敬爱的以便以谢家人
美好的前程和盼望！
对上帝在以便以谢播道会彰显的大能与同在，我赞叹不己! 见证兄弟姐妹在教会经历的起起落落，我们依然一周又一周忠心地出席主日崇拜，为神的家及神的国的扩张，积极服事及奉献，无论是在疫情当下或在疫情前，就如磐石般的坚固保守以便以谢团结在一起。当我们庆祝教会 11 周年时，我们再次立志遵守以便以谢传福音的大使命，忠实地教导上帝的话语，活出神的大诫命就是彼此相爱的精神要继续传承下去。
11年既不短也不长，但我必须说，作为一个教会，我们确实经历了相当多的挑战，例如缺乏领袖同工、年轻人以及财务上的不足。话虽如此，我们很感谢有委身的理事及尽力的同工，一个充满活力的主日学，一个充满爱和健康的环境，成员们互相尊重和相爱，尽管在很多方面，我们是“微不足道的”，靠着上帝的恩典，我们祈求在与上帝的话相违背或持不同观点时，仍然谨守他纯正的话语, 永远不要否认他的名。就像启示录中上帝赞赏非拉铁非教会一样，我们要努力 “你要持守你所有的，不要让人拿走你的冠冕。”（启 3:11）
当我们都活出基督的信仰时，愿上帝无限的爱和恩惠降在以便以谢，让你我都同心合一：活出主爱 持守真道 传扬福音 荣神益人。祝以便以谢11周年蒙恩！
在基督里，

以便以谢播道会
Dear Ebenezerians
Greater days ahead!
I never cease to be amazed by the power of God and His presence in our Church. Through thick and thin, brothers and sisters have been the rock that has kept this church together, faithfully worshipping Him week after week, labouring and giving to the Church for the expansion of His kingdom, covid or not. As we celebrate our Church’s 11th anniversary, we once again resolve to obey the Great Commission of Evangelism, to faithfully teach God’s Word, and to live out God’s Great Commandment that the spirit of loving one another will continue.
11 years is neither a short nor long time, but I must say that we as a Church have gone through a fair bit of challenges such as a shortage of leaders, a lack of young people in our congregation, and financial constraints. Having said that, we are thankful for having a committed Board and a pool of dedicated co-workers, a vibrant Sunday School, a loving and healthy environment where members respect and honour one other, and though in many ways, we are of “little power”, by God’s grace, we pray to keep His unadulterated Word and may God help us never to deny His name, in the midst of polarised views that go against the word of God. Like the Church in Philadelphia in the book of Revelation where she received the praise of God, we shall endeavour to “Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.” (Rev 3:12)
When we all live out the faith of Christ, may God’s infinite love and grace be upon Ebenezer, and may you and I unite as one: live out the love of the Lord, hold on to the truth, spread the gospel, and glorify God and be a blessing to others. Blessed 11th Anniversary!
In Christ,
Rev Sherman Low
