一、本週經文Scriptures:羅馬書8:14-16 Romans
14 因為凡被神的靈引導的,都是神的兒子。15 你們所受的,不是奴僕的心,仍舊害怕;所受的,乃是兒子的心,因此我們呼叫:阿爸!父!16 聖靈與我們的心同證我們是神的兒女。
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為美國的社會及治安問題禱告:美國在後疫情時代,失業、隔離的孤獨、對經濟環境的焦慮,都使人們更加沮喪和憤怒;謀殺、槍枝、暴力、搶劫、竊盜等犯罪率持續攀升;許多人對於全美普遍的社會治安敗壞,感到驚慌、害怕。求神來翻轉美國人民的心,能離棄罪惡、明白真理,回轉歸向神。
Pray for Social and Security problems of the United States. In the post-epidemic era, unemployment, loneliness of isolation, and anxiety about the economic environment have made people more depressed and angry; the crime rate of murder, guns, violence, robbery, theft, etc. continues to rise; many people feel panic and fear about the widespread social security deterioration in the United States. Pray God to turn people’s hearts to be able to abandon sin, understand the truth, and turn back to God.

2.為教會中的長輩們禱告:我們教會有許多年長的弟兄姐妹,求神供應他們的兄姐各樣的需要,有些在病痛當中、或是長年臥病需要幫助,有些兒女不在身旁感到孤單,有些失去平安喜樂;求神看顧記念年長者的生命,使他們能持續禱告親近神,在孤單病痛中仍然不失去信心。
Pray for our older brothers and sisters. We have many older brothers and sisters in our church. May God provide for the needs of our older brothers and sisters, some of them are sick, some of them are bedridden and need help, some of them are live alone, and some of them have lost their peace and joy. Pray that God keeps them and they will not lose faith in the midst of loneliness and sickness.

3.為新的長老執事團隊禱告:在10月份我們已經選出新一年度的長老及執事的團隊。求主賜下智慧、恩典、能力,使長執團隊能在不同的恩賜中學習互相幫助、彼此配搭,在事奉中成長,知道每一位長執都有合一的心,並且知道每一位同工都是被主呼召來服事教會的。
