一、本週經文 Scriptures: 彼得前書 3：1-6 1 Peter
1你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫；這樣，若有不信從道理的丈夫，他們雖然不聽道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來；2這正是因看見你們有貞潔的品行和敬畏的心。3你們不要以外面的辮頭髮，戴金飾，穿美衣為妝飾，4只要以裡面存著長久溫柔，安靜的心為妝飾；這在神面前是極寶貴的。5因為古時仰賴神的聖潔婦人正是以此為妝飾，順服自己的丈夫，6就如撒拉聽從亞伯拉罕，稱他為主。你們若行善，不因恐嚇而害怕，便是撒拉的女兒了。7你們作丈夫的，也要按情理（原文是知識）和妻子同住；因他比你軟弱（比你軟弱：原文作是軟弱的器皿），與你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重他。這樣，便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。8總而言之，你們都要同心，彼此體恤，相愛如弟兄，存慈憐謙卑的心。
1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為社會失業勞工禱告：讓我們為正在找工作的勞工禱告。求主親自扶持失業的人民，安慰他們軟弱的心，使他們的生活不至陷入困境。求主也使相關社會服務機構及時給予勞工幫助，使他們能夠透過勞力工作，擺脫經濟困境。
Pray for the unemployed workers. Let us pray for the people who are looking for jobs. May the Lord personally support the unemployed people, comfort their weak hearts, and prevent their lives from falling into difficulties. May the Lord also cause the relevant social service organizations to provide timely assistance to the workers, so that they can overcome their economic difficulties through their labor.
2. 為教會各個團契/小組禱告：我們教會目前約有超三十幾個團契（小組），求神保守每一個團契（小組）的輔導、主席、同工們有健康的身心靈，天天與主建立親密的關係，常存渴慕與敬畏的心，並有活潑的靈命。 求神賜下聰明智慧，在神所託付的服事中敏銳聖靈的引導，服事滿有果效，在生活中學習彼此相愛、能接納包容彼此的軟弱，並用建設性的話語來鼓勵建造彼此的生命。
Pray for Fellowships & Groups. We currently have over 30 fellowship groups in our church. We pray that God will protect and preserve the health of the advisors, chairpersons, and co-workers of each fellowship (small group), that they may have an intimate relationship with the Lord every day, and maintain a heart of longing and reverence. May they have a vibrant spiritual life. We pray that God will grant them wisdom and discernment, so that they may be sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the ministries entrusted to them, and serve with great effectiveness. In their daily lives, may they learn to love one another, accept and tolerate each other’s weaknesses, and use constructive words to encourage and build up one another’s lives.
3. 為暑期各項短宣準備工作禱告：教會今年暑期短宣即將從六月開始陸續展開及出發，請為目前各項準備及訓練工作代禱。願主加添信心與能力給所有團員，使他們能放膽傳福音，勇敢事奉，得以見證主的道；願團隊有合而為一的心，使當地的人看見神的作為。也為6/10-14舉辦的VBS暑期兒童聖經學校禱告，求神藉帶領近60位孩童及家長能夠透過VBS的活動認識神。
Pray for summer STM preparation. Please pray for the VBS to be held from 6/10-14. Pray that God will lead parents and children to know God through the VBS program. In addition, pray for the Short Term Mission team that will go to Kyrgyzstan, Taichung, Taiwan, and El Cajon. May the Lord give them faith and strength, so that they can be bold to share the gospel and serve people in different cultures; may the team have a united heart to serve the Lord.
