5月10-12日(五–日),教會一連六堂主日崇拜,歡慶23週年堂慶!施恩座外,創意團隊早已悉心以星星來佈置教會,呼應神對亞伯拉罕的應許:「我必賜大福給你;論子孫,我必叫你的子孫多起來,如同天上的星,海邊的沙。」(創22:17)。美倫美奐的星海吸引眾弟兄姊妹拍照留念,與教會一同歡慶。
歡欣敬拜後,由同工代表眾兒女來感謝張師母的愛。因為有牧師爸爸和師母媽媽的教會是健全的,被雙親遮蓋的兒女尤其蒙福。師母被尊榮的同時,她也尊榮和祝福在場的每位母親與她一樣成為多子樂母,享受成為母親的福份。
接著是堂慶劇,演出亞伯拉罕獻上以撒給神的故事,呈現無論是亞伯拉罕、撒拉還是以撒,都用愛與信任來回應神的愛,築起奉獻的祭壇,不為自己存留。結果,神親自預備羊羔替代以撒,愛與信任已勝過試探!神的應許如此信實,亞伯拉罕的後裔至今多如繁星。
最後,張牧師師母感恩教會23年來不斷經歷神的恩典,並從六層的玻璃杯上傾注葡萄汁,預表新酒透過他們一代代地流到第六代小組長,再湧流到全地!
帖心牧師在最後一堂崇拜更預言,未來十年,611的分堂要遍佈世界每一個城市、每一個國家。神要祝福香港更昌盛富足,成為世界樞杻,很多國家的大計劃要與香港簽訂合約!■【2024.05.19】
感恩回應
九年前從澳洲回來香港,就是611堂慶兼母親節的時候;九年後可以帶著自己肉身和屬靈的孩子一起來到神的殿,再次獻上感恩祭!
期待更多跟隨神、跟隨好牧人走愛與信任的道路!新酒要不斷澆灌湧流,期待看見神更大的作為!

感謝主藉著牧師師母在香港建立611,雖然我和家人只來了短短幾年,但也非常非常感受到神住在我們當中,能夠在23週年堂慶也是母親節,與牧師師母一起回味611這23年來怎樣一起靠着聖靈而行,即使面對任何困難,神也是照樣帶領整個教會經歷一個又一個的突破、提升,領受一年比一年多的新酒,一年比一年大的擴張,實在感動!在牧師師母身上,我看見什麼才是委身愛主,不計自己的益處,背負整個教會,是對神對人的Love and Trust!
今日能與媽咪、老公、細佬妹和兩位乖囡細味,在611這有雙親的生命樹大家庭,跟着聖靈的愛而行,真的很有動力,是最美的恩典!

我上年是堂慶詩班員,今年可休息做回觀眾,很輕省,剛巧又有別的忙碌,所以很感恩。看舞台劇選了亞伯拉罕和以撒的故事,非常感人,描述他們夫婦和兒子上山獻祭前各自的疑惑、掙扎和苦痛,到最後用愛和信任去彼此託付成全,很是感動,也有提醒。我們對權柄能否認定他們是愛我、且全然順服呢?也是非常值得我們去深思的。
另外,帖心的預言也激勵我,感恩神定意讓我們豐足,我也經歷當中;感恩教會的靈活安排,我們是新酒,也不需要每年流程一樣。十分喜歡拍汽球的環節,動感又歡樂,這樣象徵著活水湧流,又有新意。

回味亞伯拉罕獻以撒的劇,想起「我兒,明天無論發生什麼事,你都要相信我是愛祢的!」實在被亞伯拉罕一家的信心獻上所感動!
愛神到一個地步,為祂捨去最愛!信任神到一個地步,就算神吩咐做表面看來不合情理、甚至好像是害你的事,但仍然可以信任祂到底,拒絕懷疑,單純相信神是愛!這份極致的愛與信任,震撼人心!
最後一堂牧師分享他如何走上愛與信任的祭壇,在山上獻上自己,也把我們獻上,好感動!因著牧師師母的獻上,堅持走愛與信任的路,Ruby一家、Eben一家,還有611無數的家庭,今天可以用愛與信任去回應神,如雲彩般見證神是愛!
原來亞伯拉罕不單自己和一家走上愛與信任的祭壇,還穿越時空,帶領著歷世歷代的子孫走上祭壇,一代又一代承上啓下用愛與信任跟隨神,實在盪氣迴腸、動人心弦!
感謝神揀選我成為亞伯拉罕、以撒的後裔、牧師師母和帖心牧師的屬靈女兒,在歷史的長河中,一起編織愛與信任的樂章!我願意帶領我的家、我的屬靈下一代,走上愛與信任的祭壇,求聖靈幫助我們勝過考驗、堅持到底、爭戰得勝!

感謝主!堂慶兼母親節是一個隆重又興奮的日子。感恩有身量够的牧師、師母的帶領,教會23年裡面不斷成長。感謝所有教會牧者、同工的付出。感恩有舒適的施恩座讓我們敬拜神。
感恩在611教會我很有得著,讓我得著權柄的愛,讓我病得醫治,讓我有喜藥的心情。一切榮耀歸與阿爸父!

感恩神差派牧師師母來香港建立611教會,成就無數弟兄姊妹的生命,挽救無數將破碎的家庭,因著師母的愛,散發360度女人特質,幫助分堂的師母都起來做媽媽。
感恩在我很徬徨找教會的時候,有位舊同事帶我來到611教會,在教會得到牧養,更多認識神,生命也被改變。感謝神!願神將更多的屬靈恩賜給611教會,亦都求神保守牧師師母平安!

When I met Ps Joshua and C-Mo for the first time 5 years ago, C-Mo was sharing with us the 4 steps for New Wine to overflow. She was sharing that “emptying” was the hardest. At that time, we were in transition and my husband Weimin was being presented with many opportunities who wanted his talents and experience. As we were exploring the idea of coming to 611 in Hong Kong, naturally we thought of what we could bring to wherever we may go. But to our surprise, C-Mo said that she didn’t want us to come with our connections or know how but to come to “empty”. Actually I was very doubtful. The next thing I know, Weimin said: “Ok, I will empty”. It’s a MIRACLE! My husband, who was fearful of female authority, and had many things that were hard to empty, agreed to what C-Mo said.
As I remember this golden memory, I’m so thankful for God bringing us here. He plucked us from the darkness into a loving family, where we are able to receive the nutrients of the Tree of Life and be loved. When I look back, I see that I’ve been self-seeking and self-absorbed, forgetting to gaze upon our God and Saviour. Only now can I see that I am loved as mentioned in John 3:16. For God so loved Jo Lyn, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
New wine flowing really starts from longing and I’ve stopped without realising until now. Thankful for Ps Joshua, C-Mo, Basil and Ruby who continually show us to pursue God without our baggage but just how God has created us with our Being. To serve not with trepidation but with passion and joy. Thank you for continually filling us with New Wine so that we can overflow to those around us “Effortlessly”.
