Showing Chung Chi's emphasis on scriptures, participants can choose chapters and verses in Gospel of John for writing or making art pieces according to the selected verses (e.g. calligraphy, ink brush, paintings, crafting).

Emphasizing the significance of historical studies, participants could share stories on the theme "Theological Education" with a video or a slide show.
