家庭祭坛 Family Altar

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.
