Minutes of discussion on Sunday 10th June 2007討論會的紀錄

- We should demonstrate our youth and zeal by having some kind of activities. We could even join with the YWAM outreach teams for outreaches. We could also train some people in our churches in some simple performances to do outside.

- 我們應該利用一些活動來表現出我們的活力。例如參加一些青年使命團短宣隊的宣教活動、甚至是訓練教會的成員來做一些戶外表演之類的。

- Not many people attended the Mackay performance. It was good that there were a lot of YWAMer's there. We should be more organized and prepare earlier if we have an opportunity.

- 馬偕日當天有蠻多人沒去參加。雖然如此，還是有很多的青年使命團的代表參加。如果下次有機會參加這類型的活動時，其實可以儘早籌備及準備。

- We could go to hospitals etc for outreaches.

- 教會可以到醫院去做服事。

- We should use transparencies for worship.

- 敬拜的時候可以利用投影片。

- Should have some kind of translation organized for foreigners during the intercession time after we break up into groups. Don explained why we didn't have translation during the meetings and that we want locals to feel comfortable and not have to serve foreigners with translation. He explained that if foreigners are learning Chinese and have a burden for the church they are welcome to come as long as they do not expect translation. If they are not part of the church and they want to bring someone to our church they can introduce them and then don't need to come again.

- 應該在代禱的時候提供在場的外國人翻譯。Don解釋說為了要讓本地人覺得自在，所以不需要為外國人翻譯。外國人如果在學習中文，對教會有負擔的話，並且了解不會有人為他們翻譯的情形下，教會很歡迎他們的參與。如果他們不是參加這個教會但想要帶新朋友來教會，他們可以把新朋友介紹到教會來就可以了。

- We should have some kind of a welcome form that we can give to new people when they attend out church. We could get their names, e-mail address and phone number.

- 教會應該有一張歡迎單張，用來留下新朋友的資料。

- If we were going to do this we should have someone responsible to do this each week. Others thought it should be a form in The Rock but everyone is responsible to give it out not just one person.

- 如果要有歡迎單張，教會應該每個禮拜輪流負責發。一部分覺得應該是放在教會某處的表格，但是應該是每位成員的責任，而不是一個人的工作。

- We need to pay more attention to new people that come and not just hang out with the people that we know well.

- 我們應該更積極的認識新朋友，而不是只跟自己熟的人聊天。

- Maybe we could have a couple/s bible study called a book club that would be led by a couple like Zalau and Brenda.

- 教會可以有夫妻查經班(不一定只有基督徒參加，而且可以叫做讀書班)，可以請教會的夫妻同工，例如Zalau跟Brenda來帶。

- Discussed whether or not The Rock should be the only place for ministry. Everyone seemed to agree that ministry is not limited to The Rock, but it was still a very important place and most of the believers in the Church have come to the Lord through English classes.

- 討論時有提出咖啡館是不是唯一可以服事的地方。大家都同意事工不應該只侷限於咖啡館，但是重點是教會的很多成員都是因為來咖啡館學習英文才認識耶穌和來教會的。

- Discussed church members working together with the English teachers to make friends and bring people to the Lord. People said they are tired after work, but we agreed that the English teachers are tired too, but still show up and it is a decision that we need to make for the sake of the lost.

- 教會的成員也可以跟英文班的老師配合，認識英文班裡面的學生，把福音帶給他們。雖然我們下班後會累，但是英文班老師也是全職同工也會累，但是他們還是來教英文。所以這應該是一個為了找回迷失的羊而做的選擇。

- There was a question on who can make decisions and be a spiritual covering. Don said that he would deal with any big problems and big decisions. For smaller problems and personal struggles the Church has a number of mature Christians like Virginia, Francis, Brenda, Sandra as well as a number of other YWAM staff that are available to help out the girls.

- 關於誰來為教會做決定及屬靈遮蓋。Don說如果有很重要的事情或抉擇的時候都可以找他。如果是一些小問題或個人掙扎，教會有許多成熟的基督徒，像繁桂，Francis, Brenda, Sandra 和很多青年使命團的同工可以來協助及幫助女生們。

- We recognized that there are a lack of guys in the church and staff that can help out. We realized the need to evangelize more men!

- 以上重點讓我們了解教會缺乏男生及可以協助的同工。我們需要跟多來把福音傳給男士。

- There were questions about the website and taping the meetings. It seemed people did not think it was worth the effort to type out all of the messages as it is a lot of work and we did not know how many people would use it. The message board is slow now but we thought as people became more used to going to the site it would become more popular.

- 有關於教會網站及分享時的錄音。大部分覺得因為太費時費力了，所以不需要將錄音打成文字，而且也不知道多少人會使用到它。雖然現在網路上的流言板很少人使用，可能是因為不習慣。等大家都習慣上網使用的時候，就會發揮它的功效了。
