Announcements

Facilities and Venue Booking – We are switching to use the Church Center App for church-related facility booking requests. Please submit your request using this link.

All congregation bookings for personal use will be considered a rental and subject to rental fees. For ministry bookings, please clearly indicate the supervising pastor who provides direction and nurturing of this ministry. Please contact your lead pastor if you have any questions concerning the supervising pastor of a ministry.

A reminder to please park in the designated lots (highlighted in purple) to avoid having your car towed by the neighbouring buildings. Please refer to the diagram below.

Our Newcomers Small Group has transitioned into a new and exciting way to help people connect with our church family — the Connection Table.
Each Sunday, special tables will be reserved in the gym as a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone to meet others, build friendships, and grow together in community. Whether you’re new or have been attending for some time, we invite you to join us for fellowship and conversation.
If you are new, we encourage you to first stop by the Newcomers Welcome Booth to receive a special welcome gift, then come by the Connection Table to connect with others.
We look forward to getting to know you and helping everyone feel at home!

Rev. Edmund will be on a mission trip from May 25th to June 9th. For any English pastoral matters during his absence, please contact Rev. Glendon.

A reminder to please complete your registration for the upcoming Sports Ministry events ahead of time. Secure your spot before the event date!

HR Department

The Executive Church Board has approved Rev. Wesley Lim’s sabbatical leave from April 1st to September 30th. During Rev. Wes’ sabbatical, please direct all Children’s Ministry inquiries to Deaconess Ella Wong at childrenministry@tccc.ca

In response to the spiritual growth of the children and the development of the ministry, following recruitment and selection, the Lord has guided two pastors to serve in children’s ministry: Pastor Emmy Chik from Cantonese congregation will assume the role of Pastor of Children’s Ministry beginning September 1st; Pastor Richard Qian of English congregation, whose internship period has ended, will assume the role of Pastor of Children’s Ministry on June 1st. Please direct all Children’s Ministry inquiries to Deaconess Ella Wong at childrenministry@tccc.ca. May the Lord protect and guide these two pastors in their new direction of ministry and bless this new milestone in children’s ministry.

With the approval of the church’s executive board, beginning August 1st of this year, Pastor David Zuo has been appointed as the lead pastor of the Mandarin congregation, succeeding Pastor Sean Zhou, who is about to go to Germany for missionary work.

Ordination News

You are cordially invited to the ordination of Pastor Johnny Ng on June 28th, at 2:30 pm. Reception will take place in the gym after the ceremony.

Administration Department

Please be informed that the project will commence soon and will be carried out in different zones. As the Gym and parts of the Sanctuary do not have suspended ceilings, construction work in these areas will generate dust and noise, making them unsuitable for activities during this period.
Due to the project’s nature and unpredictable weather, we may give less than a week’s notice for venue usage suspension. We appreciate your attention to this matter and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Harry (facilities@tccc.ca).

Prayer

Pray for fruitful discussions for our Junction series and for our table talk leaders and attendees this month. Let’s lift up our high school students as they’re finishing up final exams and those who are graduating this month. Pray for our TCCC Southeast Asia STM Team (Rev. Edmund, Raya, and Emily F – May 24th to June 9th), and our Panama Team (Emmanuel F, Jedidiah M, Joyce C, Lucinda C – May 29th to June 10th).

Mandarin Congregation

Pray for God’s guidance and wisdom during the pastoral team transition, for the successful formation and strengthening of the Mandarin Congregation Children’s Ministry Team, and for the July and August Sunday School ministries—including the Missional Disciples Book Club and Seekers’ Class—that participants would grow in their faith, be equipped as disciples, and be drawn closer to Christ.

Cantonese Congregation

Pray for active participation in the Annual General Meeting and for God’s wisdom and preparation for the directors and deacons team in the coming year. Praise the Lord that 20 people accepted Christ during last week’s evangelistic meetings, and pray for their spiritual growth and steadfast faith. Pray that believers would be encouraged to register for the May–August Sunday school classes and grow zealously in their walk with Christ.
