親愛的匯點人，

今天傍晚，在禮拜堂將會有一個讚美和分享的晚會。我一向鼓勵弟兄姊妹能開口分享我們在購買，改建和裝修新堂的過程中，你們的想法，感受和經歷。我們的神是如此厚待我們，我們應該學習如何榮耀祂，在眾人前彰顯出祂的成就！

下星期六，8月8日，在禮拜堂上午10時至下午5時，我們將有臨時舉辦的培訓活動，題目是關懷和愛心事工。當我們說要建立和發展我們的小組事工的時候，我們也需要通過互相關懷照顧，建立和發展我們肢體之間的關係。培訓導師是一位經驗輔導員，也是香港中國神學研究院的講師。培訓的重點是裝備平信徒，作為一個好的傾聽者和安慰者的技巧和自覺性。請盡快向你的小組組長報名！

如果你的小童年齡由4歲至10歲，你可以為他們登記參加在8月9日從新開始的MCR親子互動計劃。我們將要幫助你培育年幼子女不僅能有愛心關顧，而且在思想，行為，朋友交往以至在道德決策上，都學會以聖經為基礎。我還鼓勵你藉此機會邀請和歡迎新的家庭朋友與你一起參加！

祈禱事項：

1. 感謝讚美神，讓我們在這個時代出生，能與祂成為合作夥伴，觸動這個世界。求主讓我們能重新安排我們的優先次序，學習以我們的生命來讚美祂。
2. 為我們能對神在我們生命中的恩典和作為有更敏銳的體會禱告，讓我們學會以謝恩代替抱怨。祈求每日能歡欣快樂，讓平安臨到我們身上。
3. 為MCR親子互動計劃招聘教師禱告。求主讓我們能找到合適的教師，協助拓展MCR秋季的事工。
4. 為聖經研習班的學生禱告。求主讓他們能透過實踐所學的來轉化他們的生命。
5. 求聖靈賜我們愛心關懷，幫忙建立教會成為一個屬靈的家庭和一個得休息和慰藉的避風港！

Dear Crosspoint basic

This evening, we will have a praise and sharing time at 8 in our worship center. I’ve been encouraging you to open your mouth sharing your thought, feelings and experiences during our purchase, renovation and decoration process of our new spiritual home. God has been so gracious to us and we should learn to honor Him by making His works in our life known!

Next Sat., 8/8, we will have an impromptu training event at the church from 10 am to 5 pm on caring ministry. When we say that we need to build or develop our small group, we need to build and develop our relationship through caring one another. The trainer is a very experienced counselor and seminary lecturer from China Graduate School of Theology in HK. The focus of the training is equip lay people like you with skills and self awareness on being a good listener and comforter. Please sign up with your small group leaders asap!

If you have children between 4-10, you may want to enroll them at MCR beginning 8/9. We would like to help you raise your kids not only with tender loving care, but teach them how to think, behave, relate, and make decision based on the divine wisdom of the Holy Bible. May I also encourage you to take this opportunity invite and welcome new families to join you!

Prayer requests:

1. Praise and thank God for placing us on earth at this age so that we would have the opportunity to partner with Him and become a world changer. Pray that we would re-organize our priority learning to glorify Him with our life.
2. Pray for our sensitivity to God’s work and grace in our life so that we would be more thankful than making complaint. Pray that we would be able to rejoice always and have peace.
3. Pray for the recruitment of our MCR teachers that we would find dedicated gifted teachers to help expand our MCR ministry in the fall.
4. Pray for the students of our Bible study groups that their life will be transformed by practicing what they learn from the Holy Words of our Lord.
5. Pray for a caring spirit so that we would help make our church home, indeed, a haven for rest and comfort!
