米頓堅華人基督教會 MILTON KEYNES CHINESE CHRISTIAN CHURCH a 2023 年英文部工作報告
部長 : Fiona Lau & Kevin Xie
部員 : Ronald Chan & Christine Ho
‘May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.’
Romans 15:5–6
We thank God for guiding and blessing MKCCC’s English ministry throughout 2023. The English department worked closely together with the Chinese worship department to arrange a few joint services in 2023. Most importantly, we arranged MKCCC’s English service every first Sunday of the month and coordinated Crossway service, LifeGroup and 4:12 youth fellowship with COCM and Calvary Chinese Christian Church.
The weekly attendances of Crossway, LifeGroup and 4:12 fellowship have been increasing over the past few years. We count our blessings from God and continue seeking Him to provide our needs in the English ministry.
Crossway
Crossway is a collaboration of MKCCC and the Calvary Chinese Christian Church (CCCC). A Sunday Service for our English-speaking brothers and sisters. In pooling our resources and by God’s grace, we aim to build a stronger worship ministry to serve our community.
1. Action Committee Group
MKCCC: Fiona Lau, Kevin Xie, Christine Ho and Angus Fok CCCC: Rev. Raymond Au-Yeung, Ho-Shun Chik and James Voong COCM: Rev. Henry Lu, Laurence Mo and Vivian Mah
2. Events:
-
Renovation Of The Heart workshop was held in Mead Centre on 25[th] February. The topic was Spiritual Pathways, which was run by Rev. Rebecca Mao.
-
Crossway invited the church councils of MKCCC and CCCC to have a joint dinner at COCM on 2[nd] April. The leaders of both churches could get to know each other and understand more about the Crossway ministry.
-
First Aid training was arranged at COCM on 15[th] July.
-
A new Crossway website was launched in November.
3. Sermons:
- From January to March – we read the book of John and unpacked the identities of Jesus, by understanding His identity we started to understand our
16 2023年教會部門工作報告
own identities in relation to Him; the purpose of our lives, and how to relate to others in the world.
-
From April to May – we observed many examples of prayer throughout the Bible in Matthew, 1 Thessalonians, 1 Samuel, Ephesians, Luke and Psalms. We explored the theme of prayer by focusing on the various ways in which we might pray to our God and how these prayers influenced our relationship with Him.
-
From June to July – we read the book of Esther and were given encouragement of how God continued to work through the messiness of the world to bring His plans of restoration and inviting His flawed people to participate in the process.
-
From August to September – we sought to gain a fuller understanding of the Holy Spirit in the books of John, Romans, Galatians, 1 Corinthians and Acts. Through the sermon series, we gained a better understanding and appreciation of the Holy Spirit and allowed Him to transform us and related to Him as God desires.
-
From October to December – we read the book of Amos and learned that the hearts of Israelites were far from God even they fulfilled the worship rituals. As Amos revealed, a comfortable life was often the starting point for a complacent worship life. Through the series in Amos, our hope was to become more aware of the state of our worship to God.
4:12 Youth Fellowship
4:12 youth fellowship meets every Friday at COCM. Youths can choose to join the English stream or Cantonese stream and invite their friends to come along. Although both streams have separated activities, a joint worship has been organised once a month to help further unify the two streams.
The vision of the Cantonese stream was to help the new Hong Kong BNO youths to settle into their lives in the UK. The expectation is to eventually revert to a single English stream in 5-6 years’ time.

建堂展望
-
MKCCC 仍處於快速變化的階段,現階段仍存在許多不確定性,但還是會鼓勵弟兄姊 妹继续努力,尋找可合適的建堂場所。
-
繼續推廣3+1P 作為教會建設基金的定期捐款,以縮小建堂資金所設立的1 百萬目 標差距。
-
建堂預備中需要解決一些基本問題,包括教会法律框架及相应教会宪章的改动, 例如,从非法人協會或教会(管理文件:通常為章程或規則)转化为慈善法人組 織 (Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs))。
-
今後還要在靈性準備方面需要加強,藉著弟兄姊妹的齊心合力的禱告和落地的行 動尋求并順服神的旨意及带领。
