Church information -- church bulletin

Here is the image of an old church bulletin dated, 1937-1-3, of Chang-hoa Pressbyterian Church in Taiwan, where my father was the associate pre-ordained pastor. I guess he was the person who stenciled the publication. I always thought he was the first person to publish church bulletin in Taiwan. I don't know where he got the idea.
Being numbered as Vol V, no. 1, this obviously not the first issue. Know that he served in that parish for three years, the idea of church bulletin might not be originally his.

Pandemic, lockdown, and the words from above

This first draft is for sharing with Pastor Aline. It's been almost half a year that we, the whole world, simmer in the muddle something we hardly know. Our lives, activities, habits, and many things are affected more and more seriously. Today, as we prepare for the special Sunday that we don't have regular online worship service and are encouraged to participate in the online worship services of other churches, I cannot help but think about what we are expected to get out of this in terms our growth, especially the spiritual growth. Another challenge to me is about capturing, documenting, and telling what we can witness regarding this greatest revelation from the above ever since the creation of this world. One of the key things I receive is about the new ways, including the new forms, of worshiping our creator Father, actually the Trinity God. There must be some message attached to whatever we are going through. The first thing, among all the acts of knowledge development, is...

Career Development, a bird's view 鳥瞰事業發展

I started thinking about career-related issues very early. I wanted to be a musician shortly after I got into grade school. I think it was because the music was easy and fun for me. I generally learned music quicker than my peers. It was a good feeling being ahead of others. I was naturally fascinated by the shape and the sounds of all kinds of musical instruments. I wanted to be an orchestra conductor after I saw a movie about Tanglewood, in my third grade. I literally started learning to conduct privately without telling anybody. After I had a chance to visit a print shop owned by one of my aunts and managed by her brothers I started to think about picking up some experiences working in that shop during summer vacation. I did not dare to bring it up simply because it was too much to commute from my home to the shop even though we were in the same city. When I was in junior high of Chang-jung Christian School I had frequent encounters with one of my cousin, who became Rev. ...
