24th February is the seventh day of Chinese New Year, also known as the "birthday of all humans" in Chinese. The Methodist Senior Fellowship (MSF) held a dinner for church members at the Methodist Seniors Home. Bro. Gwee Boon Huat led the praise and worship followed by a welcome speech given by the President of MSF, Sis. Tang Yew Ying. Rev. Chu said grace for the food before dinner. Even though there was a heavy down pour on that evening, everyone had a great time.

农历新年初一,一般上人们是忙着拜年,或一家人团聚欢乐时光。但对芙蓉堂众信徒来说,农历新年初一,不论是小孩、少年、青年、成年或年长长辈,大家一早就都聚集明阁鱼翅酒家,参加新年感恩崇拜。参加崇拜者将近一千人,个个带着美丽可爱的笑容,及一颗敬拜赞美神的心,以诗歌、祈祷、奉献和彼此祝贺问候,歌颂主恩,同心献上感恩祭。
新年感恩崇拜准时于上午10时开始,领会张金祥弟兄宣召(诗篇 103:1-5)后,林福强弟兄带领诗歌敬拜。过后,妇女会和成年团先后献唱“主赐福如春雨”和“耶和华是我的牧者”诗歌。王丽星姐妹带领会众诵读证道经文(腓立比书 2:9-11)后,周隆捷牧师开始证道,张伟善弟兄传译粤语。周牧师以“基督为我家之主”为题,并解释“基督为我家之主”意思有四方面,即“我家以基督为主”、“我家需要基督”、“我家活出基督的角色”、以及“我家建造家庭祭坛”。周牧师结论时,点出“基督为我家之主”能为家庭带来以下种种祝福:
- 能培育每个家庭成员属灵生命成长 。
- 是改变社会国家的关键 。
- 是布道宣教的据点。
- 是上帝托付给每一个基督徒夫妇无可推诿的重大使命。
- 才能面对撒旦、世界、肉体的属灵争战。
- 能帮助儿女建立关系与好的习惯。
- 得以彰显上帝的荣耀 。
周牧师并带领全会众同心同声立下心志:“不作教徒,立志作基督徒!”
周牧师证道后,李国宝弟兄伉俪合家献诗《爱我们的家》,周牧师也为他们的家庭作祝福祷告。之后,全会众以“新岁初临”诗歌回应。江三才弟兄带领谢捐祷告,十二位弟兄姐妹负责接收会众的感恩奉献,同心唱三一颂,数十位弟兄姐妹上台唱贺年歌拜年。周牧师祝福。全会众在离场前,都得到芙蓉堂赠送两粒新年柑作为祝福。
At 10 o'clock Bro Teo Kim Siang started the service by reading Psalm 103, and Bro Lim Hock Keong led the praise and worship. The praise and worship continued with a dance from a group of ladies from the Woman Fellowship, followed by a song titled "Jehovah Is My Shepherd" sung by Adult Fellowship members.
The sermon Rev Chu shared with us this morning was called "Christ Is The Lord Of My House" referred to the scripture taken from Philippians 2:9-11.
Rev Chu elaborated,
- When a Christian family declared that "Christ Is The Lord Of My House", this family have submitted everything to God, believing that He is the "Source of Blessing".
- When a Christian family declared that "Christ Is The Lord Of My House", this family have stated that they thank the Lord as the Saviour of their lives, and the grace given to them.
- When a Christian family declared that "Christ Is The Lord Of My House", this family have shown the different roles of Christ:
- When a Christian family declared that "Christ Is The Lord Of My House", this family have to build a "Family Altar". Family altar is the foundation of the concept "Christ Is The Lord Of My House". It is the spiritual fortress of a family.
After that we sang some New Year songs together. Everyone was given 2 mandarin oranges before leaving.

一年一度的新年还有三天就来到了,这几天都是人们购买年货的热潮。但是,在人们开开心心的购买年货的当儿,有一则对消费者不公平的事情发生。今天(2月15日)在中国报《今日森美兰》里,看到一则这样的新闻。我们教会的执事会主席张金祥弟兄透过中国报向贸消部作出投诉,希望贸消部对付那些霸级市场限制消费者购买货品的权力。金祥弟兄也说到在现今自由交易的社会,我们有自由购买自己所需要的物品。我们是不应该被限制的,所以希望贸消部应该重视这些事情。
在现今社会,身为基督徒,若发现不公义或不公平的事情,不是将事情闷闷的吞下肚子忘记就好了,这样会导致接下来会有更多人受害。我们应该学习张金祥弟兄一样,有话直说。有一位神学家说,教会是社会的良知,基督徒是有责任把不对的事情说出或勇敢向有关当局做出回应或投诉或采取必要的行动。
(15 February 2007, Thursday) Chinese New Year is just around the corner, the demand of goods for the celebration is increasing. However, through China Press' Negeri Today, we see a hypermarket has treated its customer unjustly. Our Local Church Executive Committee (LCEC) Chairman Bro. Teo Kim Siang has urge government agencies to protect the rights of consumers. He has pointed out, in a free trading society, everyone has the right to transact. As Christians, we should speak up when we see injustice, just like Bro. Kim Siang.以下是采纳报章文章 Following is the article from the newspaper:

(11th February 07,Sunday) There was an article on Sin Chew Daily Negeri Sembilan Edition about a 73-year-old vendor who donated some merchandise in order to help an underprivileged family. That vendor is one of our church members, Brother Ong Kim Hwa. In our society today, many are in need, but there are not many who would offer a hand. “Somebody else will help them, I'm nobody, my small donation is no help at all.” Such pessimistic idea is so uncool!! One should do whatever is in one's power for those who are in need, just like Brother Ong.

今天(2月4日)周牧师的讲题是家庭祭坛,家庭祭坛的意思是一家人定期或不定期聚集一起做礼拜,周牧师也说到无论在那里,什么时间都可以,最重要的是让全家人有最好的时间,以及全家人最可能都在一起的时刻。家庭祭坛可以每一天,也可以每周一次或每月一次。如果无法定期,至少不定期举行,但是千万不要根本没有家庭祭坛。周牧师也讲到进行家庭祭坛的方式很简单,家人聚集一起唱诗、读经、祷告、分享,这样就可以成为一个简单的家庭祭坛了,过后,家人也可以玩一个小小的游戏,过后一起在家或出外一起吃夜宵。这样是为了促进家人的感情和关系。在证道结束之前,周牧师一家人开始了今年的第一个家庭服侍。周牧师和家人选了《主是我力量》这首诗歌为他们所要献的诗歌。最后,周牧师也说到希望接着下去每一个主日都有一个家庭来做家庭服侍。一个家庭至少有两位成员就能做家庭服侍了,只需唱一首诗歌就可以了。下星期带领家庭服侍的家庭是林福财执事的家庭。
(4th Feb 2007) Today, during Sunday Worship, Rev Chu had shared with us about family altar. Family altar is a time when all the members of a family worship God together. Where or when is not an important issue, the point is spending quality time together. It can be held once a week or even once a month, in a very simple way - it can be started by playing a game, singing songs of praise, reading the Bible, sharing and praying together, then it can end with the family having supper together. The objective of building a family altar is to bind a family together through Christ. Before the end of the sermon, Rev Chu and his family presented a song, titled "God is My Strength". He said this is only the beginning, and next week, Bro. Lim Hock Chye's family will also sing praises to the Lord during the Noon Sunday Service and there will be a family serving God in this area every week thereon.
