主内列位同道及朋们平安：
成立四周年感恩聚会顺利举行，赴会者每人都领取一本秩序小册，兹将牧者的话转录以下，旨在提醒众人齐心努力共同完成建立教会的托付.
牧者的话：2004年10月开始信望爱聚会，大家集合一处，同颂主恩。四年来，教会促进敬拜、教导、关怀与宣教，配上每周二寄发心声，培训信徒,明白主道，结出灵果。每周有四次举行家庭小组，供应灵粮，彼此关怀，追求灵命成长。今日举行感恩礼拜，旨在荣耀归给上帝。第五年的主题定为“爱心施展”希伯来书10：24。教会将会继续完成林前12：15－26的四个目标：1)彼此需要，不能自我隔绝（15-20节), 2)彼此尊重,不可互相排斥（21节),3)彼此关怀,不要单顾自己（22－25节),4) 彼此联系, 确要同甘共苦（26节）.多元性与统一性并行, 是教会成长所不可缺少的因素。信徒相互为肢体，合成基督的身体，相通相合，不可能分离，乃是成为一个。不同时代中的每一位信徒，都是这身体上活的肢体，按着圣灵给他们不同的恩赐，使他们在身体上显出不同的功用。盼望进入第五年，基督的身体继续增长，并且成为一个完全的生命机体。
本主日下午六时照旧在万民堂聚会，请预备心到主的面前接受宏恩，建立信心，在丰富中迎见主的再来。
我们盼望在11月间举行关心众人的聚会，请为讲员叶明翰牧师代祷，他的师母身体欠安，相信主的应许必医治她。
不忘参加每周一晚七时半保健聚会，大家拥有一个身，心灵健壮的器皿，爱主爱人。敬祝
爱主更深
信望爱聚会全体信徒
及牧师黄鹏远 敬上

Dear fellow believers and friends,
Peace to you!
The 4th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service was successfully held and participants were each given a booklet. I append the message from ”The Pastor’s Desk” below as reminder to believers to work together to accomplish the work of establishing the church as entrusted.
From the Pastor’s Desk:
With the grace of God, in October 2004 Faith, Hope and Love Service was established. These four years, we focused on worship, teaching, caring and mission work. Every Tuesday, letters were sent to believers to encourage them on the words of God so that they can bear spiritual fruits. Each week, there were 4 cell groups where the bread of life was shared and care for each other, the pursuit of spirituality to grow. Today’s thanksgiving service is to give God all the glories and honour. The theme of the fifth year is “Love and Good deeds," Hebrews 10:24. The Church will continue to pursue the four objectives in 1 Corinthians 12:15-26: 1) need each other, not self-isolation (15-20), 2) respect each other, not mutually exclusive (21), 3) care for each other, Do not look after themselves alone (22-25), 4) contact with each other, through adversity (26). Concurrent with the unity of diversity, this is essential for growth of the church. Believers are interconnected to as one in the body of Christ with consistency and should not be separated. Irregardless of the time frame, believers are living in this body extremity, according to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, they are able to function effectively as a body. I look forward to the fifth year, the body of Christ will continue to grow and be perfect in the body.
This Sunday worship service at 6.00pm will still be held at the Peoples Presbyterian Church. Please prepare to come before the Lord to receive His blessings and build up confidence in receiving His second coming.
We hope to hold a “Caring others” gathering in the month of November 2008. Please pray for the speaker, Rev John Yeh and his wife who is unwell and that the Lord in His promise will heal her.
Please don’t forget to attend Monday’s 7.30pm Healthy Lifestyle Fellowship. We have a body and a healthy heart vessel physically and spiritually, to love God and His people.
May you love God deeply.
Rev Bunyan Oey
