Church Prayer and statement (禱告)

​

敬爱的弟兄姐妹及朋友们，

鉴于「武汉肺炎 - 新型冠状病毒」的发生以及还不断在演变中，我们需要同心协力关注疫情的趋势以及如何照顾个人家庭的健康。随着中国春节假期即将结束，将有许多的同胞会陆续的回到英国。我们需要严谨面对及学习迫切儆醒为疫情祷告。由于目前尚未研发具疗效药物，医疗单位所采取的措施是：“有疑似病例需即刻彻底隔离才能控制疫情。“（请参考权威机构发布的新型冠状病毒防疫手册）

教会的建议如下，敬请大家严加遵守：

1. 在中国的疫情尚未有效控制之前，请避免回乡。近期有回国行程者，英国外交部已经建议即刻取消行程。

2. 凡近期从中国过年探亲回英国者，请注意在候机室及航班上有交叉感染的可能性。回到英国后，请自行居家隔离两周后（14天），再来参加主日崇拜或小组聚会。在居家隔离期间，若有出现呼吸道感染症状，如鼻塞、流鼻水、咳嗽、发烧等，请直接拨打111，NHS会做出及时处理和治疗，不要耽延。

3. 即使个人没有回乡，请留意近期从国内回英国的家人亲友的健康状况，特别是共同生活、密切互动的家人以及自己的健康。

4. 为了有效防疫，在公共场所如：市场，学校，办公室，餐厅，外卖店等，尽量与他人保持一定的安全距离，不握手、不拥抱、不近距离聊天交谈。

5. 为世界卫生组织，中国国家的首脑，灾区医疗团队和家人，病犯者及丧失家人的家庭等祷告，求主安慰医治怜悯他们。祈求上帝怜悯医治这个大地，让疫情早日平息。历代志下 7:

6. 这称为我名下的子民，若是谦卑自己，祷告，寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。

7. 请留心并配合英国卫生部的相关讯息和指引。

主耶稣说，”我留下平安给你们，我把我的平安赐给你们。我所赐给你们的，不像世人所赐的。你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。”  约翰福音 14:27

Dear brothers, sisters and friends

In view of the outbreak and spread of the new Coronavirus, designated 2019-nCoV, we need to work together and focus on the trends of the epidemic and how to take care of the health of individuals and families.

As the Chinese New Year holiday is coming to an end, many people will be returning to Britain from Asia one after another. We need to take this situation very seriously and learn how to pray for the situation. 

As effective drugs have not yet been developed, the measures adopted by medical staff are as follows: "Suspected cases need to be quarantined immediately to control the epidemic." (Please refer to the Coronavirus prevention guidelines available online)

The church's recommendations are as follows:

1. Please do not return to your home country until the outbreak in China has been effectively controlled. The British Foreign Office has recommended for those who have recently planned a visit to China to cancel their trips if possible.

2. Anyone who has recently returned to the UK from visits to China and other affected destinations may have the possibility of being a carrier of the virus after being in crowded areas such as airport lounges and airplanes.  To minimize the risk of spreading of the virus, after returning to the UK, please self-quarantine by staying at home for at least two weeks and avoiding public areas, including public transport, before coming to attend Sunday worship or group gatherings. During the quarantine period, if you have symptoms of respiratory infections, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, fever, etc., please dial 111 directly and inform NHS of your symptoms to receive guidance on what to do next.

3. If you have not been travelling abroad, please also pay attention to the health status of family members and friends who have recently returned to the UK from visits to affected areas, especially those who live with you.

4. For effective epidemic prevention, try to maintain a safe distance with others in public places such as markets, schools, offices, restaurants, take-out shops, and do not shake hands, hug, or chat in close proximity.

5. Pray for the World Health Organization, the head of the Chinese nation, the medical staff and family members currently in the affected areas, the sick and the families who have lost their family members to the disease, and ask the Lord to comfort and heal them. Pray for God's mercy to heal this earth, and let the epidemic subside soon. 2 Chronicles 7: 14 “If these people are called in my name, if they humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn away from their evil deeds, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.”

6. Pay attention to relevant information updates and cooperate with guidelines released by the UK Department of Health.

 

The Lord Jesus said, "I leave peace to you, and I give you my peace. What I give you is not like what the world has given you. Don't be troubled in your heart, and don't be timid." John 14:27

Hong Kong situation
The local church is pioneered by a group of faithful believers who are originated from Hong Kong. They still possess many fond and passionate memories of the land which is known to them as the “Fragrant Harbor.” As a church, we are concerned with the current developments in the land which they once called home. 

 

We call on the government and leaders of the land to contain the current situation in order that peace, stability and development may be restored. As human being, we all desire certainty for tomorrow and the assurance of the future for our next generation.
We call on the people to demonstrate maturity and understanding to safeguard the continuous peace and development of the land by working closely with the local authority. Despite of the diverse political stances or opinions, the common goal of keeping order and achieving peace is the prime goal for all.

We trust all will desire to see past the chaos of the moment and focus on the kind of society in which we wish to live. The yardstick of our actions should be governed by the golden rule to cherish each other as we cherish ourselves.

A Prayer for Hong Kong
Holy and Gracious God, Lord of All and Giver of Life,
We hold before you the people of Hong Kong and those connected to it.
We pray for an end to the violence and for your peace and justice to be known.
We pray for your guidance that the leaders may have wisdom and strength to discern a way forward that respects the value of each person.
We pray for the churches that they may be witnesses to your love and mercy, and be beacons of hope.
We remember your faithfulness to us, and that with you, all things are possible.
We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, Amen.

本教会是由一群来自香港的虔诚信徒所创办。他们对这片被称为“香港”的土地依然拥有许多美好和激昂的回忆。身为教会的一份子，我们关注这曾经是我们家园的当前发展局势。

我们呼吁政府和当地的领导能够掌握当前的局势，以确保持续的和平，稳定及发展。 身为人民，我们都响往有确据的明天和下一代的未来有保障。

我们呼吁人民表现出成熟和理解，密切与当局合作，维护社会的和平与发展。尽管我们有不同的政治立场或见解，维护秩序和实现和平是当前人人首要的共同目标。

我们相信所有的人都希望摆早日脱当前的混乱局面，并打造一个所期望的理想社会环境。我们采纳的行动准绳是爱人如己，互相珍惜。

为香港祷告：
仁慈圣洁的上帝，万有的主宰，生命的颁赐者，
我们为香港的百姓和相关人们祷告。
我们呼求暴动可以早日平息，和平及公义被发扬。
我们求袮指引领导们有智慧和能力来指引未来方向及珍惜每一个人的价值。
我们求袮让教会如同明灯照耀，成为袮爱和怜悯的见证人。
我们谨记袮对我们的诚信，我们也确信在袮，凡事都能。
我们祷告时奉主耶稣基督，祂就是和平之君，的名，阿门！
