弟兄姐妹好, 

這個禮拜過得好嗎? 若你正在為自己忙碌的時間表煩惱, 我邀請你停下腳步, 細聽以下的詩歌。願這把天籟所唱出的內容成為你今晚的禱告, 願歌曲所帶來的感動激勵你為生活感恩並時刻惦記與關愛身邊有需要的每個靈魂。

這禮拜CCF將延續上一次的查經, 透過研讀馬太福音第九章來看耶穌的各種權柄 (赦罪, 解釋律法, 勝過死亡)。 同時, 我們也會查考馬太第十章, 學習耶穌給門徒們的教導和大使命。歡迎參加! :)

Dear brothers and sisters,

How are you? If you are crazily occupied and exhausted, I invite you to take a break and enjoy this beautiful song:

May the lyrics become your prayer tonight. May this song encourage you to always give thanks and care for those broken souls around you.

For this coming Sat, CCF will study Matthew 9-10. We will learn about Jesus's power as well as the training that he gave to his twelve apostles. Come join us! :)

弟兄姐妹好! 本週團契聚會我們將討論馬太福音8:1-9:34。希望透過聖經故事大家都能學習如何憑信心跟隨神的生活。歡迎參加!

Hi brothers and sisters! we are going to study Mark 8:1-9:34 and learn to follow God and live with faith. Welcome to join us!

Happy New Year everyone! 

This week we are going to watch a testimonial video about Yi Qun, a person who was born with a very rare disease that led him to forgo both of his legs. Please join us to find out how despite his diasbility he fights to live a meaningful life in bringing joy to all around! 

親愛的弟兄姊妹，新年快樂！

這禮拜我們將會欣賞一段關於的魏益群見證影片，讓我們一同來看看益群怎樣努力抵抗病魔去祝福身邊的人！

有關魏益群：

患有"纖維性骨失養症"罕病的魏益群，曾經因為病魔侵蝕雙腿而躺在床上五年多，他毅然決然作出人生中很重要的決定，就是雙腿截肢。 如今，熱愛唱歌的他乘著電動輪椅，到各教會唱出最感動他的詩歌，在群體中榮神益人。

亲爱的弟兄姐妹,

学期结束、新年伊始之际，你有没有对过去一年作些反思、对新的一年作些打算？你所寻求的目标是按照怎样的价值观设立的？我们这周将查考完主耶稣的登山宝训，上帝的价值观颠覆了许多人的观念，欢迎你来一起探讨荣神益己的新年计划！:)

Dear all,

With the New Year approaching, have you been making plans for it and reflecting on the past one? Based on what kind of values are you setting the goals that you seek? We will be finishing the Sermon on the Mount this week. The Lord Jesus is challenging many of our values with that of His. Come join our discussion about the New Year Resolutions that please God and benefit ourselves :)

親愛的弟兄姐妹,

假若你正在為考試或其他煩惱而愁煩, 願神成為你的幫助, 賜你平安! "神所賜出人意外的平安, 必在基督耶穌裡, 保守你們的心懷意念。" (腓利比書 4:7)

本週團契活動為社區服務 (晚上並無聚會)。CCF將與紐約角聲佈道團合作, 於下午12:00-4:30 (包括義工簡介會, 午餐, 場地設置及清理等時間) 協助舉行為自閉症孩童而籌辦的聖誕嘉年華會。感謝神已報名的義工人數已達預期目標。同時，我們繼續歡迎有興趣參與的弟兄姐妹加入關懷行列。如有興趣，請電郵我們 (ccfcolumbia@gmail.com)。謝謝! 

Dear brothers and sisters, 

If you are struggling with the exams or other worries, may God be your strength and provide you with abundant peace! "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ." (Philippian 4:7) 

This week there will be no fellowship meeting at night as we are going to partner up with Chinese Christian Herald Crusades (NY) and help organize a Christmas carnival for children with Autism from 12:00-4:30 pm (including volunteer briefing, lunchtime, and clean-up).

親愛的弟兄姐妹,

這禮拜(12/10) 我們將會觀看一部以聖經故事(路加福音15:11-32)為題材的影片。影片將會帶大家思考我們應該以甚麼樣的角度去理解神。

此外, 下禮拜六(12/17) CCF將與紐約角聲佈道團合作, 於下午12:00-4:00 協助舉行為自閉症孩童而籌辦的聖誕嘉年華會。感謝神已經有不少弟兄姐妹主動報名參加。如果你也有興趣，請電郵我們 (ccfcolumbia@gmail.com) 以便計算義工人數。

各位弟兄姐妹，主内平安。

希望大家這禮拜都有好心情! 這個禮拜的查經題目為「耶穌解釋律法」(馬太福音5:17-48)。耶穌的講解是最正確以及有公信力的，讓我們一起來學習如何在行事為人上合乎神的心意。歡迎新舊朋友!
