Share and Speak your Joy!
The Gathering Shares their response to building a stronger community.
 |
| Tommy Lim reminds us that we toured SRO's (Single Room Occupancy) many years ago and can arrange another visit; the non-english speaking people prefer the inconvenience of living in an SRO simply because they are in a community who speaks their language. |
 |
| Mic Fong notes the kids that join Day Camp and Youth Camp are not returning to Church. What/Who is following up with them? Is the Reception Committee doing what they need to do?; Overall the church is doing well, need to think about the future. |
 |
| Shirlene Tong says many members of The Gathering used to live in Chinatown and eventually bought homes and moved out of the area; members continue to come because the service/worship/fellowship is compatible to their needs; concern is will the next generation continue supporting FCBC; many of their children remain active Christians but go elsewhere/their own community. |
 |
| Need to be more informed about the SRO'S; suggested reaching out to Norman Fong; Offer programs to aid with addictions; recognize what the community needs are and go from there. |
 |
| Jon Ng says we have been exposed to City Team and Sunset Ministry; suggests to replicate their work and meet with agencies that reach out to the community. |
 |
| Acknowledges most members live outside Chinatown; expresses the importance of coming to Chinatown/to be a part of the cultural experience; Friday night group is predominately folks outside of Chinatown. |
 |
| Paul Chuck responds to Steve Lessler's comments about living in Chinatown; Suggests preparing food for Thanksgiving and deliver to SRO'S. Listen to The Sunday Gathering: |
