  5. City of Richmond Adopt-A-Street Program: We have adopted Beckwith Road where our new church site is at. The one on September 13th at 2:30pm is canceled due to air quality.  Next activities will be on September 26th, October 11th, and 24th.  Contact William KC Chan if you are interested.
  6. Home-made Cloth Face Mask: Church and family members/neighbours/friends can share the love by ordering via the following link: https://forms.gle/XNgmXPMiwK9jyP918
  7. Zoom Live Worship: We will continue trying out live sermons through Zoom (Meeting ID: 384 693 6909).  For now both Zoom and Youtube will be available, but our eventual goal is to transition to just Zoom.  Note: We will mute everyone and ask everyone to turn off the camera when service starts, so that we do not end up streaming anyone on Youtube without consent.  During sermon if the speaker asks questions or wants to interact, you can unmute yourself to answer (but keep your camera off unless you want your face to show up on Youtube).  After service, we can all unmute and turn on cameras so we can have some “hang out” time.
