教会自2月9日开始,因着疫情的缘故,开始线上崇拜,至今也已经6个月。从6月28日起,因着疫情的好转,我们也陆续让最多50人回来教会参与实体崇拜。由于这样的情况可能还会持续一阵子,因此牧者在经过讨论后,决定鼓励每一个牧区,每月能有一次回来教会崇拜。因此盼望不同牧区的组长能够安排并鼓励你的组员,每一个月有一次,以小组的方式回来教会,参与实体崇拜与小组。
It has been 6 months since church started on-line worship on 9 Feb 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 28 June, as the pandemic situation has improved, we have allowed a maximum of 50 people to return to church for Sunday service. Because the situation may persist for a while, our pastors have discussed and decided to encourage every pastoral zone to take turn to return to church for worship once a month. Thus, we hope that the leaders of the pastoral zones will arrange and encourage their group members to return to church once a month for Sunday service and small groups.
