教會工作報告 – 張松柏傳道
感謝神，經過數月的尋覓傳道同工，在九月份帶領葉傳道和莊牧師成為教會教 牧同工，牧養粵語堂、華語堂的會眾和英語少年團契。葉傳道和莊牧師一方面 分別參與粵語部和華語部各小組的聚會，另一方面探訪各語言部的弟兄姊妹。 兩位牧者很快溶入和適應牧養的群體，在主裏與會眾建立良好的關係。
教會的主題是「在愛中建立基督的身體」，引自經文以弗所書 4:16 「全身都靠 他聯絡得合式、百節各按各職、照著各體的功用、彼此相助、便叫身體漸漸增 長、在愛中建立自己。」主要在祟拜講道中分享這信息和鼓勵弟兄姊妹在日常 生活中實踐。
教會一月二日分別在早堂和午堂的主日崇拜中舉行新年度理事就職禮，一方面 讓弟兄姊妹認識他們，另一方面禱告記念他們在主裏的服侍。
四月舉行記念受難節聚會，在華語部和粵語部分別舉行，華語部在受難節前的 週六，有二十人參加，粵語部在受難節晚上，有二十六人參加，兩語言部的主 題同是「十架七言」，在聚會中讓會眾再思主在十架的犧牲和大愛。
教會在五月一日舉行聯合崇拜，慶祝教會成立二十五週年。聯合崇拜讓早堂和 午堂的會眾一起敬拜，敬拜後兩堂的弟兄姊妹互相認識、交流。 讓兩堂的信徒進一步互相認識，八月底在劍橋 Jesus Green 舉辦全教會旅行，共 有八十多人參加，五十多人來自粵語堂和三十人華語堂。上午有唱詩、集體遊 戲，遊戲分組時混合兩堂的弟兄姊妹，中午在草地上野餐，下午在公園自由活 動，促進彼此的認識。感謝主，當天賜下美好的天氣，弟兄姊妹有美好的相聚 時刻。
二月份英語崇拜暫停，主要原因是事奉同工流失，有部分同工搬離劍橋；雖然 英語崇拜暫停運作，但英語少年團契繼續舉行，盼望教會能繼續牧養這些少年 人，在主裏成長。禱告祈求上主按祂的心意和時間，預備同工，時機成熟時便 可重開英語崇拜。
感謝神，從香港來的家庭續有增長，他們主要參加迦南組的聚會，感恩他們逐 漸增加在教會的歸屬感，他們表示感受到弟兄姊妹的愛。
七月份開始有弟兄姊妹在週五幫忙教會的清潔，使教會為會眾提供更優良的環 境參加敬拜和聚會。
隨著疫症受到控制，大部分弟兄姊妹回到教會敬拜，各小組亦積極安排實體活 動，鼓勵弟兄姊妹有面對面的交流，更好的互相守望。
回望 2022 年，神的恩典滿滿，帶領劍橋教會經歷充滿挑戰的一年。展望 2023 年， 教會的主題：活出愛，讓我們活出主的愛，把福音傳給身邊的親友和鄰舍。

Church overview – Pastor Matthew Cheung
Thank God, after several months of searching pastoral workers, in September, leading Pastor Ip and Pastor Zhuang to become pastors of the church, serving the Cantonese congregation, the Mandarin congregation and the English Light Fellowship. On one hand, Pastor Ip and Pastor Zhuang participated in the gatherings of the groups of the Cantonese congregation and the Mandarin congregation, and on the other hand, they visited the brothers and sisters in respective congregations. The two pastors quickly integrated into and adapted to different groups/fellowships, and established good relationships with the congregation in the Lord.
The theme of the church is "building up the body of Christ in love", quoted from Ephesians 4:16 " from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” This message is shared in worship sermons and brothers and sisters are encouraged to practice it in daily life.
On January 2[nd] , the church held the inauguration ceremony of the new year's council members in the morning and afternoon Sunday worship services. On one hand, brothers and sisters know them better, and on the other hand, they would pray for their service in the Lord.
In April, a meeting to commemorate Good Friday was held in the Mandarin congregation and the Cantonese congregation respectively. Twenty people participated in the Mandarin congregation meeting on the Saturday before Good Friday, and 26 people participated in the Cantonese congregation meeting on the night of Good Friday. The theme of the meeting for both congregations is the same "Seven Words from the Cross", in which the congregation rethink the Lord's sacrifice and great love on the cross.
The church held joint worship service on May 1[st] , celebrating the 25[th] anniversary of the church. The joint worship lets the congregations in the morning and afternoon services to worship together, and after the worship, brothers and sisters in the two congregations get to know and communicate with each other.
To let believers in the two congregations get to know each other better, a whole church trip was held at Jesus Green in Cambridge at the end of August. A total of more than 80 people participated, more than 50 people from the Cantonese congregation and 30 people from the Mandarin congregation. In the morning, there are hymns and group games. During the games, the brothers and sisters of the two churches are mixed together. At noon, there is a picnic on the grass. In the afternoon, there are free activities in the park to promote mutual understanding. Thank the Lord for the beautiful weather that day, brothers and sisters had a wonderful time to

get together.
English worship was suspended in February. The main reason was the leaving of serving co-workers. Some co-workers moved out of Cambridge. Although English worship was suspended, the English Light Fellowship continued. Pray that the church can continue to serve these young people to grow up in our Lord. Pray and ask the Lord to prepare co-workers according to His will and time, so that English worship can be resumed when the time comes.
Thank God, the families from Hong Kong continued to grow. They participated in the gatherings of the Canaan group. Very grateful that they have gradually increased their sense of belonging in the church. They expressed that they felt the love of brothers and sisters in the church.
Beginning in July, some brothers and sisters helped to clean the church on Fridays, so that the church could provide a better environment for the congregation to participate in worship and gatherings.
With the pandemic under control, more and more brothers and sisters returned to church to worship, and various groups also actively arranged physical activities to encourage brothers and sisters to have face-to-face communication and better help each other.
Looking back 2022, God is full of grace, leading the Cambridge Chinese Christian Church to get over a year full of challenges. Looking forward to 2023, the theme of the church: “live out love”, let us live out the love of the Lord, and spread the gospel to relatives, friends and neighbours around us.
