- Praise God! FECC Annual Membership meeting completed successfully last Sunday. 277 members were in attendance, which met the required quorum. Members approved the 2022 budget of 2 million, elected four new Deacons for Cerritos: Sue Chen, Joseph Huang, Rosa Siu and Davis Tang; one new deacon for Fullerton: Wendy Liang; two new deacons for Oakland: Bin Ouyang and Fran Shen; two new deacons for East Lansing: Shirley Boucha and Yanyan Xing and 44 FECA delegates for the 2022 convention.
- It’s Baptismal Sunday today! Let us rejoice as six brothers and sisters from our Oakland campus and one sister from our Cerritos Mandarin Morning congregation, are prepared to profess their faith in Jesus Christ publicly through baptism this morning. Please pray that God will strengthen their faith and let them experience Him in deeper ways.
- Operation Christmas Child: Would you like to help bring a Christmas blessing to children in need around the world, please consider assembling a shoebox filled with essentials and gifts. We will have a shoebox drop off by November 21 at Cerritos campus. You may also drop off the shoeboxes to church office during the weekdays. Please see samaritanspurse.org for information concerning the box contents.
- Thanksgiving Service, Thursday, November 25: You are invited to our Thanksgiving Service on Thursday, November 25, at 10:30 AM at our Cerritos campus. Brothers and sisters from Fullerton campus are welcome to join. Oakland campus will have their thanksgiving service at 11 AM (EST), and East Lansing congregation is welcomed.
- As you give thanks to God for His blessings, would you consider giving a special Thanksgiving offering this year? Please make all offering checks out to “FECC”. To differentiate this giving from the general fund and missions giving, please mark “thanksgiving offering” on your envelope or the memo line. In all ways let us give thanks and praises to our God.

「回歸先知書」簡介 小先知書的最後三卷：哈該書、撒迦利亞書和瑪拉基書慣稱為回歸先知書。哈該、撒迦利亞和瑪拉基都是被擄回歸至耶路撒冷時期的先知，哈該和撒迦利亞在前，瑪拉基在後。神藉著這三位先知鼓勵回歸子民體驗神的信實與同在，努力重建聖殿，並喚醒當時回歸之民沉睡、冷淡的靈性，闡述復興之道在於子民謹守與神立約的關係。其中撒迦利亞書還記載多個異象與預言，讓人看到耶和華是全地的王，以及神的國度與權能、祂對以色列與耶路撒冷的永恆計畫、和將來彌賽亞國度的來臨。此三卷書不僅針對當時的以色列民，實則對於每一個世代的信徒都會帶來激勵和盼望。
