親愛的匯點人，

教堂的電力供應故障已將近一個星期。一個小時前我們還無法發送和接收電子郵件，多謝Vick和Jacky弟兄的幫助。我們的總承建商和電機工程分判商仍在努力找出造成停電的原因。請禱告他們能很快找出並解決問題。

如果你關心你屬靈的家，求主讓你能出席本星期五晚上的匯點健康改革方案禱告會。時間是晚上8:00pm。教牧同工會分享恢復教會健康的構思和計劃。教會將提供保姆服務。在星期日我們會有一個Town Hall Meeting會議，讓你有機會表達你的意見。

我們這個星期日會守主餐。夏令時間在星期日結朿，請不要忘記睡前把你的鐘撥後一小時！

祈禱事項：

1. 為著教會的電路問題感謝讚美神，雖然有不方便的地方，但神仍然供應我們教會有足夠的電力來維持主日的聚會以及平時的運作。求神使我們能夠為著我們所擁有的來感謝神而不會只為著我們所沒有的來抱怨。
2. 請為我們教會的承建商和負責設計教會電路的公司代禱，求神使他們能夠找出電路的問題並能盡快的把問題解決。
3. 請為各事工部門和教會委員會代禱，他們正在預備明年事工的財政預算。求神使他們能夠成為忠心的管家來管理神所賜給教會的資源。
4. 請為匯點的健康教會改革方案代禱，求神使教牧同工們能夠收集到很多的意見，回應，和建議來使改革方案更加的完善。求神使用這個改革方案來幫助教會變得更加健康。
5. 請為國語事工的工作團隊代禱，他們在上週六開會計劃如何開展國語的事工。求神賜給他們有異象並帶領他們去把基督的福音傳給更多講國語的朋友。

Dear basic

The church has been running with limited power for almost a week. We couldn’t send and receive email until an hour ago with the help of brother Vick and Jacky. Our general contractor and the electrical sub-contractor are still trying to figure out what caused the power outage. Please pray that they would find out soon and fix the problem.

If you care about your spiritual home, I pray that you would make an effort to attend this Friday evening’s Crosspoint Health Care Reform prayer meeting beginning at 8. The pastoral staff would like to share with you what we are contemplating to do for restoring the health of  our church. Babysitting service will be provided. We will give you a chance to express your opinions and ask questions on Sunday at the town hall meeting.

We will observe the Lord’s Supper this Sunday and don’t forget to turn your clock/watch one hour backward before going to bed!

Prayer requests:

1. Praise and thank God for the power outage which made us aware of the blessings that we have been enjoying. Pray that we would learn to appreciate what we have and NOT to complaint what we don’t have.
2. Pray for our general contractor and electrical sub-contractor that they would discover the problem of our power outage and fix it accordingly.
3. Pray for various ministry units and the church council as they are working on and reviewing the ministry budget for 2010. Pray that they would be good steward of God’s given resources to the church.
4. Pray for Crosspoint’s health care reform that the pastoral staff would collect ideas, inputs and feedback to refine their reform plan so that we would be growing healthier in the years to come.
5. Pray for the Mandarin ministry task force who are going to meet this weekend for brainstorming ideas to develop the ministry. Pray for God’s vision and His leadership in reaching many more Mandarin speaking people for Christ.
