13 "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the LORD's holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

14 then you will find your joy in the LORD,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob."
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.


~Isaiah 58:13-14

Sorry if any of you weren't informed of a chimes committee.In this post, I hope to clarify any doubts anyone may have over this matter.

If any of you remember, earlier in 2007, xiu juan ls appointed some of us to lead the chimes. A voting session was unanimously held. Samuel was chosen as the chairman of chimes. I was voted for vice chairman. Since then, xiu juan lao shi has been having brief discussions with us on planning chimes for the future, as well as any matters that arose along the way. Hilary later became the secretary and she took down some notes in the beginning of the year during our chimes sessions. Please refer to http://www.freewebs.com/amkchimes/secretarysnotes.htm for some of her notes.

We have not had any formal chimes committee meetings so far this year. For myself, xiu juan ls has been discussing chimes matters with me either through phone calls or face to face.

It was only recently that xiu juan ls increased over-the-phone discussions as she was ill. She suggested arranging for committee meetings once every 3 months for next year's plans. She has also informed me of matters to bring up and discuss. If there was no problem, 2007 committee members would resume duty in 2008. Future changes of committee members will be discussed in the time to come. Since then, I've been trying to arrange committee meetings to plan for next year. It was then planned to be held during the TF camp during free time.

The purpose of chimes committee meetings are to keep chimes organised and recognised as a stable ministry in church. The meetings will ensure that we do not plan last-minute events which may result in disappointment and frustration for all. For example, we would be able to plan for a chimes outing weeks before so that it can be readily approved and confirmed.

Thanks for your understanding. Please do not hesitate to clarify any doubts you may have.
