week HWMR. The proposal from Monday night fellowship was to have a schedule for the church to enter into the materials on "What Christ is to the believers in His Person", "My spirit!", "Calling on the Name of the Lord" little by little.

      • Reviewed the draft webpages for the point above for weeks 1-4.

      • We plan to send e-mail notices on the Lord's Day for the portion of the week.

      • Some 2s or 3s may enjoy the portion of the week together. The enjoyment personally or with 2s or 3s may spontaneously overflow in group gatherings and/or church meetings.

      • We may use some, not all, verses in personal shepherding thru text, chats etc.

      • 1 Tim.4:6 If you lay these things before the brothers, you will be a good 1aminister of Christ Jesus, 2being nourished with the words of the 3bfaith and of the 4good teaching which you 5have cclosely followed.

        • 7 But the 1aprofane and old-womanish 2bmyths 3refuse, and 4exercise yourself unto cgodliness.

        • 8 For bodily exercise is profitable for 1a little, but agodliness is profitable for 2ball things, having 3promise of the present life and of that which is to come.

        • 9 aFaithful is the word and worthy of all acceptance.

        • 10 For to this end we alabor and strive, because we have set our bhope on the 1cliving God, who is the dSavior of eall men, fespecially of those who believe.

    • In the fellowship above, we had the feeling that it would be good for each small group to explore if the saints would like to agree on using one of the group chat apps to facilitate the sharing of enjoyment during the week. We heard very encouraging testimonies from Chinese-speaking group 4 last month in the combined LD meetings.

    • We fellowshipped on things we may do to further improve the blending during the LD snack time.

      • Something like name tags, but somehow not too intruding or awkward to help saints to reach out to one another even more. Let's give some more thoughts into it.

      • Location of the snack table:

        • We had traffic jam around the table, which also locates by the door where people going in and out during the break.

        • We took a look and experiment to switch it to the usher seats side. We will see how it goes.
