BIWEEKLY MINISTRY UPDATE
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 1:3)
It has been two months since our church moved to our new Location, Emanuel Reformed Church. We thank you Lord for His guidance and the growth of the Youth group during this challenging season. We now meet regularly twice a week- on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons- to growth together in Faith and Fellowship.
Every Friday evening, we have fun games followed by a time of devotion and sharing. Last month, we began “Alpha Youth Series.” Through this program, our goal is to clearly present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our Youth, helping them to receive Him personally and grow in His Salvation and truth.
The youth are having fun playing games
They are also attending the Alpha Youth Course
On Sunday, we gather to worship God and study God’s words through different topics from both New and Old testaments. Currently, we are reading through the Gospel of Matthew and every Sunday we have a Bible quiz to reinforce what we’ve learned.
Last Sunday (November 9), we learn the importance of memory in Psalms 135 and 137. By remembering God’s mighty acts, Psalms 135 and 1371 reaffirm God’s identity, underscore Israel’s
uniqueness, and sustain the hope of Israelites in times of trouble.
In the same way, by reflecting on God’s goodness in our lives we are reminded that our identity is secured in God’s grace, and though His steadfast love we find hope even in the darkest moments.
We are worshiping together at Emmanuel Reformed Church.
One last update, from now until December 7th, we will practice for our Christmas Carol performance it on December 14th. Let’s prepare our hearts and voice to celebrate the birth of our Saviour with joy and gratitude.
May the Peace and Grace of God be upon you all.
Blessngs,
Phuong Huynh
双周事工更新
「在基督里蒙福」
愿颂赞归于我们主耶稣基督的父神！祂在基督里赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气。（以弗所书 1:3）
自从我们教会搬到新的聚会地点——以马内利改革宗教会——已经两个月了。感谢主在这段充满挑战的时期中引导我们，并使青少年团契在信心与人数上都得到成长。我们现在每周固定聚会两次：星期五晚上和星期日下午，一同在信仰与团契中成长。
每逢星期五晚上，我们会先进行有趣的游戏时间，然后进入敬拜、灵修与分享。上个月，我们开始了 「Alpha 青少年系列课程」。通过这个课程，我们的目标是向青少年清楚传讲耶稣基督的福音，帮助他们个人认识并接受祂，在祂的救恩与真理中不断成长。
主日时，我们一同敬拜神，并通过旧约与新约的不同主题来研读圣经。目前，我们正在阅读《马太福音》，每个主日还会进行圣经知识问答，以巩固所学内容。
上个主日（11月9日），我们学习了诗篇第135篇与第137篇，认识到「记念」的重要性。
透过回顾神的伟大作为，诗篇135篇和137篇重申了神的身份，强调以色列民的独特性，并在困境中维系他们的盼望。
同样地，当我们思想神在自己生命中的恩典时，也被提醒：我们的身份因神的恩典而稳固；在祂永不改变的慈爱中，即使在最黑暗的时刻，我们仍能找到盼望。
最后一个更新：从现在起直到12月7日，我们将开始为12月14日的圣诞颂歌表演进行练习。让我们预备好自己的心与声音，以喜乐与感恩庆祝救主的降生！
愿神的平安与恩典常与你们众人同在。
祝福，
Phuong Huynh
