一、本週經文 Scriptures：羅馬書1:16-17 Romans
16 我不以福音為恥；這福音本是神的大能，要救一切相信的，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。17 因為神的義正在這福音上顯明出來；這義是本於信，以至於信。如經上所記：「義人必因信得生。」
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為美國禱告：明尼蘇達州明尼阿波利斯市一所天主教學校8/27發生重大槍擊案件，在當日晨間彌撒進行時，槍手朝校內教堂彩繪玻璃花窗連開數十槍，造成3人死亡（包括槍手本人）與17人受傷，多數為孩童。讓我們在禱告中記念這些家庭與孩子，求主醫治這些受創傷的孩童與家長。
Pray for America. A major shooting incident occurred on August 27 at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the morning Mass, the shooter fired dozens of rounds at the stained glass windows inside the school chapel, resulting in 3 deaths (including the shooter) and 17 injuries, most of them children. Let us remember these families and children in our prayers. May the Lord bring healing to the wounded children and their parents.
2. 為教會禱告：今年教會即將邁入55週年，求主使弟兄姊妹不只是渴慕獲取信仰的知識，更渴慕生命因著信仰所帶來的轉化。讓教會不僅只關心人是否得救，更願意關心人，過的好不好? 讓弟兄姊妹開始願意走入自己所居住的社區，關心人們的需要，然後思考我們的教會能提供什麼樣的答案。藉著教會及小組的聚會，一起使耶穌解決我們生命中的難題。
Pray for our church. This year marks the 55th anniversary of our church. Let us pray that the Lord would lead our church to not only desire knowledge of the faith, but also to long for the transformation of life that true faith brings. May our church care not only about whether someone is saved, but also about how they are truly doing. May we be willing to step into the communities where we live, to care for the needs of the people around us, and to reflect on what answers our church can offer. Through church and small group gatherings, may we come together to let Jesus address the challenges in our lives.
3. 為弟兄姊妹的婚姻關係禱告：為教會所有的夫妻禱告，上帝設立婚姻有美好的心意，使兩個完全不同的人在婚姻裡學習彼此相愛，雖然不容易，但求主幫助每一對夫妻在遇見瓶頸的時候都能來尋求祢，賜下溝通的智慧，醫治彼此的傷痕，重燃夫妻間的愛火，享受婚姻當中的甜美。求主使受傷的夫妻關係能在基督裡得著醫治、修復與和好，經歷平安喜樂環繞我們的家庭。
Pray for every couple in the church. We lift up every couple in the church. God designed marriage with such a beautiful purpose—that two very different people would learn to love each other through it. We know it’s not always easy, but we ask the Lord to help each couple turn to Him when they face challenges. May He give them wisdom to communicate well, bring healing to any hurts, and rekindle their love so they can enjoy the sweetness of marriage again. We also ask that any broken or hurting relationships be restored and reconciled in Christ, and that every home would be filled with His peace and joy.
4. 為教會下半年幸福小組即將開始禱告：下半年幸福小組即將開始，為所有的幸福小組福長、同工禱告。爲接下來幸福小組的季節禱告，求主興起更多願意為福音付代價的人，按神的心意使許多失喪的人認識福音、進到教會，改變身份成為神的兒女。
Pray for the second-half season of the Happiness Groups. The second-half season of the Happiness Groups is about to begin. We pray for all the group leaders and co-workers. We also lift up the upcoming season of these groups, asking the Lord to raise up more people who are willing to pay the price for the gospel. May He, according to His will, help many who are lost to come to know the gospel, enter the church, and have their identities transformed as children of God.
5. 為肢體禱告：請繼續為Danielle手術後的恢復禱告。為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告，求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Please pray for Danielle’s recovery after brain surgery. Pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health, and ask God to heal them and restore them to good health.
