在此特別推薦 Catherine Lee 所寫的一篇文章（可點閱）：Yes! Celebrating 10 Exciting Years of Sister-School Partnership: St. James, Taichung and Cambridge-Ellis, Boston!

該文甫於今日 (April 25, 2017) 發表在她個人的部落格 (blog) 並已連結至臉書 (Facebook)。我拜讀之餘，覺得圖文並茂、記錄詳實，值得推介。凡對於這次台中聖雅各幼兒園的姊妹校 Cambridge-Ellis School, in Boston 園長 Gerlinda 等人專程來訪，有興趣者，均可透過上面的連結，加以點閱。［相關文章：A Quick Visit to NTT (台中國家歌劇院) ］

以下照片則是從該文所附的照片插圖中，選取我想要「轉分享」的，跟我們關係最密切的少數幾張罷了：Thank you Catherine for sharing these photos (and many more in your blog post) with us!

The English Congregation（照片轉貼）

#2017-0424

-- David Puckett, Elaine Lai, and Jerry Liang -- .

Pictures on this page were originally shared by Elaine Lai, who came to St. James' English service for the first time. She said she was very pleased to start joining us in both the Sunday worship and the coffee hour right after the service. I was very happy about her coming, because she is one of the SJEG group members. (This small group, organized by me, meets in this same room for Bible study every Friday night from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)

By the way, today is the 2nd Sunday of Easter, and the gospel for today is from The Gospel of John, chapter 20, verses 19 to 31, which was composed of three sections: (1) Jesus appears to his disciples, (2) Jesus and Thomas, and (3) the purpose of this book. While David preached a sermon this morning, he did not preach it in the usual way. He pretended that he was the "doubting Thomas." In an interesting and meaningful way David did a lively role play! I was excited to hear such a sermon, which seemed to be given by Doubting Thomas, but not by David. -- And Elaine says she was excited about that, too.

感謝 Elaine Lai 透過「LINE／連我」在

SJEG 英文小組 和 St. James' Church 兩個群組

中分享下列照片，我要轉貼並說一聲 THANK YOU。

A Quick Visit to NTT (台中國家歌劇院)

#2017-0420

What do you see in this picture?

Only a butterfly?

Or more?

Accompanied by Qiaoling Zheng (a Chinese teacher at CES), Ms. Gerlinda (principal of Cambridge-Ellis School, in Boston) and her husband (whose name sounds like "shook-keel" for me but I don't really know how to spell) are visiting St. James' Preschool, in Taichung. They arrived here on Tuesday and will be leaving soon for Taipei on Friday.

On Tuesday evening we had a welcome party for them, which Jean and I were invited to join in, as well. And now on Thursday afternoon, as a group of 10, including our 3 guests and 7 St. James' representatives such as Ms. Susan Chen (principal of St. James' Preschool, in Taichung) -- we went together and visited NTT (the National Taichung Theater or 台中國家歌劇院), where I took the following pictures. -- For more information of NTT, you may click and see: Venue Info (空間介紹).
