Yes we had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday, with a special song from our Advent Church choir ~ and then more special songs and dances from one of our groups who are mostly not church members but meet for singing and dancing on a Sunday afternoon, a kind of outreach ministry of Advent Church.  They perform for us several times a year, always beautifully attired, this time Hawaiian style! Carnations are THE flower for Mother’s Day, so the Sunday School children were kept very busy distributing them all…. And finally all the mothers in the church gathered for a big … Continue reading Advent Church celebrates Mother’s Day!

St. James’ Preschool Fair, Taichung 一年一度聖雅各愛心園遊會 ~ Yes, it’s all happening!

Catherine Lee

Yes, there’s always something happening at St. James’ Church and Preschool in Taichung ~ such a very happening place!  And this weekend was no exception.  With Taiwan celebrating Mother’s Day next weekend, St. James always has their Mother’s Day celebrations on the first weekend of May, so this was it! Since I was last at St. James, they have a new rector, Rev. Lily Chang – who’s moved there from Good Shepherd Church in Taipei, while Rev. Philip Lin has moved from St. James to Good Shepherd.  Philip’s children still have many friends at St. James, and his younger son’s … Continue reading St. James’ Preschool Fair, Taichung 一年一度聖雅各愛心園遊會 ~ Yes, it’s all happening!

Indeed much prayer for Nepal is needed, and the latest tragic news from the Anglican Communion website is here in this article: Nepali Anglicans among those killed in earthquake May God indeed have mercy….
