6/29

每年有许多教会建筑物因老化或所属社区进行活化而需重建。由于当地经济复苏,为教会兴建新建筑筹款并不难,教会也拥有建筑物的业权。然而,教会一 旦有了新堂,会众往往转移焦点,较难全心事奉,也较易在商议过程中,如教会重建或迁址等产生分歧。让我们为所有需要乔迁新居的教会祷告,求主保守会众有合 一的心志,不因拥有新建筑物而矜夸,并善用新设备,借各项事工继续为主发光。

Every year, many existing church buildings need to be rebuilt because they are too old or the neighborhoods they belong to are being revitalized. As the local economy improves, congregations are able to give generously. Donations for a new building is usually not a problem. A great majority of these churches are registered churches who own their properties outright. Yet, it is often noted that after the new church is built, members lose focus and become less committed in serving the Lord. Division also happens whenever there is a major project , like a church relocation or rebuilding. Let us pray for all the churches who have moved into newer buildings. Pray for their ministries, unity of spirit and not being prideful to other churches.
