    • (SEROT Certificates in fellowship room: Please pick up yours and mark your name on the sheet there.)

      • J Chau, S Lin, J Hurng, D Wang, D Chui, A Tsiang, T Tsui.

    • In attendance: J Chau, J Peng, J Kan, D Choi, J Hurng, S Lin, J Shau.

    • Relayed that the burden of the perfecting training, presently (1) calling on the name of the Lord (2) life-study, should be front and center of our church life.

    • Further fellowship on Alpha House outing

      • May use portions from the Conclusion of the New Testament on what Christ is to the believers in His Person to strengthen, enrich, and uplift, our calling as we practice it during the outing.

      • Adjustment to the schedule:

        • End the meeting around 11am (9:30 Lord's table; some 10:15: overflow); leave camp around 12pm after cleaning.

        • No lunch in Alpha House on the Lord's Day.

          • Simplify food prep and cleanup.

          • Saints may invite one another to have lunch together in nearby (not so near) towns along the way home.

      • May 14th Mothers' Day: brothers to prepare breakfast on LD. (Families may have their own time at dinner.)

    • Further fellowship on the trial run of the new LD format tomorrow:

      • It is very important that the saints, starting with us, come early and ready for the table, and ready for the prophesying meeting.

      • Even though the motivation is for bringing in new ones, everything we do on the Lord's Day must be profitable for all the saints. The atmosphere of the break time must be warm. We should be engaged (not preparing our own prophecy). It should be okay to have some informal singing around a guitar, for example.

      • Young people: when do we release them?

        • We feel good to keep them mingled with the saints until the piano plays the hymn toward the end of the break.

        • js will let the serving ones know to expect them later tomorrow.

    • Co-hosting English-speaking living streaming with San Jose for May 20th Perfecting Training.

      • J Chau used the software goto meeting before.

      • Good to have a WebCam for feedback.

      • We are able to set it up either in the English-speaking room or the main meeting room. The former with LCD TV will have better viewing [js: adding post-fellowship, we may minimize moving chairs around, too].

      • js to explore with Brian Choy on the numbers (localities) that will come to Cupertino.

    • Children Bible Camp:

      • Deadline 5/7. Brothers to announce it tomorrow both languages.

      • Steve Lin will prepare paper forms ready for the parents.

    • Brother brought to attention a well-known YP in Dunn Loring committed suicide. YP might hear of it and get negatively affected. We should be watchful over the situation and the enemy's attack against the church.
