一﹑本週經文Scriptures : 路加福音2:36-38 Luke
36 又有女先知，名叫亞拿，是亞設支派法內力的女兒，年紀已經老邁，從作童女出嫁的時候，同丈夫住了七年就寡居了，37 現在已經八十四歲（或譯：就寡居了八十四年），並不離開聖殿，禁食祈求，晝夜事奉 神。38 正當那時，她進前來稱謝 神，將孩子的事對一切盼望耶路撒冷得救贖的人講說。
36 There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為獅子山禱告：非洲的獅子共和國雖然有豐富的礦產像鑽石但卻是全世界最貧窮的國家之一。全國有一半的人口都生活貧困，而且不論大人或小孩都營養不良。由於沒有錢注射疫苗或接受治療，窮人特別容易感染瘧疾。求神供應當地人民生活所需又藉著福音帶給他們生命盼望。
Pray for Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is rich in mineral resources such as diamonds but is also one of the poorest countries in the world. Around 50 percent of the population lives poverty, and both children and adults face severe malnutrition. The poor are also high risk of suffering from malaria, since most cannot afford preventative healthcare or medical treatment. Pray that God will provide for the physical needs of the people and that the gospel of life will reach them and give them hope.
2. 為疫情禱告：新冠肺炎疫苗即將問世，求主幫助這些在最後驗證階段的疫苗能順利獲得認證。求神保守疫苗的運送、分配與施打都能順利。
Pray for COVID-19. A few COVID-19 vaccines are at their final stage before approval. Pray that these vaccines will pass their tests soon, and pray for the distribution and vaccination processes.
3. 為華人差傳大會禱告：請繼續為全球華人差傳大會的推廣與報名工作禱告。求神幫助所有上線報名的人都能順利註冊成功。
Pray for CMC Global. Pray for the promotion and registration of CMC Global. Pray that everyone would be able to register successfully on line.
4. 為主日學禱告：為明年一到三月的成人與兒童的主日學老師的招募與課程安排禱告。求神恩待祂的教會，藉著主日學使弟兄姊妹的生命得成長改變。
Pray for Sunday School. Pray for the recruitment of adult and children’s Sunday School teachers for next quarter. Pray that the Lord would use these teachers to bring about the transformation of people’s lives.
