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:
今天2月11日，在星洲日报的《花城》看到一篇报道，题目是73岁小贩义举感人。仔细看下去原来是我们教会的一位弟兄（王金华弟兄）为了一位不幸中风的小贩拔刀相助。乐捐一些物品来捐给他，让他可以拿去卖，换取生活费。看了这篇报导，我想到在现今的社会。有很多需要我们每一个人帮忙的人，但是我们切没有去帮忙他们，很多人有着一个念头就是“社会有有这么多乐心人士帮忙他们，不需要我们区区的小钱的啦！”这是一个不对的想法。我们应该尽我们的能力去帮他们，不管是多少钱，我们都要尽力协助。就像我们的王金华弟兄一样，虽然他不是很有钱。但是，他还是尽力去帮忙，这是我们应该学习的榜样。我们的金华兄已经73岁了，但是都很乐意协助他人。我们年轻的也应该拥有像他的精神，去协助一些需要的人。
(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.
