Advent 是将要来临的意思。
待降节(Advent)是让我们回想起两千多年前耶稣以婴孩的样式降生于世的时刻。
待降节(Advent)也是让耶稣现今以更有意义的方式进入我们的心中的时刻。
对于我们而言,待降节这段时间,可以看做是预备迎接圣诞的一段时间,而非只是一天的庆祝。在这时间当中,我们可以借着每周在教会当中点燃的烛光,耶稣降生的庆祝,以及上帝使用如同我们一般普通的人,来传讲的不同凡响的圣诞故事,预备我们迎接耶稣的降临。

传统上,待降节开始于圣诞节前的第四个周日 (通常都是感恩节后的那个的周日),并且每周都会有一个专注的主题。今年教会将采用【Walking with Jesus: Devotions for Advent & Christmas】为每日灵修材料。灵修书籍亚马逊书店链接

所选的四个主题如下:
12/3-9 盼望 Hope

12/10-16 平安 Peace

12/17-23 喜乐 Joy

12/24-25 爱 Love

诚挚地邀请并鼓励福音堂的各位家人们,一起来参加这个预备迎接圣诞的祷告灵修与改变的计划,让我们每天从读经、默想、灵修及祷告来与主同行,迎接圣诞并等候主的再来。

在每日清晨透过短视频与教会的牧师,跟着灵修进度一起灵修,让我们在这条静候圣诞,等候主再来的路上不觉孤单,因为我们正一起往前迎接主耶稣。

请大家保存待降节读经播放列表,打开CGCM YouTube频道通知,每天早晨6点会有新的读经视频发布。

Devotional Prayer Plan for CGCM Advent 2023
Advent means coming.
It is a time when we reflect on the moment in history when Jesus came into the word as a baby two thousand years ago.
It is also a time when we can allow Him to come into our hearts in more meaningful ways today.
For all of us, Advent could be a time of preparation which provides an opportunity to experience Christmas—the glow of the candles, the celebration of the birth, and the beauty of the story of God using ordinary people in extraordinary ways—for more than a day.

Traditionally, Advent begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas (usually right after Thanksgiving in November) and focuses on four themes. For this year, those themes are:

12/3-9 盼望Hope

12/10-16 平安Peace

12/17-23 喜乐Joy

12/24-25 爱Love

This year, we will adopt “Walking with Jesus: Devotions for Advent & Christmas” to be our devotional resource. In every morning, there is one pastor leading the devotion.

I invite and encourage all my brothers and sisters at CGCM to join this Advent devotional praying plan to read, mediate, pray and walk in Christ every day. Let us have a different Christmas this year and prepare to walk with the Lord in the new year.

Please save the playlist of Bible readings for the Advent and open the CGCM YouTube channel notification. New Bible reading videos will be released at 6am every morning.
