Review of the year
Calvaryccc continued to invite Raymond Au-Yeung to be the church pastor, his second contract for a duration of 2 years commenced from 1[st] June 2023. The congregation grew since 2021. A steady flow of BNO newcomers has impacted the church.
A pastor is required to shepherd and teach the congregation. Raymond Au-Yeung had taken up the challenge and he has already made positive impact. A number of courses were set up and well attended. Through visitation and family groups, a number of new converts came forward. The church also held two baptismal service in 2023.
The congregation constitution has changed and integrated well in church life. Many are willing to participate fully by becoming church members. Church members grew in 2023.
Crossway, an English speaking congregation, is also impacted by the influx of these newcomers. Their numbers have increased significantly, especially in children’s work. Other challenges are the language barrier and cultural difference. The Friday Fellowship groups, Cantonese stream has grown from 70 to 80, English stream 27 to 30. Sunday school attendees about 60, three classes of 20.
Sunflower Fellowship for age above 60 was established, started on 25[th] May 2023, would be held on 4[th] Thursday every month.
Bible Study and Sisters’ Fellowship

Other courses were added throughout the year at regular interval. Each course is set for 6 to 8 weeks depending on the length of the course, mainly conducted by pastor Raymond Au-Yeung.
