公告 Announcements

親愛的EFCP會友們：

這一波的新冠狀肺炎疫情目前在鳳凰城地區還沒有達到可以恢復正常聚會的程度。所以，長執會於4/23日決定將繼續維持目前教會網路線上聚會的方式到5月底。如果這期間疫情和緩可以恢復正常聚會，我們會儘快的另外通知大家。也因此，原訂5/3號的宣教主日將延期到今年的下半年，新的時間容許日後再通知。而5/3號的主日聚會將採用平常中英文分開聚會的方式繼續舉行。另外，5/10號的母親節主日崇拜將仍舊採用中英文聯合的方式舉行，但是原訂敬拜後的母親節聚餐則將取消，請弟兄姊妹諒解配合。

特別感謝弟兄姊妹在過去這段時間的配合支持，讓教會的主日崇拜，主日學，小組聚會以及禱告會都能夠繼續的用網路聚會的形式進行。如果您因為技術上的困難，還沒有能夠參加教會的網路聚會，請您務必儘快和小組長，主日學老師及牧師們聯絡，我們好幫助您解決困難，遵循聖經不可停止聚會的教導，維持和神以及教會肢體間的合宜連結。

如果您因為這次的疫情造成生活上的困難，或是有一些特別的需要，請您儘快的與小組長或是教會的牧長聯絡，我們將僅可能的和您一起來面對這些困難以及提供必要的幫助。也請您繼續的舉起禱告的手，特別為我們的政府領袖，那些第一線的醫療和救護人員以及社區，教會，和我們的周遭的家人朋友禱告。求神施恩憐憫，保守看顧。也讓這次的疫情，成為我們每個人信心和靈命成長的機會。

最後，願神賜福給您和您的家人、保護你們，賜你們平安。

Dear EFCP Members,

This wave of new Covid-19 pandemic has not yet reached a level where normal gatherings can be resumed in the Phoenix area. Therefore, the D&E board decided on 4/23 that it will continue to maintain the current way of church online meetings until the end of May. If the epidemic situation eases and normal gatherings can be resumed before end of May, we will notify you as soon as possible. As a result, the original Missionary Day of the 5/3 will be postponed to the second half of this year, and new time will be notified in the future. The Sunday meeting on 5/3 will continue in the usual way of separate meetings in Chinese and English. In addition, the Mother's Day worship on 5/10 will still be combined service with Chinese and English, but the Mother Day’s lunch after worship will be cancelled. Please be understood and supportive.

Special thanks to the brothers and sisters for your supports during the past period, so that the church ’s Sunday worship, Sunday school, small group meetings and prayer meetings can continue to be conducted in the form of online. If you haven’t been able to participate in those meetings due to technical difficulties, please be sure to contact your small group leader, Sunday school teachers or pastors as soon as possible. We can help you to solve these difficulties so that you can follow the Bible ’s teaching to not stop worship. Doing so, you can maintain a proper connection with God and the body of church.

If you have difficulties in your life due to this epidemic, or have some special needs, please contact your small group leader or the pastor of the church as soon as possible. We will help you face these difficulties and provide necessary help as much as we can. Please also continue to raise your hand of prayer, especially for our government leaders, those first-line medical and responders, as well as communities, churches, and family and friends around you. Pray for God’s mercy and care. Also let this epidemic become an opportunity for the faith and spiritual growth for each of us.

Finally, may God bless you and your family, protect you, and give you peace
