Dear ICS parents,
This past year has been a special year of blessings at ICS!
Let me highlight some events below. I also want to encourage you to take a look
at the events and photos on our beautiful blog: http://icsparents.blogspot.hk/
In August 2012 we hosted a lunch to welcome new staff and
teachers, and nothing is better than treating them to “yum cha”, which we did
at Royal Park Hotel restaurant. Throughout the year faithful parents helped
prepare appreciation lunches, providing turkey at Thanksgiving, and helped with
campus decoration during Christmas and Chinese New Year.
P.A. is also keen on bringing the gospel to our community.
In the Fall we hosted the live streaming of Jeremy Lin HK gospel event at our
Lu Kao Hwa Theater. Hundreds came and many raised their hands to accept the
Lord as savior. Then in the Spring we staged a Gospel Dinner at Regal Riverside
with Rev. C.C. Ng as main speaker. His message of Father’s love touched our
hearts and reminded us how little our love towards others is when compared to
God’s love. Mr. Marlon Cheung (our longest serving P.A. Executive Committee
member) also gave his testimony before the message; he shared how God touched
him and healed him even though one doctor gave him only a few months to live.
Marlon is now almost cleared of cancer cells and continue to use his testimony
to glorify God. Praise the Lord!
In late April the P.A. hosted a special evening gathering
called Time with ABBA, and invited school administrators, teachers, staff,
parents and students to form a chain of blessings after some great worship. All
who came were so blessed, we want to give thanks to our Father and will
continue doing it in various forms in the future.
Yes, P.A. collects membership fees from many parents and we
use our money wisely to benefit the community. To recognize Mr. Tim Wong’s many
years of service at ICS, we donated money to help purchase a new die-cut
machine at KG campus, to save teachers from traveling to Shek Mun for what was
previously the only school set. We also volunteered and purchased good books
and DVDs and assembled them into what we call the Parent Resource section of
the Secondary Library. Please check these out as great family entertainment and
parenting resources at home. As usual , we also supported the Fall Festival
(sponsoring the jumping gym), HS Camp, Alpha Camp, Vida Nueva Camp, and HS and
MS Fellowships with snacks, food and prayers! Talking about prayers, there are
many daytime and evening time prayer meetings organized by our P.A. prayer coordinators.
Many grades also have their specific grade level prayer cells that meet
regularly. We pray you can join one next year, and help bless ICS to become
what God wants us to be!
Blessings,
Pastor Fai Chan
On Behalf of the P.A. Executive Committee
