Dear EFC Irvine church family,
In the midst of corona-virus crisis where people are isolated at home, I want to offer a way for you and your family to stay healthy physically and emotionally. I have created a STRAVA CLUB exclusively for our EFCI family. This is a VIRTUAL running/biking group.

https://www.strava.com/clubs/efci

Even though public gatherings are banned, we can always be active and run/walk/bike INDIVIDUALLY around our neighborhood. Get out in the sunshine, it will give you Vitamin D and also make you feel a lot better. Exercise also helps you build up your immune system so you can fight against sickness.

In order to join and be active:
1) you need to download the STRAVA APP on your smart phone,
2) you need a smart phone with GPS to you can track your workout
3) Or you can sync up your GPS watch (ie. Garmin) to your smart phone, and track with your watch.
There is no physical gathering to run together. You can run whenever you want.
These are individual runs that you do on your own or with your own family. We DO NOT meet up together to run. (until the pandemic dies down)

Stay safe and God be with you!
Pastor KC Liu

Hello EM adults! hope you all had a great summer! As we enter the Fall quarter, we are thinking about combining the young adult fellowship and also the married couples together. As we move back to the Armstrong building, we would like to foster a spirit of unity among our congregations. So i think it would be nice for the married couples to get to know the young adults better, and vice versa. I think a weekly gathering would be nice. We will be separating the times of the Men's and the Women's group. I know it's a big change, but it will be just for the Fall Quarter. Also, this is a good way to share resources and man power. For the Men's Group, I am thinking about doing it on Wednesday nights, from 7-9PM. For the ladies, I am not sure. Maybe the ladies can brainstorm a good time for all of you. Like a Tuesday or Thursday night? (one reason to split the men and women is so that the other parents can watch the kids while the other goes to the group.) So during this quarter of the combined gatherings, we won't officially organize Covenant nor Married Couples meetings. But if you want to get together informally, that's perfectly fine. If the majority of you are willing to try this format for one quarter, then we will go for it. I am proposing that we can start on the first week of September. That will be in three weeks. Please give your thoughts here, and we can discuss it. Thanks!

Dear Couples Fellowship, as you may know, we are trying to gather some community surveys around OC area to understand our community's felt needs. As a church, we want to be able to meet the needs of our community, but we cannot do it if we don't know what they are. If you have a friend or relative who does not attend church regularly right now, we'd love to know their opinions! Just share this link with them, and ask them to fill out the survey. it will only take about 3 minutes. Our goal is to collect 160 surveys by January 31. Therefore, please send it out to as many people as you can (at least 2).THANK YOU so much for being a part of this important project!!

AN ADDITIONAL SERIES OF QUESTIONS WILL HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY AND SERVE YOUR NEEDS. THIS INFORMATION WILL REMAIN STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. (ANSWERS ARE OPTIONAL)
