查經:作門徒 Bible Study: Being a Disciple

各 位弟兄姊妹平安：

可以想象現在都很忙，與學業帶來的壓力做頑強的抵抗。有人跟我分享過說，如果不是因爲學業也不會那麼依靠神了。希望大家在忙碌於 壓力之下，能夠去正確的依靠神。除此之外，也請不要忘記我們作爲門徒的本分。這週五的團契活動中，我們將分小組查經分享，透 過帖撒羅尼迦前書第二章裏面保羅爲我們樹立的例子，來學習要如何作和神心意的門徒。

另外也想提醒大家，下週五就是我們一學期一度的敬拜之夜了。我們在這個時候都希望給每個弟兄姐妹一個機會來分享一些感動過他們 的詩歌，不過鑑於時間關係每個人最多分享兩首（因爲我們希望能夠給儘量多的人機會，敬請諒解啦。現在請有感動的兄弟姐 妹把你們想要分享的歌，那些神曾經通過它們觸摸到你心靈最深處的歌，於下週一，3月22日之前回 復給我們（包括歌詞，如果能找到歌譜請一起附上）[email protected]，中英文不 限。

我們鼓勵大家來帶領自己提供的詩歌，當然啦，如果你覺得在大家面前帶詩歌不太自在的話，我們也可以安排其他弟兄姐妹來替你領詩。只是 無論怎樣，都希望你能夠親自與大家分享這首詩曾經觸動你的地方，以及神是如何通過這些詩歌去指引你對。

我們衷心的期待大家的 參與，謝謝!

Dear brothers and sisters,

I can imagine that everyone is really busy recently, fighting relentlessly against the pressure that school work has been putting upon our shoulders. Someone once shared and said, if it had not been for studying, he/she would not have relied on God as much. Hope that we can all learn to correctly rely on God in stressful times such as these. Aside from that, we should not forget our responsibilities as a disciple and follower of Christ. This Friday we will have a Bible study session and read 1 Thessalonians Chapter 2 to see how the apostle Paul sets an example for us and find out how to become a disciple that follows after God’s heart.

On another note, we are having our annual Worship Night on next Friday, March 26th. As we are going to give everyone a chance to lead songs that touched them, we are giving everyone this opportunity to request for up to TWO songs. (Sorry for limiting to only 2 because we’ve always gone immensely over time in the past Worship Nights.) Please send in the song(s) that the LORD has used to touch you with its/their lyrics (please also provide the sheet music of the song(s) if you have or can find it) before next Monday which is March 22nd to [email protected]. Both Chinese and English songs are good. You are encouraged to lead your song(s), however, if you are not comfortable leading, we can have someone else lead for you. We are going to give you an opportunity to share about how God has touched you with the song(s) regardless of whether you decide to lead the song(s). We encourage everyone to participate and send in their songs to me as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!
