ONSITE CHURCH SERVICE | 线下主日礼拜
Starting in November 2022, ICS will begin holding offline worship services. Initially, only a maximum of 90 people were allowed to attend each service, so we had to organize four Sunday services every week to accommodate more people and welcome them into the house of God.
ICS自2022年11月开始正式从开始线下礼拜。一开始的只有最多可以90个人参加礼拜，所以我们每周要准备四场连续的主日礼拜只为了可以让更多的人加入到主的家庭。

GOOD WORKS | 拓展事工
One of the ways we practice being a family blessed to bless the community and the nations is through our annual Charity Golf Tournament. For the past 12 years, ICS has been raising funds for various beneficiaries in need within the community. This charity event is an outreach opportunity for golfers, corporations, and individuals wishing to contribute to each year’s chosen cause(s). It is more blessed to give than to receive!
作为一个家庭祝福社区和国家的方式之一是通过我们的年度慈善高尔夫锦标赛。在过去的12年里，ICS一直在为社区内有需要的各种受益人筹集资金。这项慈善活动是高尔夫球手、企业和个人希望为每年选定的事业做出贡献的一次拓展机会。给予比接受更有福!
In the 2023 Charity Golf Tournament, we raised RMB 600,000 to support the beneficiary, the 爱米粒 Dementia Family Support Group.
在2023年慈善高尔夫球锦标赛中，我们筹集了人民币60万元用于支持受益人爱米粒认知症支持小组。
