St. James Church, Taichung 飛揚(肥羊)小組!

Catherine Lee

飛揚小組 is one of the 5 small cell-groups at St. James’ Church, Taichung ~ and all 5 have delightful names.  Just think, this group could well be called the Wednesday Evening Cell group, after all that’s when they usually meet ~ but that would be so boring and unimaginative.  Instead it is called 飛揚 Fei-Yang, which in a Christian context is often used to mean something like ‘Flying everywhere to share the Gospel’…. Cell groups have gone from strength to strength at St. James, a wonderful way of growing the church, and sharing and deepening faith.  In this group are … Continue reading St. James Church, Taichung 飛揚(肥羊)小組!

Taizé Day at Good Shepherd Church….

Catherine Lee

Good Shepherd Church, Taipei hosted its first Taizé Day on Saturday ~ a whole day from 9:00am to 7:00pm….. and it was wonderful! Morning, midday and evening prayer times were the highlight, with talks and sharing in-between, including 3 young people who’ve recently been to Taizé sharing their experiences…. plus Brother Lucas, a real live Taizé brother from Hong Kong.  More than 150 came along, including some participants who came specially all the way from central and southern Taiwan… Most appropriate that this should take place right in the middle of Lent, and right in the middle of a growing political crisis with … Continue reading Taizé Day at Good Shepherd Church….

鄭啟璋弟兄追思禮拜….RIP 鄭伯伯

Catherine Lee

49 years!  49 years of praying ~ that truly shows some dedication and perseverance… That’s how long Mrs. Cheng prayed for her husband before he finally decided to become a Christian.  This family sure has an amazing testimony! On Saturday we gathered at Advent Church for the funeral of the man we knew as 鄭伯伯 Mr. (Uncle) Cheng, who died on New Year’s Eve at the age of 90.  His son and family have long been members of our church while Mrs. Cheng always went along to the Presbyterian Church in Tamsui, near their home, and would come with her son … Continue reading 鄭啟璋弟兄追思禮拜….RIP 鄭伯伯

Happy Keelung ~ Happy Yellow Duck!

Catherine Lee

How to make a city smile?  How to make a city famed for its miserable weather smile? Install some ART!  The famous Rubber Duck is here, and despite plenty of mishaps en route, hey here it is smiling away, and surrounded by plenty of happy people also smiling away, helped by a sunny day of course.  Unbelievable the affect that a very large (well, 18m) yellow duck can have on the mood of a city.  I love it!  And there’s even some real yellow ducks on hand nearby to say hello…. OK, so not everyone is smiling in Keelung City and every … Continue reading Happy Keelung ~ Happy Yellow Duck!
