Dear brothers and sisters,
Praise the Lord, we can always see a few new and old friends in the Sunday Service, and we will happily clap our hands to welcome them. But occasionally some new comers feel embarrassed standing up introducing themselves. Our sincere applause might make them feel uneasy.
Yet sometimes the new comers are ‘forgotten’ in the welcoming time, while others are welcomed with applause, they are neglected and no one notices their presence. We sincerely apologise for this.
All attendants, believers or non-believers alike, have their own expectations and reasons, due to their thoughts and spiritual being, will have different response to the meetings. When Nathanael asked, ‘Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?’ Philip said, ‘Come and see.’ We need to help people see Jesus in our meetings. (John 1:46)
With a new baby at home, my life style has changed. I rushed home excitedly every day and started another busy time, humbly learning to communicate with another being. As she cannot express herself with words, I have to examine her to know her and her needs and listen to her heart.
Tired? Yes, a bit, but very happy!
In Him,
Sam Wong
