Our Final Sunday Worship at St. Luke's

#2026-0628

Today, the three of us—James, Jean, and I—shared a special experience during Sunday worship, as it was our final Sunday (and perhaps our last Sunday here in 2026) at St. Luke's Church in Hualien.

We are planning to return soon to Wufeng, where Jean and I usually live in what we consider our second hometown. James will come with us and continue his high school studies in Taichung City.

Our dear brothers and sisters at St. Luke's Episcopal Church warmly prayed for our family, the Liangs. They also prepared thoughtful gifts for us, along with a beautiful farewell card on which many of them wrote heartfelt messages that deeply touched our hearts.

Dear friends, we are truly grateful for your love, generosity, and friendship. You have not only made this past year so meaningful for us, but have also filled us with new hope and joy as we look forward to the future with greater confidence.

We love each of you as well, and we especially thank our Lord for giving us the opportunity to come to know one another and to worship God our Father together in the name of Jesus Christ.

May God richly bless each one of you, now and forevermore.

High School Admission Applicaton

#2026-0625

Every journey leaves footprints in time.

⸺凡走過必留痕跡。

Today, Jean and I accompanied our grandson James to NCHU Affiliated Agricultural High School to complete his high school admission application. Everything went smoothly.

⸺今天陪孫子 Y. F. 來興大附農辦理 115 學年度中投區免試升學「個別報名」，過程一切順利。

We pray that throughout his years in senior high school, he will continue to be guided and blessed, growing in knowledge and wisdom, character and virtue, and health and courage. May he keep moving forward, making steady progress and reaching ever greater heights.

⸺但願 Y. F. 未來的高中 (職) 求學歷程，也都有主引領，蒙恩得福，懂得在「知識 (智)、品德 (仁)、健康 (勇)」三方面，都要 [能] 兼顧，進步再進步，更上一層樓。

十個職場人的故事 (A Personal Note)

#2026-0621B

A Note on My Personal Testimony

Knowing that Jean, our grandson James, and I will soon be leaving Hualien in early July, the Rev. Minglong Wu, vicar of St. Luke's Church, invited me to be the first speaker in a special program called "Ten Workers' Stories" (十個職場人的故事).

I felt honored by the invitation. As the first person to share a personal testimony, I also realized that I had considerable freedom in choosing what to talk about. I could simply share whatever I enjoyed and whatever I thought might be meaningful to our brothers and sisters at church.

"Being the first speaker doesn't have to be a big challenge," I told myself. Rather than taking the role too seriously, I could simply be the one to get the ball rolling—or, as expressed in the Chinese phrase 拋磚引玉, the one who "throws out a brick to attract jade."

With that in mind, I chose to share two categories of "my favorites" at St. Luke's this afternoon:

Part One: 花蓮實景～花蓮十景：我的最愛

(My Ten Favorite Scenic Spots in Hualien)

Part Two: 優美感人的詩歌：我的最愛

(My Favorite Hymns and Songs at St. Luke's)

I was grateful for the warm response from everyone, and I hope this small beginning may encourage others to share their own stories in the weeks ahead.

(See the photos and video below for some of the highlights.)
