On September 7th, we had a parent meeting for brothers and sisters whose children are taken care of by the Alpha and Smarties coworkers. It was a very positive, warm and insightful gathering. The coworkers who help the children on Sundays shared their joys and challenges in helping the kids. At the same time, their parents appreciated all the coworkers’ efforts and understood their challenges. They all came to an understanding that we cannot depend on just the limited hours of fellowship time on Sundays to have impact on the children. The greatest influence and best shepherds for the children are the parents in their daily life. A plan is set for the coworkers to call the parents during the week and pray with them. And the parents will pray with their children as often as possible. May the Lord bless this practical plan to be most fruitful for the blessing of each family!
祝福兒童的新計劃
9月7日，我們舉辦一個家長會，Alpha團和Smarties團的同工與團裏弟妹的家長有相當正面、積極、及充滿溫情的聚會。Alpha和Smarties的同工分享他們幫助孩子所得的喜悅及挑戰，家長亦十分欣賞同工們的努力，也明白他們面對的挑戰。大家都體會星期日的時間有限，單靠團契時光確實不足以影響孩子很深，而父母就就是孩子最大的影響和真正的牧者；日常生活就是最好的機會去陪養子女。新計劃是讓Alpha和Smarties同工在週間致電家長並一同禱告。家長亦會盡量抽出時間和子女一同禱告。願主使計劃能順利進行，並成為家長及兒童的最大祝福。
