Church Prayer and statement (禱告)
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！
Essex lorry incident (23rd October 2019)
The church welcomes migrant community(s) from different foreign lands. We all desire peace and prosperity in the land that we now dwell and the land where we come from.
We are shocked and saddened by the incident where 39 persons lost their lives and dreams while they perished in a lorry container which was found in Essex. This incident is a repetition of the Dover incident where 58 persons died 19 years ago.
The church prays for the deceased and their respective families and love ones, though we know them not. We ask the loving God to receive these souls into his abode and the abiding peace of the Emmanuel God to comfort their respective love ones with the hope of resurrection.
We pray for the syndicate group(s) that at the sight of the lost lives, they shall remember the sanctity and value of life. Above all, to know that mankind should enjoy equal opportunity in life for all are created in the image and likeness of God. We shall love and cherish one another.
We pray for the government of the countries represented by the church members to have wisdom and understanding to lead and govern their respective land where the dreams and hopes of their countrymen may be materialized.
教会欢迎来自异国他乡的移民社体。我们都渴望在现居的这一片土地上和我们个别的祖国能够享有和平及繁荣。
这一次的意外事件让我们感到震惊和悲伤，因为有39人在Essex的一辆卡车的集装箱中丧失他们的宝贵生命和梦想。这事件是重演19年前在Dover有 58人在卡车集装箱中死亡的事件。
虽然我们不认识罹难者，教会为他们及他们的个别家人和亲人献上祈祷。我们祈求慈悲的上帝将这些人的灵魂接到祂的同在中，并祈求以马内利的上帝以永恒的平安及复活的盼望来安慰他们所爱的人。
我们也为有关的非法移民集团祈祷，期望当他们看到生命的流逝时，他们会记得生命是神圣且有价值的。 更重要的是，了解每一个人都应该享有平等的机会，因为所有的人都是按上帝的形像和样式所造成的。我们务要彼此相爱和珍惜。
我们祈求各国的政府拥有智慧和魄力来领导和治理国土，在不同的家园里让他们的百姓能够实现他们的梦想和盼望。
