Christmas Celebration @ ECC Box Hill 博士山宣道堂圣诞节庆祝会

The story goes that some time ago a man punished his 5-year-old daugther for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tide and became more even upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said, This is for you, Daddy. The father was embarrassed by his overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He spoke to her in a harch manner, Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's suppose to be something inside the package? The little looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, Oh Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full. The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger. An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficulty problem he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love f the child who put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

博士山宣道堂和睦者弟兄团契成立了！！

2009年10月10日是博士山宣道堂历史性的一刻。早上9am左右，17位的弟兄陆续的抵达教会一起享受由张志辉牧师和师母所预备的炒米粉及咖哩鸡和郑金土弟兄亲手烘烤的Roti Canai (印度煎饼)。

早餐的同时，弟兄们也一起交流分享、气氛和睦，有如诗篇133 ：1-3 “看哪，弟兄和睦同居，是何等的善，何等的美！这好比那贵重的油浇在亚伦的头上，流到胡须，又流到他的衣襟。又好比黑门的甘露降在锡安山，因为在那里有耶和华所命定的福，就是永远的生命。”是的，神将要赐福给这样的教会，福音也要大大的从这教会被兴旺。

早餐后，我们就聚集在时钟前倒数。当时钟对准10时10分时，蔡雅各长老就揭开由张吉成牧师亲手书写以“和”字及诗篇37：37“你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人，因为和平人有好结局。”为题的手卷，张志辉牧师奉主名宣布博士山和睦者弟兄团契于2009年10月10日，10点10分正式成立。哈利路亚！
Philip弟兄也给大家玩了两个简单的“破冰游戏”。弟兄们按照弟兄团契的五个核心价值 PEACE分成五组,就是：Provider 供应者，Equipper装备者，Achiever进取者, Counsellor 辅导者，Evangelist 布道者。然后每组需在最快的时间把“和睦者MOP”字块砌好。其意义是鼓励弟兄们都能更合一，一起建立主健康的教会，缺一不可。

过后李茂宗弟兄就带领众弟兄们敬拜赞美及张牧师分享上帝如何给他成立弟兄会的异象。奇妙的主透过诗篇37：37“你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人，因为和平人有好结局。”显明了祂的心意。在讨论的时段，弟兄们都提出了一些对弟兄团契的建议和展望。牧师鼓励弟兄们在来临的一个月里去研读提摩太前后书，并将灵修心得分享。大家也赞成弟兄团契在每月的第一个星期六9:30am举行。 现场也委任了一些弟兄为初期的委员，如下：

• 康乐:杨林 Vance


• 代祷: 吴辛成 Daniel


• 灵修:杨金海


• 善食: 梁观胜 Victor
  
  

过后弟兄们也分成2人一组彼此代祷。

感谢主，聚会於11:30am左右顺利结束。
下次聚会将于7/11/2009 9:30am
