雅各團於2025年正式創立，今年年題是「憑愛·朋愛」，寓意希望憑着基督的愛，展現朋輩的愛。
雅各團主要服侍廣東話背景的大學生，並致力於大學傳福音事工。很感謝神從成立團契前到現在一路的帶領，不但有人數上的增長，也在時間的歷程中看見弟兄姊妹靈命的成長。
雅各團在每月第一，二和四個星期五有聚會，聚會採用POBS形式（Program, Outing, Bible Study)，務求團友能以更多角度經歷福音，思考信仰。
大學生正值探索、嘗試不同生活模式的階段，生活中充滿各樣上帝的恩典，同時亦存在不同的試探和挑戰。懇求天父保守帶領雅各團每一位的生命，不論順境逆境、高山低谷，也能堅守對天父的目光，時刻被天父更新，繼續在生命中經歷神，以生命影響生命。
將一切榮耀歸於上帝。

To Mould & Be Moulded – Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. (Isaiah 64:8)
The past year has been a journey of learning to trust and obey, and of embracing the challenges placed before us. Praise the Lord — through His faithfulness and abundant provision, we have experienced another blessed year in Children Sunday School.
In 2025, the Core Team comprises Rev. Hiram Lau, Carmen Lee, Emily Dou, Lemon Choi, and Miriam Kwong, who oversee the day-to-day operations. Our teaching team includes over 80 members across various congregations, with approximately 15% being youth members.
We successfully transitioned to the new teaching materials published by KIDSWISE, which place a stronger emphasis on gospel-centered Bible teaching. To further strengthen the partnership between Children Sunday School and families, and to encourage Bible reading and discussion at home, we introduced weekly Bible verses and “Food for Thought” reflections based on each week’s passage.
Starting from Term 2, 2025, we re-launched the Bible Reading Challenge program for Year 4–6 children. In Term 3, 2025, we began a Bible Memory Verse Challenge campaign to all children. These initiatives are designed to help cultivate a daily Bible reading habit and nurture a love for God’s Word.
Special Programs and Events
Here are some highlights of the special programs and events from the past year:
Mission
In September 2024, Alice D. and university students from Power to Change visited to share how to evangelize to friends at school. The children were given practical tips. Afterward, they coloured in a card for the friends at school and wrote letters to Chichipo, our sponsored child residing in Thailand, to share the love of God.
In December 2024, our children had another opportunity to put their “Mission” into action by colouring Christmas cards that were then delivered to patients at St Vincent’s Hospital to share the love and peace brought by Jesus in the festive season.
In June 2025, the children participated in a flag-selling fundraiser to support Chichipo and to contribute to the church’s general fund — another valuable opportunity to learn about serving the community.
Little Olympics (October 2024)
Our children participated in the fun and engaging activities at Roselea Public School. The purpose of the annual event was to promote bonding among the children and to encourage them to become supportive brothers and sisters to each other in Christ.
Year 6 Graduation (November 2024)
Graduating from Year 6 is always a remarkable milestone—not only for our children, who are moving into a new stage of life, but also for their parents, who have nurtured them in God’s way. The graduation ceremony was a time for us to celebrate and give thanks for God’s guidance throughout the primary school years, as well as to seek His continued guidance, protection, and care for both our children and their parents as they enter the youth stage. Our graduates and their families were blessed through the prayers of our church community.
Easter Outdoor Program (March 2025)
This year, we held an outdoor Easter program at Roselea Public School. The message of salvation was shared through various activities, culminating in a reflective object lesson on “Washing away the sin”. The children learned that Jesus washed away our sins with His blood, and that in order to place Him at the center of our lives, we must first ask for His forgiveness.
Children Sunday School Sunday Service (June 2025)
The theme of our special Sunday Service was “Knowing the Attributes of God through the Books of the Bible”. Children served as ushers, scripture readers, and members of the worship team. A wall display opposite the church boardroom showcases the books of the Bible alongside God’s attributes.
We also launched the ‘Guess Which’ activity, encouraging children to identify Bible stories and God’s attributes from the wall display. Parents’ assistance is welcomed to support this activity, which serves as another way to promote Bible engagement at home.
Additionally, we opened a Kids’ Library, where children can bring in a Christian-based book from home and swap it with one from our collection in the baby room.
Training and Support
To support our teachers, Dr. Kean Poon led a workshop in October 2024 on supporting children with additional needs. It was a fruitful session that offered many practical strategies and valuable mindset shifts for effective classroom management.
Throughout the year, end-of-term debriefing sessions are also held to support and encourage our teaching team.
Additionally, two of our sisters served as trainers alongside their teaching roles this year. This helps equip more teaching assistants to step up as teachers in the future, making the teaching team more sustainable.
We also relocated and refurbished our notice board, which now serves as an additional communication hub for the church community.
Looking Ahead
Over the past few years, we have fully utilized all available rooms on our church premises to nurture our children in God’s Word. At the beginning of 2025, there were 110 children registered, with an average weekly attendance of 78. Furthermore, the number of young families in the English Congregation has begun to grow. We have explored options to expand, including launching an additional Children Sunday School or renting a new location. At this stage, the former option is more feasible and hence, we are currently forming a Core Team to establish a Kids’ Church that will run concurrently with MES.
We humbly ask you to support us in prayer:
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
Rev. Hiram Lau 劉海林牧師
感謝主在過去一年對粵語堂滿有恩典的帶領！我們一同見證了神奇妙的作為，不但人數持續增加，更看見弟兄姊妹在生命中經歷神愛的更新，在成長中愈發像基督。這使我想起經上的一句金句：「我們原是他的工作，在基督耶穌裡造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所預備叫我們行的。」（以弗所書 2:10）一切都是出於神的工作，願一切榮耀頌讚都歸於祂！
同時，我們滿心感恩，因著神的帶領，梁傳道加入牧者同工的行列，牧養及帶領一眾肢體成長，一同建立神的家。在此也衷心感謝各位弟兄姊妹在各個崗位上忠心事奉——無論是敬拜、招待、主日學，還是關懷探訪，每一份服侍都彰顯了神所賜下的恩典和恩賜。
特別值得一提的是八月份的「懷舊金曲夜」外展事工，成為全年其中一個最亮眼的事奉。當晚氣氛熱烈，透過粵語懷舊金曲和詩歌，我們與社區朋友建立了美好的連結，也讓弟兄姊妹的各樣恩賜得以盡情發揮。
在四月份的教會生活營中，我們與其他堂會的肢體學習合一的美好見證。經歷了「在基督裡合一」的美好見證。我們透過不同文化背景的交流，實踐了「在基督裡合而為一」的真理。不但更深認識彼此，更一同體驗以手工及詩歌讚頌「和撒那歸於至高神」的敬拜。
雖然隨著人數增加，我們正面對地方不足及需要更多事奉人手的挑戰，但我們深信，神必為祂的工作開路。願神賜下合一的異象，興起弟兄姊妹各樣恩賜，讓我們在神愛中漸漸增長。
最後，再次感謝主在過去一年的恩典和每一位肢體的委身付出。神既然在基督裡造成了我們，祂必定已經為我們預備了合適的善工去服侍社區，傳揚福音。踏進新的一年，讓我們以信心回應神事奉的呼召，彼此勉勵，一同在神的家中忠心耕耘。願神藉著我們在社區中彰顯祂的榮耀，成為更多人的光和鹽！
讓我們懷著確信，手牽手，心連心，一同迎接神為粵語堂所預備的美好未來！
