Christmas is just round the corner and 2023 is less than one month away. Have you made any plans for the coming year? Please mark your calendar for Sunday June 11, 2023, as it is a very special day for CPC.

It will be our church’s 130th Anniversary next year. It is a joyous occasion when we reflect and give thanks to God for His faithfulness to CPC. It is also a time for us to reunite and celebrate with brothers and sisters who attended CPC in the past. The celebration will include an afternoon service on June 11 at a concert hall at Chatswood followed, by dinner at a nearby restaurant.

There will be much for us to be thankful for throughout the long history of CPC especially in the way that God has carried us through the last few years, with the prevalence of the Covid pandemic. God has been faithful to us at CPC in order that we may fulfill His will and purposes for us and others whom we are called to serve. Therefore, the Lord will be glorified.

Just to share some highlights of the 100th Church Anniversary 30 years ago: more than 1700 people gathered at Town Hall; celebration banquets at two Chinese restaurants in Chinatown; a church history book commemorating 100 years of CPC; a leather bookmark for all participants. Some of us still have fond memories of the anniversary and keep that bookmark.

Please speak with Agnes Chiu or me if you have any suggestions on how we may give thanks to God at the anniversary this time. Please also pray for the committees as we prepare and plan the program for the day.

聖誕節即將來臨了,距離2023年還有不到一個月的時間。你對明年有什麼計劃嗎?請在您的日曆上預留2023年6月11日,星期天。因為這對雪梨華人長老會來說是一個非常特別的日子。

明年將是教會的130週年堂慶。會是一個喜樂的時間去紀念並感謝神對雪梨華人長老會的信實。這也是我們與以往參加雪梨華人長老會的兄弟姐妹團聚的時間,大家一起歡慶。慶祝的活動包括6月11日在車士活的一個音樂廳舉行的下午堂慶崇拜,然後在附近的一家餐館用餐。

在雪梨華人長老會不短的歷史中,有很多值得感恩的地方,尤其是神如何帶領我們度過過去幾年疫情流行的日子。神對長老會一直信實,以致我們可為自己並蒙召服待的人完成神的旨意和目的。而神得榮耀。

分享一下30年前教會100週年堂慶的一些精髓:1700多人聚集在市政廳;在唐人街的兩家中餐館舉辦晚宴;紀念100週年的雪梨華人長老會歷史書;所有參與者收到的皮革書籤。我們當中的一些人對週年紀念有著美好的回憶,並保留著那個書籤。

如果您對我們這次的堂慶、怎樣感謝神有任何提建,請與丘林婉儀或我談一下。我們已開始準備和計劃當天的節目,請為委員會的工作祈禱。
