Welcome to TTOF (Table Tennis Outreach Fellowship) which is a group that is affiliated with the Outreach Ministry of CBCGB (Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston) at Lexington, MA. Please see the Vision Of Church 教会的异象.

History and Background:

TTOF was founded in May of 2008 with the idea of forming a Table Tennis ministry where the members of different fellowship groups of CBCGB come together playing table tennis and getting to know each other, along with the opportunity of outreach to other family members and friends.

Our mission and goals are:

(1)   To promote the fellowship between members of different groups within CBCGB.

(2)   To reach out to families, friends and any seekers outside the church.

In July 2008, a small group of 4 to 6 people started playing on Thursday nights in the basement of the church using the two used tables left over from the previous Chinese School.

By early September 2008, two new tables arrived after the fund was approved by the Board of Deacons. By early October the official announcement was made and two coordinators appointed.

As the Thursday night session starts to get crowded, we extended the schedule by adding Saturday night with family potluck dinner from 5pm to 10pm.The goal of the family potluck dinner is to bring the players and friends to sit down together for about one hour during the table tennis games and get acquainted well with each other.

By 2015, TTOF had expanded to 7 tables for games and practice, with one robot station for coaching and training. In 2020, fellowship activities temporarily halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic but quickly resumed in 2021.

As of December 2023, TTOF boasts 10 tables for games and practice, along with one robot station for coaching and training.

Membership:

TTOF is NOT a club or a professional league with any fee (e.g. membership fee). Any new comers from anywhere are welcome to our group.

TTOF welcomes anyone who likes to join the group. We encourage individuals to reach out and bring their family members and friends.

Fund Raising:

Any ongoing expense for maintenance and equipment comes from free-will offering and donation from the church members. During each meeting, a donation box will be placed to collect the offering. You can either make the check payable to either CBCGB or Treasurer of TTOF with the memo: TTOF expense. Checks payable to CBCGB can be tax deductible but checks payable to TTOF Treasurer will not. The checks made payable to CBCGB will be designated to general fund and will be used for all church activities. If you wish your donation to be used specifically for TTOF expense, please write your check payable to Rudolph Cheung who is the current Treasurer of TTOF.
