建堂事工 Church Building
建堂小組於2013年10月成立，當時有四位成員，成立的目的是因為教堂已過於擁擠，聚會場地及主日學教室已不敷使用，後來在長老會通過原地加蓋的目標後，確立了目前的十一位成員：
- 召集人：戴魯文長老
- 設計： 王繼堯弟兄，李武弟兄，李孟達弟兄，JC Sanchez，程寧江弟兄
- 募款：陳小玲姊妹，葉君亮弟兄，田鷹姊妹
- 財務：鄭文杰執事
- 禱告：林淑年姊妹
The Building committee was established in October, 2013 with four members in the beginning. The purpose for having this committee was to address the overcrowding issue and the inadequacy of classrooms. After the Session approved the building expansion plan to build on the existing lot, a new committee was formed and the first meeting was held in February, 2016. The committee members include:
- Chairman: Elder Luuwen Day
- Design: Albert Wang, Wu Li, Louis Lee, JC Sanchez, Jay Cheng
- Fundraising: Xiaoling Xu, Jay Yap, Yin Tian
- Finance: Deacon Wenjie Zheng
- Prayer: Sue Yu
[啟 7:9-10] 此後，我觀看，見有許多的人，沒有人能數過來，是從各國、各族、各民、各方來的，站在寶座和羔羊面前，身穿白衣，手拿棕樹枝，大聲喊著說：「願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的 神, 也歸與羔羊。」

「施比受更有福。」
使徒行傳 20：35
2024建堂認獻勉勵信函
主內親愛的弟兄姊妹：
每一年當我提筆寫籌款信時就會格外感恩，因為你們每一位都和我一樣，回應了神的呼召和感動，作了一個的決定，就是委身這間教會，愛這教會，並為這教會付出。這是主的心意，耶穌說：「施比受更有福」（徒 20：35）。所以我深信，弟兄姊妹在過去的一年當中，也必然經歷神豐富的供應和屬靈的祝福。我們所獻給神的與我們從神而得的永遠是個逆差。愛的本質就是不平等的條約，在這恩典之約中，耶穌為我們付上了所有的代價，而我們只是恩典的領受者。主愛我們，我們本是不配的，祂用自己的寶血與選民立約，一切美好的恩典都歸我們，而我們的奉獻只是將祂所給我們的，拿出一小部分放在祭壇 上。因此，當我們思想十字架，就會發現這愛是無限的，而且有著無限的逆差。「神既不顧惜自己的兒子，為我們眾人捨了，豈不也把萬物和他一同白白地賜給我們嗎？」（羅馬書8：32）
所以，親愛的弟兄姊妹，我盼望2024年神繼續感動你們參與建堂的事工，我也深信你們必會經歷神更豐盛的恩典。祂是那為我們圖謀大事的神，讓我們憑信心一起來完成今年45萬籌款目標。
以馬內利，
蔡明恩牧師
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35
2024 Building pledge letter – Words of encouragement from the Pastor
Beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord,
My heart is filled with gratitude every year when I write the annual pledge letter, because both you and I have answered God’s call and made a decision to commit to this church, to love this church, and to serve this church. This is God’s will, and Jesus said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” I am certain all of you have experienced God’s abundant provisions and spiritual blessings in the past year. In fact, what we give to God can never compare to what we receive from him. The nature of God’s love is an unequal treaty. In this covenant of grace, Jesus paid all the price, and we received all the grace. The Lord Jesus loves us even though we are undeserving. With his own precious blood, he made a covenant with us, his elect, so that we may receive all the riches of his goodness and grace. The offerings we lay on the altar is merely a small portion of what we have received from him. Therefore, as we ponder on the cross, we will realize that Christ’s love is boundless, and we can never repay him enough for what we received. Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”
Dear brothers and sisters, I pray that God’s love will move you to participate in the Church Building Project (CBP) and I am certain that you will experience even more of his grace in 2024. He is the God who plans the grand plans, so let us work together toward the goal of raising $450,000 by faith this year.
Emmanuel,
Pastor John Chua
