建堂消息 (一月) / Church Rebuilding Update (Jan 10)

感谢主给我们预备了更加合适，租金又合理的办公室，签约的过程又非常顺利。

办公室的地址是 33 Ubi Ave 3, #05-55，正式搬迁约在三月中。

市区重建局在1月25日就我们申请发展准证给予回复，提出了20多项必须遵守的条例。愿神引领，帮助绘测师有智慧地应付各项要求，并在10天内给与满意的答复。又愿神感动重建局批准我们有关豁免发展费的申请。

Thank God that He has prepared a temporary office that suits our needs. The rental is reasonable and the process of securing the tenancy was smooth. The office address is 33 Ubi Ave 3 #05-55. We will be moving to the new office in mid-March.

On 25 Jan 10, URA gave a reply to our application for written permission. We are to comply with about 20 requirements. May the Lord grant wisdom for the Architect to provide a satisfactory response within 10 days. May He also move the approving authority to waive the Development Charge.

建堂消息 (十二月) / Church Rebuilding Update (Dec)

好消息

1. 楼面格局经肯定之后，重新计算的总楼面尚有100方米的可用面积。绘测师建议在在原本的6楼天台，加添一个可坐80人的小交谊厅，面向天台。

2. 绘测师及咨询团表示可能把拆除旧楼及地基工程提前一个月，使我们能够在2011年11月搬回新教堂。

请为以上好消息感谢继续为豁免发展费代祷。

Good News

1. The final GFA computed upon confirmation of layout showed that 100m2 is available within the allowable plot ratio. It is now possible to add a small multipurpose hall above the sixth storey with a small courtyard.

2. The Architects and consultants were asked to revise the project schedule and bring forward demolition and foundation works, so that we can move back to the new church building by Nov 2011.

Please continue to pray for waiver of Development Charge.
