“Phone Sing” Worship Team 齊來拜一拜 Testimonials #1

我們渴慕「與主心連過今年」,同伴時光 或 Team Time 都是我們很大的助力。最近疫情嚴峻,主使我們利用問題,設計、安排“Phone Sing” Worship Team 齊來拜一拜。 在首週(三月十六至二十日)實行以來, 全教會各組反應熱烈,大得幫助,以下是少部份参加弟兄姊妹的心聲分享:(按:不少弟兄姊妹是天天參予,也有不少在一天內參予超過一個時段。) Thank God I can join many groups of phone sing worship teams each day. I feel very uplifted and nourished each time. Also, I enjoy and treasure that I can have fellowship with brothers and sisters of different groups. Alice Jiang I enjoyed being able to worship over the phone with brothers and sisters from all different groups each morning. This gave me comfort and encouragement to face the difficult times at work every day during the pandemic. Amy Deng 今天,我参加丰盛敬拜看詩篇18篇,感受心中很平安。我的力量、祝福和應許從神而來。外面世界變化、遭遇風浪,但祂是平靜風浪的神。在祂裡面,我有平安、力量,內心感受支持;有祂陪我一起充滿信心、喜樂走過人生的每一個階段。「主耶穌啊,我寶貴有你!」 Michael Yu 雖然無法親自與兄弟姐妹見面,但我們仍然可以一起敬拜, 體會整個敬拜時光很豐富。上班前與午飯時段,也可以有份參與敬拜。多個可選擇的時段,靈活適合上班一族。一次又一次地到主面前。我感到很滿意。 Heidi Wan 在 Phone Sing

快樂人生齊分享-金鑽年華

二零一九 「義人的路,好像黎明的光, 越照越明, 直到日午。」(箴言4:18) 惟有真實、全能的神能作出如此保證。不論我們是年逾六十, 或九十,甚至一百二十,在祂都是實在的,祂確是使人有盼望的神。 我們除了星期日全家一起聚集之外,週三更是金鑽老友記的温馨時光。每次都精采難忘。內容不可缺少的有:與神親近敬拜、唱詩、學習如何認識經歷神、 小組互動分享、慶祝和聚餐。每位老友記(無論是說粵語或是說普通話的) 都楽在其中。 十一月份起,我們添加了「輕鬆星期三」,連街坊(非常規會友) 都帶同美食一同輕鬆一下,嘻吓笑聲响個不停。勿以為紙牌、飛行棋、波子棋和層層疊遊戲等只是年青人專屬的玩兒。 十二月份,我們舉辦了第一屆「冬奥運動會」。我們在重重的障礙中完成比賽。這意味着信主耶稣的人不一定事事一帆風順,也許會遇上疾病、家庭和工作上的困難。但有主能使我們歡然面對一切,並且有一群堅心依靠神的同路人,為我們喊:加油! 二零二零年,快樂人生齊分享, 你都可以有份!

不一樣的聖誕自助火鍋 – 淑玲

十二月二十五日降生節當晚,中文家庭團舉辦了一個聖誕自助火鍋聯歡晚會,逾八十多人參與,場面溫馨熱鬧,大人小孩都盡興而歸。 今年雖然不少弟兄姊妹出外往菲律賓團隊去,家庭團的弟兄姊妹仍不忘將福音介紹給身邊的人,踴躍邀請新朋友來。當晚美食琳琅滿目,奬品豐富,滿足口福之餘,又能得到禮物,每個家庭都笑逐顏開,全賴一班弟兄姊妹用心預備,以及新朋友的仗義幫忙。 當晩幽默的司儀Harold、Thomas和阿Wing 與眾同樂,與在場人士一起唱詩歌,又一起玩遊戲。當阿Wing 和Angela 以及 Thomas 和 Karen 分享他們家庭的見證時,可謂高潮迭起,感謝神保守他們的家庭經過一次又一次的難關,雖經歷艱難,他們的臉上都流露出喜樂的笑容。 誠然,家庭的珍寶就是孩子們。多謝Angela,阿華和Adeline 豐富的預備,孩子們有玩的、有吃的、有做聖誕手工的,又一起跳舞和玩集體遊戲,加上禮物多籮籮,令孩子們都歡天喜地! 曲終人散之際,一位新朋友説很喜歡到我們這裡來,人們多是上街吃飯,這裡卻像大家庭一樣,很溫馨熱鬧,帶給她一個最開心的聖誕節呢!

Laying on of Hands for Spiritual Gifts and Church Unity

Nov 11, 2019 When we walk out the truth, God will bless us accordingly.  By this past September, through ordaining elders and deacons, we acknowledge how God set up the leadership and administration orderly in place of God’s family.  We also learn to submit to one another and to work together as body of Christ.  Laying on of hands is not supernatural/special experience, but it is a symbolism, testifying openly of this unity, just as baptism testifying the union with God.  God gives us spiritual gifts according to His kind intention for each one of us.  And we acquire spiritual

Africa and India missions team sharing

11/11/2019 – Whole Church meeting Violin: I felt the Lord’s passion as I considered the situation in South India while drawing near to God one morning. The brothers there are already all full-time ministers, even they do not have a deep understanding of the truths yet.  But the Lord had already prepared all things for us. We were able to meet with them at the right time and help them. This quickened the ministry and caused it to prosper. I experienced His care for this movement. Alison: I realized the importance of speaking up when I was in Zambia. I

The Path of Deeply Experiencing God – Worship

Give thanks to God for leading the Church to walk on the path of deeply experiencing Him always.  We have various arrangements throughout the week to help brothers and sisters enjoy the essence of worship.  There are morning pursuit teams on Mondays and Fridays, and Wednesday Chinese morning team.  On top of these, there is always a fair amount of worship time together on Wednesday church prayer meeting and the whole-church meeting on Friday evenings, and Sunday meetings. Besides these arrangements, every group purposely arrange and design worships during partner-time and team-times according to the needs and conditions of brothers

The Core of the Church: Cell Group

With one heart, the whole church has committed to walking on the path of building the church that is after His heart.  Every Wednesday since early September, we set aside a time during the prayer meeting for all groups to have cell group gatherings.  To date, this has been ongoing for a month. We all have gained the benefits of this practice, and we have experienced the power of cell groups that the Bible describes. When Brother Sermon visited the Vancouver church recently, he especially shared with us that practicing cell groups is one of the essential elements of building

A New Stage for the Vancouver Church

September 2019 is a New Stage for the Vancouver Church. Give thanks to God, who raised up brothers and sisters to bless many.  We ordained elders and deacons according to the Biblical teachings. At the evening meeting on Sept. 6, Brother Sermon explained “The Elders and Deacons in the Bible” to help us understand the Biblical teaching, and to willingly practice the truth, love this family, and to treasure God’s commission on us, so many more will understand His will. The Lord is our best role model. Before He was betrayed, He washed the disciples’ feet.  He even offered His

快樂地一同追求

這個暑假特別的安排,渴望每個弟兄姊妹能更踏穩享受永生的道路;雖未能天天聚集,但在週一、三及五早上都有追求team時光,而每個週末,無論陰晴,或是下雨,我們不分團組,不分語言,不分年紀,踴躍地走在一起追求。 感謝主為我們保存了這優美的公園(Beaconsfield Park),再次走近這個公園,不少曾經在這裡得著益處的弟兄姊妹,都牽起許多寶貴而甜密的回憶。年青家庭的弟兄姊妹,更樂意提早把孩子安頓好,一起參與追求,彼此激發要主的心。 Violin 的帶動操練,很幫助掌握親近經歷神的一些關鍵,連初信也即時有享受。我們在學習和操練的過程中,彼此有交流及回應,更深刻學會如何親近經歷神,進而在日常生活中實踐,變成我們的生活。 遇見主,心靈被燃點,自然渴望服侍主!所以追求team也有事奉方面的提點及訓繰,在實行的觀念上越發更新,一起調較,為前面能為主多得人配合。 今年,加添了輕鬆時段,大家一起跳健身舞,既開心,又能運動身體,幫助全人的追求。除此之外,愛心美食及相交時光更是不可少,大家藉此機會認識自己團組以外的弟兄姊妹,彼此相交,真是喜樂滿足。 感受復興在蔓延!每次相聚的圈子愈來愈大,愈來愈多弟兄姊妹聞風而至,想一起明白、體會和感受主在其中所賜下的恩福。願主得著許多渴慕祂的知己! 「願你吸引我,我們便快跑跟隨你。」雅歌1:4
