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). If you are interested in helping, pls email us (ccfcolumbia@gmail.com). Thanks!

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。

謝謝! 正在準備考試的朋友們, 加油喔!

Dear brothers and sisters, 

This week (12/10) we are going to watch a video which uses the Bible story (Luke 15:11-32) to challenge the common ways of understanding God. Please come and join us!

For next week (12/17), we will partner up with Chinese Christian Herald Crusades (NY) and help organize a Christmas carnival for children with Autism from 12-4 pm. We are thankful for those who have already responded and committed to volunteer. If you are interested in helping, pls email us (ccfcolumbia@gmail.com).

Thanks and good luck to those who are fighting with their finals!

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!

此外, 兩週後的團契活動為社區服務。CCF將與紐約角聲佈道團合作, 於12/17 下午12:00-4:00 服務唐人街社區的自閉症孩童 (當晚並無聚會，更多資料將於稍後公佈)。「施比受更為有福」，有興趣的弟兄姐妹，請電郵我們 (ccfcolumbia@gmail.com) 以便計算義工人數。謝謝!

Dear brothers and sisters, shalom!

We hope you have been enjoying your week. This week we are going to have our Bible Study (Mark 5:17-48) on rules that were enunciated by Jesus. Let's come together and learn about how to act out a life that pleases and glorify our Father in heaven! 

In addition, we are going to have community service as our program 2 weeks later. CCF will partner up with Chinese Christian Herald Crusades (NY) on 12/17 from 12-4 pm to serve the children with Autism in Chinatown. Stay tuned for more information. If you are interested in volunteering, pls email us (ccfcolumbia@gmail.com) for head-count. Thanks!
