Mandarin Multiply Fellowship華語倍加團契
Mandarin Multiply Fellowship was started in January 2022. The purpose of building this fellowship is to gather St. Thomas' Mandarin-speaking sisters and brothers regularly to help strengthen their relationship with God and with one another through an in-depth discussion on a topic of Christian faith during their online meeting each week.
Currently, members of Mandarin Multiply Fellowship are gathered every Tuesday evening 7:30-8:30 via Messenger for discussion and fellowship time. At the end of each gathering, they would also pray for the need of our church and of one another. Every Mandarin-speaking sister and brother is welcome to join us!
華語倍加團契創立於2022年一月,建立此團契的目標主要在於讓聖多馬堂的華語弟兄姊妹能於每週定期於線上聚會,一同深入研討基督信仰的一個主題,藉以加深與神的關係及與彼此的連結。目前,華語倍加團契的聚會時間是每週二晚上7:30-8:30透過 Messenger進行討論及團契時間。聚會結束前,大家也都會為教會及彼此的需要來代禱。所有說華語的弟兄姊妹都歡迎參加!
St. Thomas congregation members have been helping pick up surplus food from 5 schools in Hacienda Heights for East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless one day a week and deliver it to their new location, La Puente Methodist Church. The coalition really appreciates this effort and so do the schools, since it can be consumed by those who need it and not thrown in the trash. We also collect clothing and toiletries for the needy and homeless every winter.
聖多馬堂參與東聖蓋博谷露宿者協會,每週一次協助他們到哈崗地區的五所學校將多餘的食物運送至協會的新據點-拉蓬特衛理公會。此協會及學校都十分感謝我們所做的努力,因為可以避免浪費食物,也讓需要的人得到食物的供應。此外,教會弟兄姊妹也於每年冬天為有需要的人及露宿者捐助衣物及衛生用品。
