由於部份詩班成員已事奉多年,需要停下來休息一段時間,好讓他們能重新得力; 因此今年我們所要學習的功課就是–休息、安靜及等候神的帶領。
即使過去幾個月詩班的練習停頓了,但國語堂李傳道先後邀請了我們參與不同的聯合詩班練習和獻詩。感謝他們給予我們服事的機會!
我們的神有祂的時間表,在七月期間, 詩班已恢復練習。練詩時間改為每月兩次, 於主日下午進行; 並在粵ー崇及粵二崇的第三個主日獻詩。能參與詩班事奉是莫大的恩典,我們期望有新人(特别是年青人)加入這個團隊,讓我們一起同心讚美稱頌神。

教會方向
今年,我們以「在變遷中扎根基督」為主題,期望為教會提供方向。這主題以聖經為基礎,並在全球不穩定的環境及本地事工轉變中孕育出來,帶動我們的事工、計劃和領導團的討論。此主題成為牧者及長老團隊會議中持續商討的焦點,幫助我們以信心和從神來的引導迎接轉變。
為促進教會在這變遷的期間,保持合一且同心地仰望神,牧者團隊於2025年2月推出每月禱告月曆。每月主題緊扣教會重點,並培育對本地及普世宣教的關注。此禱告月曆成為全教會屬靈成長與共融敬拜的重要工具。
四月舉行的全教會生活營,聚集了各堂會不同年齡層的弟兄姊妹。這段特別的「北宣家」時間增進彼此的情誼和合一,裝備我們在變遷中同心站立得穩。
宣教工作繼續是我們的方向。在八月舉行的差傳年會中,我們再次定睛於差遣工人的主。展望未來,我們盼望重新推動短期宣教或訪宣體驗團,讓更多肢體參與神的普世使命。
領導及同工團隊
長老團繼續在屬靈層面、牧養分工與配搭及堂會成長上發揮重要角色。長老團轄下的「智庫小組」(Think Tank)及「教會發展委員會」(Church Development Committee)定期商討教會增長、設施需要、聚會時間安排及長遠場地規劃。六月,由前澳洲宣道會會長Rod Russell-Brown牧師主領的長老及領袖培訓日,為現任和未來領袖提供寶貴裝備。今年稍後將舉行長老及牧者團禱告退修日,尋求神進一步的帶領。
執事團在教會日常運作中提供寶貴的幫助,當中包括協助籌辦2024年聯合聖誕早茶、新同工入職及教堂場地管理及保養,以及更新對各基督教機構和事工的資助。執事團亦協助完成總會的年度合規報告,並處理銀行相關事宜,及資訊系統 (包括Elvanto系統) 的實施等行政工作。
2025年提名委員會已於七月完成長老及執事候選人名單,為九月會友大會作準備。我們感恩見到多位新執事候選人,當中有不少女性來自不同堂會。長老團正積極準備2026年提名委員會的工作。
在牧者團隊方面,關文卓牧師於2024年底退休後,2025年六月我們喜見梁偉剛傳道的加入,這是經過繁複及嚴謹的聘牧過程所得的成果。梁傳道六月底的授職典禮,是神垂聽禱告的印證。
2024年九月帖斯安 (Andrew Tibbs) 牧師離任後,英語事工牧者一職空缺,由賴頌恆傳道兼任署理英語牧者,同時負責青少年事工。2025年三月特別會友大會上,教會正式確認賴傳道為英語事工牧者。長老團隨即成立青少年牧者聘牧小組。該小組多次開會,釐清事工範圍及尋找合適人選,我們繼續仰望主為我們預備合適的牧者到來牧養青少年。
牧者團隊亦與其他領導團隊,籌辦包括2024年聖誕崇拜、受難節及復活節聚會。感恩的是眾多弟兄姊妹樂意參與其中,帶來深刻的屬靈經歷。牧者們亦安排三至四月的預苦期全教會各堂的講道系列,以及七月的聯合教會祈禱會。
自去年底起,所有宣道會牧者均須接受定期且個別的牧養督導,亦透過定期的宣道會牧者日,接受事奉上裝備,並與其他牧者進行交流,分享事奉的喜與憂。本會李傳道及賴傳道自2024年九月起,積極為按牧作準備;主若許,我們盼望他們於2026年獲按立為牧師。另外,我們也感恩,神帶領兩位實習傳道到我們中間,一起學習及事奉。
教會行政團隊在確保各項事工順利進行上貢獻良多。辦公室支援洗禮、信徒入會聚會等的安排、禱告月曆的推動及整年多項堂會的活動,感謝神賜予他們忠心服侍。
其他事工
我們很感恩的是眾弟兄姊妹,藉著成長小組、團契、查經班、門徒訓練、外展探訪、禱告會以及各類型教會的活動,熱心事奉神及彼此關顧,使得我們的英語、國語及粵語堂會持續成長。
為了促進屬靈成長,及展現我們對研讀及實踐神話語的重視,自2024年八月起,我們教會開放予研讀聖經團契 (BSF),使一個國語婦女研經組在我們當中開展,該事工已完成了一年的學習,並將於新一年繼續。今年八月,我們亦歡迎一個新的粵語男士BSF小組,開始在教會聚會。
社區關懷亦是我們重要的事工範疇。今年九月,全教會參與Murray Farm公立學校的年度嘉年華,藉此活動讓我們走進社區,與本地家庭與鄰舍建立關係及分享福音。2024年底,Epping West公立學校提供場地予教會使用,雖然此安排提前終止,我們仍堅信神必開啟新的路讓教會有空間成長。
2024年11月及2025年5月,我們在洗禮及信徒入會禮中,接納超過三十位弟兄姊妹加入教會這個大家庭,成責任會友。特別值得高興的是,尤其在英語堂會,近期有許多年輕弟兄姊妹預備及已成婚。粵語堂的一些年輕家庭亦喜迎新的成員出生,而且最近仍然有剛從海外移居而來育有新生兒的家庭加入。這些都是教會生活中的祝福。
讓我們堅守信仰,同心合意服侍,滿有盼望地回應神的恩召。請以感恩的心繼續閱讀及了解教會其他事工的發展情況,來體會神信實的帶領。
