一﹑本週經文Scriptures:詩篇‬ ‭34‬:‭18 Psalm‬、約翰福音 1:5 John
18 耶和華靠近傷心的人, 拯救心靈痛悔的人。The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
5光照在黑暗裡,黑暗卻不能勝過光。The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

二、禱告事項 Prayer Items
1. 為歐洲青少年與全球局勢禱告:近年歐洲青少年涉入恐攻的人數以驚人速度增加。2023年在歐洲被捕的60名伊斯蘭極端主義恐怖分子中,有三分之二未滿18歲,可能與極端思想透過社群媒體與人工智慧快速擴散有關。懇求神親自保護歐洲的青少年,使他們不落入惡者的迷惑,並能持守福音與真理。
Pray for Youth in Europe and Global Situations. In recent years, the number of teenagers in Europe involved in terror-related activities has increased at an alarming rate. In 2023, among the 60 Islamist extremists arrested across Europe, two-thirds were under 18. This may be linked to the rapid spread of extremist ideas through social media and artificial intelligence. Pray that God will protect the youth in Europe, keep them from the enemy’s deception, and help them hold firmly to the gospel and truth.

2. 聖誕節的屬靈預備:聖誕假期將近,在忙碌預備禮物、參加各樣慶祝活動與餐會之餘,邀請弟兄姊妹預留一段時間安靜在神面前,思想聖誕節的真意「救贖、和平與愛」,如何在我們的日常生活中被活現出來
求主在我們教會中建立真實、以基督為中心的關係,使我們在彼此支持中更深地與神同行。
Spiritual Preparation for Christmas. As the Christmas season approaches, in the midst of preparing gifts and attending celebrations and gatherings, we invite everyone to set aside quiet time before God. Reflect on the true meaning of Christmas,” redemption, peace, and love “, and how these can be lived out in our daily lives.

3. 聖誕主日與燭光平安夜:為教會聖誕主日與燭光平安夜的所有預備代禱,也為我們所要邀請的親友禱告。 願救主降世帶來的平安與喜樂透過我們分享給更多身邊的人,使人心歸向神。
Christmas Sunday Service and Christmas Candlelight Service. Pray for all the preparations for our Christmas Sunday service and Christmas candlelight service. Also pray for the friends and family we plan to invite. May the peace and joy brought by our Savior’s birth be shared through us with more people, drawing hearts closer to God.

4. 為關係禱告:為我們與神的關係、與配偶的關係、與孩子以及家人、親友、同事的關係禱告。求神賜下破冰與和好的大能,幫助我們重新建立合神心意、美好而健康的生命連結。
Pray for Relationships. Pray for our relationship with God, with our spouse, with our children, and with our family members, friends, and coworkers. Ask God to grant the power to break through barriers and bring reconciliation, helping us rebuild healthy, God-honoring relationships.

5. 為肢體身心靈代禱: 為你所知道身心靈軟弱或欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神親自醫治、恢復健康,並保守他們在患難中仍經歷神同在的平安、信心與扶持。
Pray for the Church Family. Pray for brothers and sisters you know who are physically, emotionally, or spiritually unwell. Ask God to bring healing, restore their strength, and surround them with His peace and presence, even in the midst of trials.
