    • In attendance: George, J Kan, Jimmy, D Wang, J Shau

    • Excused: J Peng, D Choi, S Lin

    • Church outing:

      • Considerations:

        • Alpha House available. Advantage: sanctified, very low cost. Concern: the morale in the church life currently may not be strong to overcome of the inconvenience of distance etc.

        • The main goal of a church outing is blending.

      • The idea/proposal: (emulating what we had with Angels Camp) Book thru AirBnB a number of houses close by, say in Capitola (nice town, further away from Santa Cruz). Ideally so having a larger place (say school) for a gathering all together, say LD morning.

      • Cost: Some $750 per house for 10-12 people for a weekend. It is higher. But brothers felt we may proceed.

      • Date: either 9/16 or 9/30, each having pros & cons, so we will let the availability of houses decide which date to go.

      • Target capacity: some 40 saints with children.

      • Brother George will proceed to book the houses.

    • Respeaking of Memorial Day conference:

      • The format tomorrow:

        • 10AM - 10:45: combined Lord's table.

        • Separate by language after announcement.

        • In each language meeting, some 30 minutes for respeaking (En no snack break). Four brothers will speak from the conference, 5 minutes from one banner each. Remaining time for saints to overflow or respond.

        • 11:15AM - 12: prophesying meeting on Calling on the Name of the Lord.

      • English-speaking meeting: J Kan on banner 1/message 1; J Shau 2; two Sunnyvale brothers on 3 & 4.

      • There is a general feeling that we should practice respeaking after the 7 feasts regularly to bring the ministry to the saints and the bring the saints into the ministry.

    • Group A update:

      • Kenneth Halim is transferring to UC, Irvine. He'll go back to Indonesia after quarter ends (late June). He'll be back with us first before moving down to Irvine.

      • Daniel Sinata: H1-B does not work. Got in Huld University, SF, but family feels it is not worthwhile, so chance is he will leave US to attend international MBA program in Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan.
