1. 本週經句: 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。

2. 為水而走 (6K for Water)：非洲許多地方缺乏現代化的取水和濾水系統，居民平均需徒步行走6公里，到水源地去取水。許多未成年、家境貧窮的孩子，為了分擔家務，捨棄學業，幫家裡汲水。但取來的常是不乾淨的髒水，許多人因此患病，甚至早逝。讓我們關注非洲水資源，將愛送到非洲。有意參與這項活動者，請上網http://tiny.cc/2021FECC6K 報名。FECC-Fullerton的弟兄姐妹將在5月22日上午8:00在Craig Regional Park一起為水而走。集合地點是公園內Lot G, Shelter 5，我們將環繞公園健行約50-60分鐘。歡迎大家一起參與。
