基督教颂恩堂「新型冠状病毒」特别通告

因「新型冠状病毒」疫情不断扩大, 卑诗省省长 John Hogan, 卑诗省首席卫生官亨利医生(Bonnie Henry)和省卫生厅长狄德安(Adrian Dix)已於本周三(3月11日)邀请省内120名宗教代表进行电话会议, 我和门诺弟兄会的区牧也在被邀之列。随著感染人数的继续增长, 政府预计未来数星期将会有更多社区爆发, 为减少感染风险及减低对医疗机构的负荷, 当局建议民众尽量避免参加人群聚集的活动，相关单位也要注意相应的防护工作, 市民及教会应该尽一切努力防止病毒在社区传播，特别是保护长者以及其他易受感染人群。省卫生部官员昨天(3月12日)更要求民众近期取消超过250人参与的各类集会活动。

昨天晚上「基督教颂恩堂」教牧同工及执事举行了紧急会议, 决定回应省卫生部的建议，暂停所有在教堂举办的主要活动, 由本星期六(3月14日)开始。相应改变包括∶

• 主日崇拜(粤、英、国）将透过网上举行（例如∶Facebook、YouTube、Zoom、Google Meet）；
• 所有主日学暂停（教牧正考虑透过网上举办其他研经学习）；
• Awana∶暂停至4月17日；
• 团契及小组∶鼓励大家透过网上及其他形式举行；
• 祈祷会∶鼓励会衆在家中和家人一同祷告, 也可参加网上由教牧同工主领的周二祈祷会（7:30pm)；
• 教牧及行政同工仍然会在教会办公室工作和事奉, 如有任何需要或询问, 请联络我们！
• 同工会透过不同途径（教会网页、Facebook、WhatsApp、电邮）, 每周与会衆发报教会及事工最新的情况。

求主给我们平安和勇气, 在疫症的阴影和威胁下, 见证基督！

「我对你们说了这些事，是要使你们在我裏面有平安。在世上你们有苦难，但你们要有勇气，我已经胜过世界。」(约翰福音 16:33; 和合本修订版)

Pacific Grace MB Church Special Announcement Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic

As you are aware, concerns regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) have been circulating in recent weeks. We want to let you know that the health and safety of our members and visitors is our priority at Pacific Grace MB Church. We are closely monitoring the situation, and we will adhere to any recommendations made by the province and local health officials regarding public gatherings. This is a dynamic situation that is changing every day.

The Deacon Board and pastors have decided to cancel all in-house worship gatherings, Sunday School classes fellowships and prayer meetings until further notice to minimize the risk of illness and protect those who are entrusted to us. AWANA regular program will also not be running until further notice (no earlier than April 17).

We have not made this decision lightly, but we believe it is the wisest course of action at this time. We will keep church news and related course of action posted periodically.  When we decide it is safe to resume our regular activities and other events, we will communicate that to you through various means.

In the meantime, we suggest that you make use of online resources such as Facebook Live, Youtube, Zoom and Google Meet as a way to connect. We will provide instructions on how to use these online resources for those who need help.

For this coming Sunday’s English Service, we will post on the church’s website (www.pgmbc.com) on how you can join the service.

Pastors and Administrative staff members will continue to work on the church premises. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any enquiries.

We are aware that situations like these can stir up fear and anxiety, God is sovereign over all things, and our ultimate hope is found in Jesus. Although we won’t be gathering for services and events, we encourage you to stay connected to the church body through calls, texts, and online engagement. Pray for those affected by this virus as we wait for Christ to return and bring about a day without sickness, suffering, and death.

In Christ,

Rev. Xavier Law, Senior Pastor

Pacific Grace MB Church
