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_ 4 ## _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._ 5 ## 兒童事工 **-** 劉孫芳芳姊妹 一月至八月 早上 - 和平班 - 幼兒 - 小二 , 出席學生每周約 3 人。由 3 位老師負責教導小孩子。 望班 - 小三至小五 , 出席學生每周約 6 至 8 人 , 由 3 位老師負責教導小孩子。 信班 : 小六至初中 - 出席學生每周約 11-13 人，由 2 位老師負責教導小孩子。 下午 - 愛班 : 小四至小六 , 出席學生每周約 6 至 8 人。 3 位老師負責教導小孩子。 喜樂班 : 小二至小三 , 出席學生每周約 6 至 8 人。 3 位老師負責教導小孩子。 ## 九月至十二月 九月份起小六至中二學生參與信班兒童主日學 , 而中三至中六參與以馬內利青 少年團契 . 青少年每月參加兩次崇拜及崇拜後的討論，每月兩次團契活動。第 五周參與戶外的崇拜及活動。 早上 : 和平班 : 幼兒 至小二學生，出席學生每周約 3 人。由 3 位老師負責教導小孩子。 望班 : 小三至小五學生 - 出席學生每周約 4 人， 2 位老師。 信班 : 小六至初中二學生 , 出席學生每周約 8 人， 1 位老師。 以馬內利青少年團契 : 中三至中六，出席每周人數約 4 至 5 人， 2 位導師。 下午 : 喜班 : 小二至小三，出席學生每周 2-3 人， 3 位老師。 愛班 : 小四至小六 ,- 出席學生每周約 5-7 人， 3 位老師。 ## January to August: AM: Class Hope, yr2 to yr5 students, 6-8 regular attendances. 3 teachers, Class Faith, yr6 to 10 students. 11-13 regular attendances. 2 teachers.
