【International Ministry/ Gracie wrote】It was a heartwarming Sunday, for this was the first time to hold children dedication during the English Sunday Service. Two Children was dedicated to God, one was Brother Dylan and Sister Elaine's daughter, Bethany Hope Olding, the other was Brother Dean and Sister Yi-Ting's boy, MuFan Fang.
【國際事工部/黃慧思報導】這真是個特別溫馨的英文堂主日,因在這一天舉辦第一次獻兒式。有兩對父母決定將他們的孩子獻給神,第一對是,Dylan 和Elaine夫婦將女兒Bethany Hope Olding獻上,第二對是,Dean和Yi-Ting夫婦將小兒子MuFan Fang獻給上帝。
Sister Elaine shared a testimony before the dedication. Since they were unable to have a baby after many years, she almost lost her faith. Nevertheless, God kept giving Elaine courage through His Word. Last year, God blessed them with a precious little girl.
在獻兒式前,太太Elaine分享神在他們夫妻生命中所行的奇事。已結婚多年的他們,始終無法懷孕生子,在Elaine快要失去盼望時,神繼續用祂的話語安慰他們。在經過多年的禱告等待,終於在去年12月神蹟寶寶Bethany出生了。神的名是應當稱頌的。
The dedication ceremony was led by Pastor Kao. He encouraged all parents to raise their children by God's word. May Bethany and MuFan Fang grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2. 52).
上週日英文堂獻兒儀式是由高敏智牧師主禮,牧師鼓勵父母用神的話語來養育兒女,並用路加福音二52來祝福兩位孩子。願孩子們的智慧和身量,並神和人愛他們的心都能增長。
After the Sunday service, we had fellowship and shared a delicious cake in celebration. Glorify God's name, because He does the great things among us.
在主日結束後,英文堂小組的弟兄姊妹喜樂的用蛋糕來慶祝這特別的日子,因神在這日子中已經行了大事,願神的名被高舉。
