Unity in the Truth

Through the ages, even during the first century, the Church has been embroiled in all kinds of dissent and disagreements. It was the rise of immorality that led the Apostle Paul to write the letters to the Corinthian Church. The invasion of heresies into the Church was another major reason why the various epistles were written. All the writers in the New Testament were united against the false teachings generated out of worldly philosophies. For that reason, the major creeds were created to anchor the Church and her followers to the theological truths and doctrines.

  • The Apostles Creed: Enable believers to affirm their common statement of faith
  • The Nicene Creed: Counter the heresy of Arianism
  • The Athanasian Creed: Affirms the Trinity against Arianism & Gnosticism

Return to Church – July 4th, 2021

It has been over 15 months since we last met together in person. Come July 4th and August 1st, 2021, we will come back to Church in person. Please note the new service time for the English service.

Online Services – Updated 22 Mar 2020

With the current crisis surrounding Covid-19 pandemic, we are moving our communications and services online until further notice. Each Sunday, there will be an online service called “Community Care Network” where we interact via ZOOM. As much as we would like everyone to join us, due to bandwidth, we might have to limit the numbers. Our online services begin at 9.30am each Sunday.

Nevertheless, if you are interested to join in our network, please send an email to TCCCBLOG @ GMAIL dot COM with your NAME, email, and your contact number. We will then be in touch with you on with instructions on how to connect. Thank you.

Covid-19 Update (Mar 14th, 2020)

Update as of March 14th, 2020, 1530 Hours

With the Covid19 Coronavirus being declared a pandemic, many organizations both profit and non-profit have been taking steps with regard to safety and general hygiene. Even though we do not have any reported cases of infection in our congregations, we want to adopt a responsible approach with regard to mass gatherings.

The Church Board has carefully discerned and prayerfully decided to suspend in-person Sunday Services for both Chinese and English language services for two weeks, beginning March 16th, 2020. That means:

  • March 15th, 2020 – Service as Usual (but No After-Service Refreshments)
  • March 22nd, 2020 – No Regular Sunday Service (*Possibly online streaming)
  • March 29th, 2020 – No Regular Sunday Service (*Possibly online streaming)

This decision is not something that we make lightly. For meeting together is a practice encouraged for all believers (Heb 10:24-25). However, special times call for special adjustments. The Covid-19 crisis is one such circumstance. It is not about the absence of faith, but the practice of social responsibility. By suspending our mass gatherings, we hope to join in social solidarity and to love our neighbours. Minimizing our risks of exposure also means we don’t unnecessarily burden our limited public healthcare system. We give our doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals a chance to cope with a potentially deadly outbreak. As of now, the situation is set to get worse before it gets better. There is a Maclean’s report that Canada has not reached “flattening the curve yet.” Do pray for our health professionals.

This is a reminder that even though the Church does not meet in person on Sundays, the Church is never a place built on bricks and concrete, but a called people of God. We will be updating this notice as and when more information is available.

If you have any questions, please contact PCY or send an email to tcccblog @ gmail dot com

Peace,

Six Little Stories (With lots of meaning)

Saw this today, written by anonymous. Hope it inspires you.

  1. “Once all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella. That is faith.
  2. “When you throw babies in the air, they laugh because they know you will catch them. That is trust.
  3. “Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but still we set the alarms to wake up. That is hope.
  4. “We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That is confidence.
  5. “We see the world suffering, but still, we get married and have children. That is love.
  6. “On an old man’s shirt was a written a sentence ‘I am not 80 years old; I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience.’ That is attitude.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.” – Proverbs 25:11
