李卓豪弟兄(Lambert Lee)、鄺鄭開芬姊妹(Sharon Kwong)及葉竣翔弟兄(Edwin Yip)三人自從去年十月會友大會得到會眾的信任，選舉成為中信堂首次的長老代表。以下是他們的分享，讓弟兄姐妹了解長老團隊的主要工作。

Lambert Lee, Sharon Kwong and Edwin Yip have gained the trust of the congregation and been elected as the first elder representatives of CACC since last October’s AGM. Brothers and sisters can understand the main work of the Elder Team from the following sharing.

We are continuing to care for our church and pray for our leaders as we are going through much change this year.

The English Congregation is continuing to grow with young families joining and we have created a space in the congregation to cater for them. We have also had an additional 3 new greeters join the welcome team which has brought an inviting atmosphere in pairs. 

The breakfast team is a key part to welcoming newcomers and the speakers on Sunday mornings. The team also provides nutritious meals to energise our servers and has been warmly appreciated by many. 

We look forward to catering for young families and also caring within the church while we are in a season of waiting and building a stronger connection with speakers. 

Lastly with the season of waiting, may we continue to pray for unity and compassion for those that are facing physical, emotional and spiritual challenges. Let us lift these to God to provide us strength and peace.

今年我們經歷了很多變化，我們將繼續關心教會並為我們的領袖祈禱。

隨著年輕家庭的加入，英語會眾不斷發展壯大，我們在崇拜的地方預留了一小空間給他們。我們也新增了 3 位新迎賓員加入迎賓團隊，加強了溫馨的氛圍。

早餐團隊是周日早上歡迎新來者和講員的重要事奉。團隊還提供營養餐食，使我們的事奉人員充滿活力。他們得到許多人的讚賞。

我們期待為年輕家庭提供服務，並在仰望主的時刻與講員建立更牢固的聯繫。 

最後，在仰望主的時刻，願我們繼續為那些面臨肉體、情緒和靈性挑戰的人祈禱，祈求團結和憐憫。讓我們把這些交給神，神會賜我們力量與平安。

The panel team has been going well with some personnel changes. Sarah Lowe has left us, but we welcome Kevin Chiu as a new member to the team. This year we have paired up two newer members of the team more, and they are in charge of handling all the duties of the panel for Sunday worship. An older member is assigned on standby for those weeks and they are only there to assist when required. We are still learning to utilize the new presentation tool.

 We’ve had a good year with the Worship Team. We’ve seen Victoria join us on keys and some familiar faces take on different roles, which has been exciting.

 This year, we’ve focused on helping each other grow in leading worship. We’ve started a buddy system where each week, a worship band member takes charge of arranging part of the set, with one of the worship leaders (currently Christine, Caleb, Mike, and Dan) as their mentor. This way, everyone gets a chance to learn how to lead worship.

 A big goal for us has always been to keep our worship Spirit-led and to strengthen our unity as a team. To do this, each band member is committed to attending worship workshops once every two months. These workshops not only help us upskill, but also give us precious time to worship together as a team.

Please continue to pray that our team can bring the congregation to meet God in a more intimate way.

雖然小組團隊的組員有所變動，但各方面進展良好。 Sarah Lowe 離開了我們，但我們歡迎 Kevin Chiu 成為團隊的新成員。今年我們在團隊中組合了兩位較新的成員，他們負責主日崇拜小組所有的職責。我們指派了一名較資深的成員在那幾週內待命，只在有需要時提供幫助。另一方面，我們仍在學習使用新的簡報工具。 

我們的敬拜團隊度過了美好的一年。我們看到Victoria加入我們的電子琴隊，在教會較久的成員各司各職，何等美好。

今年，我們專注於幫助帶領敬拜方面的成長。我們開始了一個夥伴機制，每週都有一位敬拜樂隊成員負責安排崇拜的其中一部份，敬拜領袖其中一位（目前是Christine, Caleb, Mike, and Dan）會成為他們的導師。這樣，每個人都有機會學習如何帶領敬拜。

我們敬拜的目的是以聖靈為主導，並加強團隊的團結。為此，每位樂團成員都承諾每兩個月參加一次敬拜工作坊。這些工作坊不僅幫助我們提升技能，也給了我們寶貴的時間在這團隊中一起敬拜。

請繼續為我們的團隊祈禱，使我們能帶領會眾更親近神。

This year in Equip was one of change as we transitioned into offering an Equip class catered to an age range from college-age youths to young adults from March 2024. Although the transition was initiated as a response to having a limited number of teachers / helpers, it had the additional benefit of giving us a space to live out the intergenerational aspect of our church mission as it puts people of different age ranges together.

The sessions were once again delivered by Sidney and I as we taught from the series ‘Rooted’ that covered the book of Genesis. Some of the highlights of this year include:

• Seeing the young adults respond to the challenge of supporting the youths through understanding the Bible and sharing their life experiences
• Seeing the youths respond in kind and being open to engaging with the young adults
• Both groups being patient and willing to come along on this journey as Sidney and I experimented with adapting the content and delivery style to make sure it is catered to all.

We hope that we are able to continue connecting believers with the word of God in the coming years.

今年在Equip事工中，我們經歷了一個變革，從2024年3月開始，轉向提供適合中學年齡段青少年和年輕成人的Equip課程。雖然這一轉變是由於教師和幫手數量有限的原因而發起的，但它還有一個額外的益處，就是為我們創造了一個機會，實踐教會使命中的跨代關係，將不同年齡段的人聚集在一起。

這些課程仍然由Sidney和我來教授，我們教導的內容來自《Rooted (紮根)》系列，涵蓋了《創世記》的教導。今年的一些亮點包括：

• 看到年輕成人回應挑戰，通過理解聖經並分享他們的生活經歷來支持青少年。
• 看到青少年也積極回應，願意與年輕成人互動交流。
• 兩組人都展現了耐心和願意一同前行，當Sidney和我嘗試調整內容和授課方式時，確保這些內容適合所有人。

我們希望在未來的歲月裡，能夠繼續幫助信徒與神的話語建立連結。

Connect 4 represents all of our English Ministry Fellowship Groups that meet on Friday nights at church. It encompasses four groups: TFG, PassionFruits, FlaminGO!, and Youth Fellowship. The theme of “Connect” is central to our mission—to foster connections among ourselves, across generations, between cultures, within the church, and ultimately with God.

This year, we’ve made strides in nurturing intergenerational relationships, particularly between our young adults and youth, through our Boys and Girls Nights. These gatherings have provided valuable opportunities for us to bond as brothers and sisters in Christ, enjoying fellowship and fun together.

As our church navigates a season of waiting, we’ve focused on two key themes to guide our discussions and reflections: Waiting and Walking in Step with the Holy Spirit. These two core truths have helped us align with our focus and purpose in this current season.

Looking ahead, we’re also beginning to consider the future. With the growth of young families in our congregation, we’re exploring ways to adapt our fellowship structure to accommodate everyone’s needs, ensuring that all can gather without needing to be locked into Friday evenings. We eagerly anticipate what God has in store for us in the coming year!

Connect 4 代表了我們所有的英文事工團契小組，這些小組每週五晚上在教會聚會。它涵蓋了四個小組：TFG、PassionFruits、FlaminGO！和青少年團契。我們使命的核心是「連結」—— 促進我們彼此之間跨代、跨文化地在教會內部連結，並最終與神連結。

今年，我們在培養跨代關係方面取得了進展，特別是在年輕成人和青少年之間，透過我們的男孩之夜和女孩之夜活動，這些聚會提供了寶貴的機會，讓我們作為基督裡的弟兄姐妹聯繫起來，共享團契和歡樂。

隨著我們教會進入等待的季節，我們專注於兩個核心主題來指導我們的討論和反思：Waiting (等待)，以及Walking in Step with the Holy Spirit ( 與聖靈同行的步伐)。這兩個核心真理幫助我們在這個季節中與我們的焦點和目的保持一致。

展望未來，隨著教會中年輕家庭的成長，我們也開始考慮未來的發展。我們正在探索如何調整我們的團契結構，以滿足每個人的需求，確保大家都能聚會，而不局限於週五晚上。我們期待著神在來年為我們預備的美好計劃！

兒童事工架構重組的構思始於年初，在教牧、長執及兒童事工的領袖們尋求主的心意後，我們便開始籌劃如何重組架構。

在三月份的事奉人員工作坊/分享會中，除了讓事奉人員互相認識，釐清事奉崗位與功能，藉此建立兒童事工團隊外，我們也分享教會對兒童事工重組架構的想法，並收集事奉人員對這建議的回應。

我們確立，事奉對象由原來0-8歲的兒童，擴展至0-12歲，即是將原來的初少事工Up & Grow納入兒童事工的一部份。

The idea of ​​reorganizing the children’s ministry began at the beginning of the year. After the pastors, elders and leaders of children’s ministry explored the Lord’s will, the restructuring then started.

In the children ministry workshop/sharing session in March, workers came to know each other. Their duties and roles were clarified, and teamwork established. The church’s ideas on children’s ministry restructuring were shared and the responses to the proposal were collected.

We have established that the children in our ministry would shift from the age 0-8 to 0-12 years old, which means the junior service “Up & Grow “would become part of the children’s ministry.

因此，現時的兒童事工有三組以年齡/級別分層的組別：

• Little Lambs：對象為4歲或以下孩子 (Preschool) 
• Gospel Kids：對象為4-8歲孩子 (Year 0 至 Year 4) 
• Up & Grow：對象為9-12歲孩子 (Year 5 至 Year 8)

Consequently, there would be three age/level groups in children’s ministry:

• Little Lambs: For children 4 years old or younger (Preschool)
• Gospel Kids: Serving children aged 4-8 (Year 0 to Year 4)
• Up & Grow: Serving children aged 9-12 (Year 5 to Year 8)

1. 重組原因 
   從過往的經驗及近年參與教會的家庭來看，雖然Up & Grow是初少事工，但他們的牧養需要其實與Gospel Kids也有相似之處。考慮這兩組的崇拜流程及安排比較相近，將Up & Grow納入兒童事工似乎更有助其發展及對兒童適應升班更有幫助。
   
   
2. 重組細節
   在崇拜的信息方面，我們一直使用The Gospel Story Bible的課程，讓孩子認識神話語的同時亦能明白福音。所以，在兒童事工重組時，我們除了將兩組的課程同步安排外，還考慮兩組的年齡間距，將信仰課程由3年修改為4年，來深化孩子在不同成長階段的信仰學習，認識福音，確立基督信仰。

A. Reasons for restructuring

Judging from past experience and the needs of families who have joined the church in recent years, “Up & Grow” though is a junior ministry, their needs are actually similar to Gospel Kids. Considering the similarity of the worship processes and arrangements of the two groups, merging “Up & Grow” into the children’s ministry seems to be more beneficial to its development and more helpful for children in their transition.

B. Restructuring details

With regards to worship, we have been using the course lesson of “The Gospel Story Bible” so the children can understand God’s words while also understand the gospel. When reorganizing the children’s ministry, we arrange the lessons of the two groups proceed side by side. In consideration of the age gap between the two groups, we change the length of course from 3 years to 4 years with a view to deepen children’s faith in Christianity and understand the gospel better in the different stages of growth. 

引入小組模式

當孩子踏入前青少年期，期待學習獨立思考，在各方面發展個人想法。所以，在Up & Grow的牧養上，我們引入小組模式，讓他們在電子產品盛行的年代，學習與人溝通，與人面對面表達自己。透過小組導師對不同聖經主題的引導和分享，幫助孩子認識自己和別人，在信仰群體中互相守望和建立，深化他們對基督信仰的理解和生活實踐，並回應成長的挑戰。

此外，我們期望回應他們屬靈生命上不同的需要，尤其是確立與上帝和肢體的關係，並增加對教會的歸屬感，長大後繼續在教會成長與事奉

Introduction of group model

When children enter their early teenage, they are to learn thinking independently and develop their own personal ideas. In the service for “Up & Grow”, we introduce a group model so that they can learn communicating with each other and express themselves face-to-face in the time when electronic products are so prevalent. Through sharing various biblical themes as guided by tutors, we help children understand themselves and others. They will be watchful and build each other up in our community; have better understanding of Christianity and put words in practice to meet the challenges in their growth.

In addition, we hope to respond to their various needs in spiritual life, especially to build up their relationship with God and other members of the church. We hope to increase their sense of belonging to the church and continue to grow and serve in the church when they have grown up.

學習奉獻

由7月第一個主日開始，在兒童崇拜中加入奉獻環節，讓孩子學習並實踐相關教導，因為一切都屬於上帝，我們作為上帝財富的管家，以奉獻金錢來回應主恩典，也讓孩子明白如何透過奉獻，建立教會。

Learn to offering

Starting from the first Sunday in July, a time of offering will be added to children’s worship, allowing children to practise what they have learned. Everything belongs to God. As stewards of God’s wealth, we respond to the Lord’s grace by offering money. Let children understand they can build up the church through giving.

為了讓孩子在教會建立更多美好回憶，於去年堂慶開始，我們都每季為Little Lamb 及Gospel Kids的孩子安排一次生日會。由今年開始，在Up & Grow亦開始安排生日會，讓孩子一起歡聚，唱生日歌、玩遊戲和食蛋糕，慶祝生日。

至於其他活動，我們也期望將來繼續安排主題聖經課和兒童詩班，讓所有孩子一起參與。

With a view to give children more notable memory in the church, we have arranged a birthday party for the children of Little Lamb and Gospel Kids every quarter since last year’s church anniversary. Starting this year, Up & Grow will also have birthday parties so that children can get together to sing birthday songs, play games and have cakes to celebrate their birthdays.

As to other activities, we hope to continue the themed Bible classes and organize children choir so that all children can all join together.

堂址擴建計劃暫停但並沒有取消。我們相信神會在合適的時候讓計劃重新啟動，請大家繼續為擴建計劃禱告和奉獻支持。

The new extension building project is paused but not abandoned. We are in faith that God will resume the project at a suitable timeframe. May we all continue to support the project through prayers and offerings.

我們想藉此機會感謝所有在過去一年參與促進CACC 跨文化願景的弟兄姊妹。如果你有興趣成為團隊的一部分，請聯繫我們。

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the brothers and sisters who have contributed to advancing CACC’s cross-cultural vision over the past year. If you are interested in becoming part of the team, please contact us.

感謝天父，我們有一班弟兄姊妹熱心參與教會各項活動，又在攝影上有心事奉。

我們團隊中有成人和青少年，在不同生活背景，不同年齡層，語言的差異情況下 一起事奉上帝，在基督裏相處，學習接納別人的不同, 學習一起成長, 實踐中信家的願景。

我們希望可以把中信大家庭的每一個點滴記下來，讓大家在日後有珍貴的照片來記念神在過往多年給我們的恩典，勉勵我們更努力向前走天國的道路。

We thank our Heavenly Father for the brothers and sisters who are eager to participate in various church activities and are devoted to serving through photography.

In our team, there are both adults and youth, from different walks of life, age groups, and languages, yet together we serve God, learning to live in unity in Christ. We are learning to accept one another’s differences, grow together, and practise the vision of CACC as one family.

Our hope is to capture every precious moment of our CACC family, so that in the days to come, we may have cherished photos to remember God’s grace over the years, encouraging us to press on faithfully toward the path of the Kingdom.

活動也是教會內部溝通的重要部分，無論活動是否與信仰有直接關係。它們提供了互動、團契和共同經歷的機會，有助於加強溝通並鞏固彼此的關係。

感謝年青人為我們預備了母親節及父親節的特别拍照佈景版連道具，為主日增添了活潑的節日喜樂元素，英語堂Equip群體為母親節製作小禮物，促進跨代團契， 還有中秋節「基督裏團圓」聚餐的籌辦，營造了一個感恩和歡樂的氛圍，今年的全教會運動日更會移師到一個新場地舉行，跨代同樂！

Activities are an important part of internal communication within the church, regardless of whether they have a direct connection to faith. They provide opportunities for interaction, fellowship, and shared experiences, helping to strengthen communication and deepen relationships.

We thank the young people for preparing special Mother’s and Father’s Day photo booths with props, adding a vibrant and joyful element to our Sunday services. The Equip group, now with young adults and teenagers, made small gifts for Mother’s Day, fostering intergenerational fellowship. Additionally, the Mid-Autumn “Reunion in Christ” lunch created an atmosphere of gratitude and joy. This year’s church-wide Sports Day will be held at a new venue, offering intergenerational fun for all!

在此衷心感謝幕後團隊：

太多弟兄姊妹參與，未能盡録  

There were too many brothers and sisters participating, so we were unable to record everyone.

At last year’s Mission Convention, Missionary Pastor Eric Ko from Care Ministries International New Zealand (CMINZ) shared and arranged the following ministries.

• Food Bank: More than a dozen brothers and sisters participated in the food bank’s packing work on August 2 and September 27, 2023. Currently there are still a few sisters who continue to participate in this ministry.
• Collections: In late October 2023, we collected 320 sets of children’s toothpaste and toothbrushes (ages 5-16) and donated them to Niue Short-Term Medical Mission Teams in the South Pacific and children in need.
• Muslim Family Support: On December 16, 2023, six brothers and sisters from the English Church brought Christmas gifts to celebrate Christmas with 14 children from three Muslim families.
• Donating Supplies: On May 26, 2024, we collected sleeping bags, winter clothes and food and distributed them to street sleepers through CMINZ.

Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Gift Box Campaign: In October 2023, we gave away 150 Christmas gift boxes full of love.

在去年的宣教年會上，紐西蘭國際關懷協會高德成宣教士分享並安排了以下事奉事工:

• 食物銀行：有十多位弟兄姊妹在2023年8月2日和9月27日參與了食物銀行的包裝工作。目前仍有數位姊妹持續參與。
• 收集物資：在2023年10月下旬，我們收集了320套兒童牙膏和牙刷（5-16歲），捐贈給南太平洋的紐埃醫療短宣隊及有需要的兒童。
• 穆斯林家庭支援：2023年12月16日，六位英文堂的弟兄姊妹攜帶聖誕禮物，與三個穆斯林家庭的十四個孩子共渡聖誕聯歡。
• 贈送物資：2024年5月26日，我們收集睡袋、寒衣和食物，通過關懷協會送給街頭露宿者。

「愛善施」聖誕禮物盒行動：在2023年10月，我們送出150個充滿愛心的聖誕禮物盒。

This year is very special. CACC has not arranged our usual annual Mission Convention. We encourage brothers and sisters to attend Global Impact Week organised by Christian Missionary Alliance New Zealand. 

今年是很特別的一年，中信堂沒有安排「宣教年會」。鼓勵弟兄姊妹一同參加出席紐宣總會安排的Global Impact Week。

Adhering to the tradition of Missionary Alliance, CACC continues to participate in missions. Over the past year, through our annual Faith Pledge, we supported Missionary Alliance Global Mission Funds, CACC Mission Fund and three local missionaries, Karl Udy, Enoch Chan, and Mackenzie Nichol.

In addition, through the CACC Mission Fund, we continue to support our brothers and sisters in Christ, Simon and Karen Liu, who are spreading the gospel in Japan.

Thank God for His grace! Many brothers and sisters were moved and faithful in their offering. Total pledge collected for 2023-2024 reached $45,575, exceeding our target by 30%. On 17 September 2023, we raised an additional $1,490.10 from “selling mooncakes” to support our three local missionaries.

In 2024-2025, we will continue to support Simon and Karen Liu, and officially supporting Ps Eric Ko from CMINZ.

中信堂秉承宣道會的傳統，持續參與差傳。在過去的一年裡，我們透過每年的信心認獻，支持了紐宣總會宣教基金和中信堂宣教基金，並三位本土宣教士——Karl Udy、Enoch Chan和Mackenzie Nichol。

此外，我們亦透過教會的宣教基金，繼續支援我們在主裡的兄弟姐妹——Simon和Karen Liu，他們正在日本傳揚福音。

感謝主的恩典！感動弟兄姊妹在金錢上的忠心奉獻。2023-2024年度的信心認獻總額達到$45,575，超過目標30%。同時在2023年9月17日透過「冰皮月餅義賣」籌得額外$1490.10支持三位本土宣教士。

在2024-2025年度，我們將繼續支持Simon和Karen Liu，並新增支持紐西蘭國際關懷協會的高德成傳道。

We pray that Heavenly Father will revive our prayerful hearts and that Heavenly Father will raise up more brothers and sisters in our church, far and near, to love our neighbours and be compassionate, and to continue to learn and respond to the Lord’s great love on the road of evangelism and mission.

I want to pray with the lyrics of the hymn “All is Grace”:

O Lord! Rise up! Build up the church so that we may be strengthened by you, unite and become a member of your body, in the kingdom of your beloved Son.

求天父復興我們禱告的心，並懇求天父在我們教會中興起更多弟兄姊妹，無論遠近，都存著愛鄰舍、好憐憫的心，在傳福音和宣教的路上不斷學習，回應主的大愛。

我想以讚美詩《一群大能的子民》中的歌詞成為我們的禱告：

主啊！興起！建立教會，使我們靠你堅固，成為合一祢的肢體，在祢愛子的國度。

Our overall operational expenses (i.e. for CACC and CACC Trust collectively) has increased by 34% compared to last year. Although a large increase, this was still 8% less than what we had budgeted for. 

全年平均營運支出(即中信堂及中信堂信託基金的總支出)跟去年比較增加了34%。增長是比較大，但仍然是比預算少8%。

A breakdown of our operational expenses is set out below:

以下是營運支出的分配:

Key drivers for the above figures are as follows:

• Pastoral expenses were significantly lower as we had fewer paid staff.
• General expenses were significantly increased for love gift for speakers

上述支出數據的主要因素 :

• 教牧薪津顯著降低，因為我們有較少的受薪員工。
• 一般支出大幅增加，主要由於對講員的愛心奉獻。

We are expecting the coming year to remain tough from a financial perspective, but we remain confident that God will supply our every need.

The key call outs in expenditure are as follows:

We are actively looking to recruit an English Ministry pastor and a Chinese Ministry pastor. We remain faithful that God will bring suitable candidates to CACC in His time.

Some of the budgets for the ministries look different to the previous years as we have combined some ministries together (Children and Intermediates, and Youth and English). We have also included a budget to set up “Little Lambs”.

There are some capital expenditures ($31K) anticipated for this coming year, which will support our Sunday services as well as improving the useability of more of our smaller rooms in the building. This includes upgrades to our ventilation system in the library and function room, replacing the broken amp in the main hall, and upgrading our panel which is reaching end of life.

There are no significant anticipated changes in our operational and capital expenditure other than those raised above.

從財務角度來看，我們預期來年將會是不容易的，但我們堅信神必供應我們一切所需。

主要的支出項目如下：

我們正積極尋求聘請一位英文事工牧者和一位粤語事工牧者。我們相信神必在祂的時刻為中信堂帶來合適的僕人。

一些事工的預算與往年有所不同，因為我們已將部分事工合併（兒童與初小，以及青年與英文事工）。我們還包含了設立Little Lamb的預算。

今年預計有一些資本支出（$31K）用於改善主日崇拜時的體驗及教會其他空間的使用。這包括圖書館和多功能室通風系統的升級、更換主堂內破損的擴音器，並取代目前接近使用壽命末期的影音系統。

除了上述提到的內容外，我們的營運和資本支出預計沒有重大變化。

Please accept our apology that the structure planning is still a work in progress.

請接受我們的歉意，架構規劃工作仍在進行中。
