December, 2005: During
holidays, Brother S. S. Bor delivered a series of three special
messages at Christian Meeting Place. The audio recordings of
these messages are now available in MP3 format on
the Message Ministry page.
December, 2005: Christian
Meeting Place hosted the first Open House Gathering on December 10, 2005
(Saturday) at
the
Meeting Place.
A group of brothers and sisters from Seattle Christian Assembly
came to partake the joy the Lord has given us. Many others
also came, including those who were involved in the building process
from designing, financing to construction, several brothers and
sisters from Grace Bible Church, and neighbors. Brother Bor
extended the appreciation of the church to all who had a part in
the new church building and explained the doctrinal basis of the
church.
November, 2005:
The Autumn 2005 Blacklake Service
Retreat was held 11/25/2005 - 11/26/2005. The
audio messages are available in MP3. It
was the last theme conference on the subject of the history and
the present status of the Church according to the vision of Jesus Christ given to Apostle
John in Revelation (suggested reading: the
book "Orthodoxy of the Church", available
in both Chinese and
English).

November 18, 2005:
We had our first meeting at the Meeting Place
on the Friday of November 18, 2005. Brothers and sisters
came
earlier than usual to help move in briefly and then
joined in prayers. The first meeting in the new building was
marked with praises,
thanksgiving and dedication.
On November 17, 2005 (Thursday), Washington
County granted us the Certificate Of Occupancy for the new
building. Praise the Lord! May His name alone be
glorified.
The construction started on April 4,
2005. We kept a
pictorial journal on this website to illustrate the
construction progress from the groundbreaking. A
new building photo
gallery containing the most recent photos is also available.
Starting from November 18, 2005, we will have
all regular meetings, including both Sunday meetings and Friday
Bible studies, in our new building. All meeting schedules
will revert back to the regular times as shown at the right-side
column on this page.

November 13, 2005: fellowship and
appreciation - The brothers and sisters of Christian Meeting
Place and Grace Bible Church had some time of fellowship and
appreciation on the Sunday of November 13, expecting it to be the
last Sunday we will be meeting at Grace Bible Church before we
move to our new building. Well over 60 people
showed up from both churches. It was a blessed meeting!
We are
deeply grateful to the brothers and sisters of Grace Bible Church
for letting us use their church building to meet on Sundays during
the last four months. But the fellowship went far beyond
just showing appreciation. Our hearts are blessed to see that brothers
and sisters of Grace Bible Church love the Lord. We had true spiritual fellowship based on the life of
our Lord Jesus Christ, rather than on any other foundation.
Thanks and glory be to the Lord.

present on this website the
audio messages
recorded during the conference.

Summer Picnic - July 9, 2005:
Praise the Lord for His testimony in this year's summer picnic.
Though our resolution was "rain or shine," His face was a
shining favor. Praise be to Him, and thank the Lord for the faithfulness
He has given to brothers and sisters. And what joy He added
upon that! May the time we spent before Him be
remembered and counted with His favor.
