弟兄姊妹平安,                      

昨天(6/11) 廣東話組清晨茶座專題講座,在開始Youtube直播時,發生了網絡傳達障礙,有視像而沒有音頻,擾攘了20多分鐘仍未能解決問題,我們被迫順延下週五舉行。突然的中斷,既使教會肢體失望,更讓我們邀請來的親友掃興,在此致歉。我們努力檢討過失,並計劃增添電子器材,以穩定網絡音像的製作。

威爾斯鎖國,卡迪夫封城,教會被迫暫停實體崇拜。我們閉關在家已經10多天了,正等候下週一的開關,也期盼下主日的實體崇拜和祈禱會。英格蘭在星期四(5/11)正開始一個月最嚴峻的鎖國隔離政策。在這疫情中,多謝海外肢體對英國弟兄姊妹的關懷問候代禱,我們知道了,謝謝你們。

新型冠狀病毒再次在地球不同角落擴散, 2020年肯定是歷史上不能被遺忘的一年。在全人類的安靜閉關中,我們更多時間獨處,與家人相處,與神親近,更多聯繫與遠方的親戚朋友,彼此問安,互相祝福。在二波疫情爆發中,我們要接受了網絡崇拜並不是短期的安排,而是長期持久的必須。我們要在在網絡上敬拜,也要在網絡上建立團契,肢體互助,並且參與服侍社群,更要藉着網絡去見證救恩,傳揚福音。

2020年最後的三個月,我們一同在主日崇拜中學習「信靠上帝」的功課,有八段不同的經文,幫助我們學習怎樣放下自我的主觀,投入信靠倚賴上帝給我們的應許。

‘人子啊呀!這些骸骨能夠復活嗎?’
‘主耶和華啊!你是知道的。’
‘人子啊!你向這些骸骨發預言說,枯乾的骸骨啊!要聽耶和華的話。’

7th November 2020

Dear brothers and sisters,

The medical talk of the Cantonese Morning Café on 6th November had encountered technical problems which could not be solved over 20 minutes and has to be postponed to next Friday. My sincere apology for the disappointment of church members and those invited by this sudden interruption.  We are reviewing our faults and plan to purchase more electronic equipment to stabilize the online production.

With the firebreak lockdown of Wales and Cardiff, we are forced to stop our physical Service in church. We are looking forward to coming out of the lockdown on Monday, and the physical Service and prayer meeting a week Sunday. England has started their 4-week lockdown from Thursday 5th. Many overseas brothers and sisters have sent us greetings and care and prayers. Thank you.

The Pandemic has continued to spread to every corner of the earth and makes 2020 a distinctive year. All mankind has spent most time at home. We have more time for ourselves and families and God; and we contact our overseas relatives and friends more frequently, sending blessings to each other. We have to accept the fact that our online Service will last for a long time. We have to worship online, fellowship online, helping each other and serving the community, witnessing the salvation and sharing the Gospel.

We are learning the lesson on ‘Trust the Lord’ in the last quarter’s Sunday Services from 8 passages of the Scripture, to help us put aside our own opinions and put our faith in God’s promises.

‘Son of man, can these bones live?’

‘Sovereign Lord, you alone know.’

‘Son of man, prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!’

In Him,

Sam Wong
