以下是和這禮拜天相關的報告事項:

1. 上禮拜天的講道「活在上帝的權柄之下」已經放在網站上,大家可以上網聽。

2. Ulrich 教授的成人主日學這禮拜天開始上課,內容是討論以西結書。主日學時間是中午12:15-1:15,地點在希望教會。上課方式以討論為主,互動語言主要是英文。如果有人希望用中文討論或問 Ulrich 教授問題,Melody 可以幫忙翻譯。

3. 這禮拜天我們要領聖餐。

4. 請大家花一些時間讀以下的經文,為主日預備心。這些經文跟禮拜天要講道的經文(羅馬書十三章7-10節)有關。主日講道的題目是「愛就完全行出了上帝的律法」。

經文:十誡(出埃及記二十章1-21節);耶穌所說浪子回頭的比喻(路加福音十五章11-32節);耶穌所說好撒瑪利亞人的比喻(路加福音十章25-37節)。

願上帝祝福大家,也願各位在信心生活上繼續成長,更加認識與服從上帝。

在基督裡,

Dear New Hope family,

We have a few announcements for Sunday:

1. Last week's sermon, "Living under God's Authority" can be heard online.

2. Dr. Ulrich will begin the adult Bible study and discussion on Ezekiel this Sunday at New Hope from 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. The class is a discussion format, mainly using English. Melody can help facilitate communication for those who are better at speaking Mandarin, but would like to make comments or ask Dr. Ulrich any questions.

3. We will celebrate the Lord's Supper this Sunday.

4. To prepare for Sunday's worship service, please take some time to read the following Bible passages. They are all related to the sermon from Romans 13:7-10 about "Love: Fulfilling God's Law"

Please read the Ten Commandments:
Exodus 20:1-21

Please also read:

Jesus' parable of the prodigal son
Luke 15:11-32

Jesus' parable of the good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37

God bless you this week as you grow in your life of faith and of knowing and obeying God.

In Christ,

Pastor Joel
