2025 ALife Welcome Party! 迎新! ALife 2024 Welcome Package 2024 ALife Welcome Party!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
During this Holy Week, let us continue to meditate once more why Jesus came. Back in 2008 Welcome Party, the skit team performed the song Why. Here it is again, for us to listen, to reflect and to remember. (Thank you, Jean!)

11. Street Sense (街頭意識)!
從這個月開始,我們每個月將在電子報中介紹一個組織/協會。你可以為他們禱告或奉獻。這個由活動宣教組提議的發想,是為了鼓勵我們大家積極地幫助任何耶穌不會遲疑伸出祂援手的事工。

第一個揭開序幕的組織是Street Sense(街頭意識)。這份雙週發行的報紙是為了「透過一份可以為貧窮及不公義發聲,並鼓勵大家來思辯這些議題的報紙,來提供經濟機會予那些在我們社區中無家可歸的人們。」

Street Sense的報販以35 cents發行費的價錢來收購一份報紙,並以$1的價格賣出。這份報紙內容包含了關於無家可歸、貧窮及其他社會議題的新聞、專題、社論、詩及藝術。報紙大約一半的內容是由之前曾經是無家可歸者或現為無家可歸者撰寫。

你可以在地鐵站附近或一些公共場所找到這些報販。他們身著黃色的背心,上面有「Street Sense」字樣。每份賣出的報紙,就是65 cents的收入,這可能是鼓勵他們邁向改善他們生活較佳的方式。你的$1對他們來說意義非凡。

Street Sense 捐款頁面: http://www.streetsense.org/give-support/donate/

代禱事項
1.    朝正兄在長期與癌症奮鬥後,於今早9點10分蒙主恩召,這突然的消息,令我們都很難過,求主的愛與安慰充滿菁滿姐、Susan、Sheng-Shin和親屬。追思禮拜將於這星期日(4月24日),在我們教會(CTPC)舉行,原則上從下午2點開始瞻仰遺容,2點半追思禮拜。若有人從朝正兄身上看到能為神作見證的事情,請寫下來(英文或中文都可)於星期五之前e-mail給 Victoria (vickylu@gmail.com)

2.    感謝主Mike, Ariel, Grace和 Katie將要受洗!讓我們一起為他們預備受洗的心來禱告。

家庭作業
禱告。

11. Street Sense!
Starting from this month, we will be introducing an organization/association per month in our newsletter. You could donate or pray for them. This initiative introduced by Activity/Outreach group is to encourage us all to participate actively in helping any kind of ministries in which Jesus would not hesitate to lend His hands.

The first organization to kick off the series is Street Sense, a bi-weekly newspaper that seeks to “offer economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness in our community through a newspaper that elevates voices and encourages debate on poverty and injustice”.

Street Sense vendors pay 35 cents for each paper to cover publishing costs and then sell each paper for $1. The newspaper features news, features, editorials, poems and art about homelessness and poverty and other social issues. About 50% of the paper is written by homeless and formerly homeless individuals.

These vendors could be found in Metro stations area or some public places. They wear yellow vests with the writing “Street Sense”. For each newspaper they sell, they can earn 65 cents. This may be a better way to encourage them to take their first steps towards improved lives. Your $1 could go a long way for them.

Street Sense donation page: http://www.streetsense.org/give-support/donate/

Prayer Requests
1.    After a long battle against cancer, Brother Chaujun passed away this morning at 9:10am. This sudden news left us with great grief. May the Lord’s love flow through the hearts of Sister Jingmann, Susan, Sheng-Shin and other family members. The funeral will take place this Sunday on 4/24 at church. Viewing is at 2:00pm, and the service will start at 2:30pm. If there are any testimonies you have seen from Brother Chaujun, please write them down (English or Chinese are fine) and send them to Victoria (vickylu@gmail.com) by Friday night.

2.    Praise God that Mike, Ariel, Grace and Katie are getting baptized! Let us pray for their hearts to prepare for baptism.

Homework
Pray.
