*** LAKE YALE RETREAT (Facebook: LY '08 - *REBIRTH*)
Lake Yale REGISTRATION to attend BEGINS NOW! (contact Josh, or tell him this Friday)

The THEME for this year: "What is living the life God intended? And what's ethnicity and culture got to do with it?" (It has to do with our Asian American culture and Christianity)

Lake Yale is an annual Chinese and Asian American Churches Summer Retreat held
this year from Friday, May 23 to Sunday, May 25.

We will DEFINITELY have 2 speakers this year. One for the youth (middle school - high school) and one for the young adults (college and up). This is VERY exciting because the speakers have a background in raising churches specifically for Asian Americans. (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.) Tell your friends! They do NOT have to be Chinese since the audience for our theme will cover the broader Asian-American arena and will be applicable to people from other ethnicities as well. This year will include Christians from Korean and Vietnamese churches around Florida.

Orlando Chinese Evangelical Christian Church (OCECC) is looking for anyone who
would be interested in helping out in this year's several
categories of services:

Follow-Up Ministry
Hospitality
Music Worship
Media
Youth Counselors
College/Young Adult Counselors
Prayer Team
Speakers Workshops and Assistants

If you are interested in helping out, please look over the attached form [Lake
Yale 2008-Volunteers] which will explain in further detail. Contact Josh at jnlin85@ufl.edu, or 407-923-5788 if you want to help or if you want to attend. Check out facebook group: LY '08 - *REBIRTH*. If you want to help out we need to know ASAP.

*** Tabling
We're going to be tabling at the religious organization fair on March 26th (Wednesday) at the Plaza of the Americas.
It'll be from 11-2, so we need at least 3 people from:

10:45 to 11:45 (to set up and get started)
11:45 to 12:45
12:45 to 1:45 (or till it ends)

so far we have enough people at each time slot, but feel free stop by if you are free during this time

*** Ramp Build
We will also be having a ramp build this coming saturday, i realize that it is also GCCC's picnic. But if your able to come out please let me know, here is the address: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/2137+NE+7th+Pl+Gainesville+FL+32641-5946/ the ramp will be about 14 ft so its pretty small, we want to be at the ramp site by 9:15 the ramp should not take long, we hope to finish just after 12 and hopefully before 1. Come together for fellowship and show your love for the people in need, lets come together and show the world that the love of Christ is here and his saving power is now.
