祝您新年快乐
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:
今天（11/02/2007），林福财弟兄及家人在主日崇拜时呈献一首诗歌-活出主的爱。这是其中一个带领家庭服侍的家庭来鼓励弟兄姐妹们来敬拜主和服事主。
Today (11 February, 2007), Bro. Lim Hock Chye and his family presented a song during Sunday Service. This is part of our Family Altar programme to encourage families to worship and serve God together.
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.
