欢迎参加今年的同工退休会！感谢神信实地带领。在不同中，我们彼此补足，实践神托付的使命，彰显上帝的能力和荣美。
神创造了不同的人，赐下不同的语言、不同的文化、不同的恩赐，却呼召我们成为同一个身体。退休会期间，我们将借着敬拜、食物、故事、游戏和团契，增进认识、彼此欣赏、彼此服事，共同经历神在我们教会中的工作，继续一起走向神托付我们的使命。
食物不仅满足身体，更承载着文化、家庭和爱的记忆。每一道菜肴都代表着一个群体的故事，也彰显神丰富的创造和恩典。当我们彼此分享食物时，我们也在学习彼此接纳、欣赏与服事。特别是在餐桌上，鼓励来自不同语言背景的弟兄姊妹打破原有的小圈子，彼此坐在一起，用心倾听、交流和认识对方。圣经中，餐桌常常成为团契与接纳的地方；当我们在同一张桌子上共享食物时，我们不仅是在分享生活，更是在见证基督里的合一。虽然我们有不同的语言、文化和背景，但因着耶稣基督，我们成为一个身体，一同经历神家的温暖与喜乐。
天堂里的敬拜，是万国、万民、万族、万方一同敬拜羔羊。当我们用不同语言唱诗，我们不是分开，而是在预尝天国的敬拜。

## Washed by Grace & Praise
### Testimony - Will
Peace be with you, brothers and sisters, I am Will, and today I want to share my baptism testimony.
I grew up in a Christian family. Since I was the very first second-generation child born in our church, the entire church nurtured and pastored me as if I were Samuel.
From a young age, my parents brought me along to serve God in the church. In addition to regular small group meetings and Sunday services, they also brought me to participate in worship training, discipleship training, visitations, camps, and various gospel outreach activities.
Growing up in such an environment, I naturally accepted that Jesus is the God of our family, the God who reigns.
I remember very clearly that during my kindergarten years, I often had nightmares, would wake up crying in the middle of the night, and couldn't sleep well. Because of this, my mother regularly led us in bedtime prayers using "The Lord's Prayer." She also led me through the "Lord Reign" prayer and told me that the Jesus we believe in is a God who stays awake 24 hours a day, never sleeping nor slumbering. Even when I am asleep, Jesus watches over me, protects my heart and mind, and drives away all disturbances from the evil enemy on my behalf.
When I started praying the "Lord Reign" prayer out loud by myself before sleeping, amazingly, I gradually stopped having nightmares.
Therefore, when I was in first grade, my Sunday school teacher asked me if I was willing to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of my life. I decided without hesitation to be baptized and become a child of Jesus, because I had truly and tangibly experienced that Jesus is the God who grants peace.
Throughout elementary school, whenever I faced various big and small exams and felt nervous looking at the test papers, praying to God in my heart would bring immediate peace. He would remove my feelings of restlessness and anxiety in that moment, allowing me to focus on answering the test questions.
Thus, I truly experienced that Jesus is the God who listens to my prayers, and the God who gives me strength and help.
Therefore, I want to encourage all the teens preparing for baptism today: I pray that you will trust God greatly and experience Him deeply.
Let us prepare our hearts together and use the song "Washed" to declare that Jesus is our Savior, our joy, and our ever-present help in times of trouble.
### Washed - Presented by Youth
I've been washed in the water,
washed in the blood
I'm as good as new, oh, hallelujah
I've been washed in the water,

It's not what I have done
But what You've done for me
You paid it all upon that tree
Oh, hallelujah
I'm clean
Your love has overcome

I'm dancin' in Your victory
Oh, hallelujah
I've been washed in the water,
washed in the blood
I'm as good as new, oh, hallelujah
I've been washed in the water,
washed in the blood
All because of You (oh, hallelujah)

And You nailed it to the cross
You got me runnin' out the grave
Oh hallelujah, here I come

Hallelujah, here I come
Hallelujah, here I come
Hallelujah, here I come
Hallelujah, here I come

Bound Together in Love & Prayer
### Testimony - Catherine
Good evening, everyone.
As I reflect on the past year, I am truly grateful for God's abundant grace among us, especially through the Five Loaves and Two Fish ministry in our Mandarin congregation. Together, pastors, ministry leaders, and volunteers have served with one heart and one mind, and we have witnessed God's wonderful work in our midst.
Many friends have come to know the gospel through these programs and activities. Some have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, while others have continued to grow in their faith and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word. For all of this, we give thanks to God.
We are especially grateful that, over the past year, Xiaoying's parents and several new brothers and sisters have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. These are beautiful testimonies of God's grace and work among us.
In addition, since Tim and Lisa joined us, a parent-child group has been added to the Five Loaves and Two Fish ministry. We have seen God's blessing upon this new initiative as more families have become involved and experienced His love and guidance. We thank God for continuing to expand His work and for allowing us to participate in it.
Because of time limitations, I will not go into all the details of the ministry over the past year. A few days ago, we had the opportunity to reflect together on everything God has done through the ministry, and we were greatly encouraged to see how God has been leading us. We are also thankful for the faithful service and dedication of so many brothers and sisters who have willingly given their time and energy.
Beyond the ministry itself, I would like to share a little about fellowship and the importance of building one another up as a spiritual family. I believe that one of the most important characteristics of a healthy Christian community is trust. In an environment where there is love, acceptance, and trust, we are able to share our weaknesses and struggles openly and pray for one another. God often uses this process to renew and transform our lives.
This truth became very real to me recently.
At the beginning of August, my mother fell in her room. By God's grace, she was protected from serious injury. She suffered only a minor bump on her head, with no broken bones, although there was some soft tissue damage. While her physical condition was not severe, it was still a difficult season for me personally.
Earlier this year, our family had already gone through a challenging period as Hua Bing became seriously ill. Then, in May, Hua Bing's sister passed away, and we had to travel back to China. Shortly afterward, my mother's fall required additional care and attention. Along with other responsibilities and pressures, I found myself emotionally and physically exhausted. At times, I felt overwhelmed by the weight of everything I was carrying.
During a prayer meeting, I shared honestly about these struggles. I am deeply thankful that God has provided such a trustworthy prayer community. The pastors and brothers and sisters prayed faithfully for me, and the very next day some of them even came to visit my mother. Their care, encouragement, and practical support meant so much to us.
Their support was not only practical but also an immense source of emotional and spiritual strength. Through their love and care, God renewed me and reminded me once again to bring my burdens to Him. Gradually, I began to experience restoration and renewed strength in my spirit.
For that, I am truly thankful to God.
This experience has helped me appreciate even more that fellowship is not only about serving and gathering together. It is also about walking alongside one another, bearing one another's burdens, praying for one another, and supporting one another. When one person is weak, others can come alongside and help. When God blesses one person, we can all rejoice together.
May God continue to lead our fellowship, helping us to build one another up in love and grow together in Christ. And may He use our lives and our ministry to help more seekers come to know the Lord and accept Him as their Savior.
Thank you.
### Goodness of God
I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God
**Chorus**
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
**Verse 2**
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest nights
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
**Bridge**
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now, I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
### You Are Our God
The heavens declare Your glory
The skies proclaim the work of Your hands
With Open Hands, You satisfy us
All words confess, You are the mighty God.
You're our God, Seated on the throne.
Robed in glory and power, We worship you.
Almighty God, We exalt your name.
All the honor and power and praise, belongs to you.
When you spoke, It came to be.
By your word, You breathed new life.
All creatures sing, Hallelujah, holy, holy, holy!
You're our God, Seated on the throne.
Robed in glory and power, We worship you.
Almighty God, We exalt your name.
All the honor and power and praise, belongs to you.
All the honor and power and praise, belongs to you.

### The Lily of the Valley
I have found a friend in Jesus, 3He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The "Lily of the Valley," in Him alone I see,
all I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay,
He tells me every care on Him to roll;
He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,"
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne,
in temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
### Still
**VERSE 1**
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
**CHORUS**
When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
I will be still and know
You are God
**VERSE 2**
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
**CHORUS**
When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
I will be still and know
You are God

## Next Generation
### Testimony - Thian-peng
Good evening, brothers and sisters. Our retreat theme is Members of One Body. I want to share about leading the 5L2F Upper Class, children roughly eight to twelve.
At first, 5L2F had one children's group spanning many ages. Older kids got bored when material was too easy, stopped listening, and younger kids followed. I had never planned to serve in children's ministry. I was confident in administration and adult study groups, but had little experience beyond my own children. But there were too few leaders for newly arrived children, some unfamiliar with church and some having received little love. Caring for them would help parents come. I did not know how to teach, but I was willing to talk with them and know them. So I said yes.
I am excited when children share their struggles and pain. When they open up, I see an opportunity for God to heal them. When a distracted child gives a reasonable answer, I know they were listening.
A highlight was partnering with high school students. I walked with David, now at university, helping him grow in faith and service and stay engaged. Seeing him grow motivated me to keep serving. Companionship is more than doing a job.
There are low lights. Newly arrived children do not always listen or attend consistently, and sometimes hurt one another with words. I have asked, “Why am I here? Should these children go somewhere else?” But they could miss the chance to know God. My high school students have left for university, and I have no new helpers. I am looking, because the children need love and I can only offer so much.
God is teaching me patience as I watch them grow, and humility when I think my time belongs elsewhere. Seeing the next generation refocuses me. I am thankful for our brothers and sisters’ prayers, encouragement, and acknowledgement of these challenges, and for parents willing to let their children work with me.
My vision is that these children know Jesus, love Scripture, and feel they belong to the church. I hope high school students learn to lead and take responsibility. Please pray the children develop a desire to come to church greater than their parents’ desire, and high school leaders lead more and create interaction with younger children. Most of all, pray that 5L2F forms young disciples who know they are members of Christ’s body. Thank you.

## 洗净于恩典：见证与赞美
### 见证：Will
弟兄姊妹们平安
我是Will, 今天我要分享我的受洗见证.
我是在基督徒的家庭长大的, 由于我是教会第一个出生的第二代,所以教会全体上下都把我当做撒母耳的方式来牧养我。
从小，父母就带着我在教会服事神, 除了固定的小组聚会, 和主日. 我的父母也带着我一起参与敬拜训练, 门徒训练, 探访,营会和各样的福音外展活动.
在这样的环境下成长,我自然的接受耶稣是我们家的神,是掌权的神。
我非常记得，在我幼儿园时期常常容易做噩梦, 半夜会哭醒, 睡不好。因为这个缘故，妈妈固定带我们用 “主祷文” 来做睡前的祷告，她还带领我做 “主掌权” 的祷告，并且告诉我，我们所信的耶稣是24小时，不睡觉也不打盹的神，就算我在睡觉，耶稣也会看顾我，保护我的心灵，神会为我赶走一切恶者仇敌的搅扰。
当我睡前开始自己开口做主掌权的祷告，很神奇，我渐渐就不再做噩梦了。
因此在我小学一年级的时候，主日学老师问我，愿不愿意让耶稣做我生命的主和救主，我毫不犹豫地决定要受洗成为耶稣的儿女，因为我实实在在地经历到，耶稣是赐平安的神。
在上 elementary 的过程，有各样的大考和小考，每次我面对着考卷，我心里就会很紧张，但当我在内心向神祷告，神真的立刻赐下平安，移除我当下的不安、焦虑的感觉，让我可以专注考试答题。
所以我真实经历到，耶稣是垂听我祷告的神，是赐我力量和帮助的神。
因此，我在这里想要鼓励预备受洗的Teens，祝福你们大大地信靠神，经历神。
让我们一起预备心，用这首诗歌 “Washed” 来宣告耶稣是我们的救主，是我们的喜乐，是我们拉在患难中随时地帮助。
### Washed
### 一切歌颂赞美
一切歌颂赞美，都归我主我的神，
你是配得歌颂与赞美，哦哦哦哦!
我们高声呼喊，高举耶稣圣名，哈利路亚！
赞美主，哈利路亚！哦！赞美主，哈利路亚，哈利路亚，哦哦哦哦！
赞美主，哈利路亚！哦！赞美主，哈利路亚，哈利路亚！
### 我神真伟大
尊贵荣耀君王 在全地上
愿万民都喜乐 全地都喜乐
主你满有荣光 黑暗都躲藏
万民高声唱 齐来高声唱
我神 真伟大
歌颂你圣名 真伟大
全地都看见 我神 真伟大
昔在永在君王 从今直到永远
你从不曾改变 永存在天地间
你是三一真神 父子与圣灵
真神的羔羊 全能神羔羊
你至圣尊名 配受大赞美
全心歌颂 我神 真伟大

## 爱与祷告中的相连
### 见证：Catherine
大家晚上好！
回顾过去这一年，我们国语堂，特别是在“五饼二鱼”事工当中，众弟兄、牧者和同工们同心合意地服事神，也亲眼看见神丰丰富富的恩典运行在我们中间。许多朋友透过这些聚会和活动认识了福音，有人接受了主耶稣基督作为个人的救主，也有人在信仰上不断成长，对神的话语有了更深的认识和追求。为着这一切，我们都向神献上感恩。
特别感谢神，在过去一年里，小英的父母以及几位新的弟兄姐妹都接受了主耶稣基督为个人救主。这些都是神恩典和作为的美好见证。
另外，自从 Tim 和 Lisa 来到我们当中之后，“五饼二鱼”事工又增设了亲子小组。我们也看见神大大祝福这个事工，让更多家庭能够参与其中，经历神的爱和带领。感谢神不断扩展祂的工作，也让我们有机会参与在其中。
因为时间关系，我就不一一分享过去一年“五饼二鱼”事工中的点点滴滴了。前几天我们在群里也有很多讨论和回顾，看见神在这一年的带领，看到弟兄姐妹甘心乐意、尽心尽力地摆上，我们心里都充满感恩。
除了事工本身，我也想分享一点关于团契生活和团队建立的感受。我觉得，一个健康的属灵群体很重要的一点，就是能够建立彼此信任的关系。在这样一个充满爱和接纳的氛围里，我们愿意分享自己的软弱和挣扎，也愿意彼此代祷。神常常借着这样的过程来更新我们的生命。
这也是我最近亲身经历的一件事。
大约八月初的时候，我母亲在房间里跌倒了。感谢神的保守，她只是头部轻微碰撞，起了一个小包，没有伤及骨头，只是软组织有一些损伤。虽然身体上没有大碍，但那段时间对我来说却是一个比较艰难的时期。
尤其是在经历了华冰病重的过程，以及今年五月华冰姐姐离世、我们赶回中国处理后续事情之后，又遇到母亲跌倒需要照顾。在照顾她的过程中，再加上一些其他的压力，我觉得自己无论是情绪上还是体力上，都非常疲惫，有一种筋疲力尽、被重担压着的感觉。
后来在祷告会上，我把自己内心的挣扎和压力向大家分享出来。非常感谢神赐给我这样一个值得信任的祷告群体。牧者和弟兄姐妹听到之后，不但为我恳切祷告，第二天还有牧者和弟兄姐妹特意来看望我的母亲，给了我们很多关心和鼓励。
这些支持不仅仅是实际行动上的帮助，更给了我很大的心理安慰和属灵扶持。在这个过程中，神也借着弟兄姐妹的爱来更新我的生命，让我再次学会把自己的重担交托给主。慢慢地，我感受到自己在灵里得到恢复，重新得着力量和平安。
因此，我真的非常感谢神。
我也更加体会到，团契的意义不仅仅是一起服事、一起聚会，更是彼此陪伴、彼此担当重担、彼此代祷、彼此扶持。当一个人软弱的时候，其他人能够伸出手来帮助他；当神祝福一个人的时候，大家也能够一同欢喜快乐。
愿神继续带领我们的团契，让我们在爱中彼此建立，在主里一同成长，也让更多慕道朋友透过我们的生命和服事认识主、接受主。
谢谢大家
### 神的良善荣美 / Goodness of God
我爱你，主

各位弟兄姐妹，晚上好。我们这次退修会的主题是“同为一个身体”。我想分享神借着带领五饼二鱼高年级组，在我身上的教导。这些孩子大约八到十二岁。
刚开始时，五饼二鱼只有一个年龄跨度很大的儿童小组。大孩子觉得教材太容易，有时会感到无聊，不听课，小孩子也跟着他们学。我从来没有想过要参与儿童事工。我比较有把握的是行政和成人查经，除了带自己的孩子以外，几乎没有教孩子的经验。但当时同工不够，面对的是一些刚来的移民孩子；有些孩子不熟悉教会，也曾经得到很少的关爱。我知道，如果孩子有人照顾，父母会更愿意来教会。我不会教，但愿意和孩子说话、认识他们，所以我答应了。
让我兴奋的是，孩子们愿意分享自己的挣扎和痛苦。他们敞开时，我看见这是神医治他们的机会。有时他们看起来没有注意听，但如果能合理回答问题，我就知道他们其实听进去了。
一个亮点是和高中生一起服事。我曾陪伴David，他现在已经去上大学；我帮助他在信仰和服事上成长，也帮助他继续投入。这让我看见，当我能陪伴一个人成长时，就更有动力在这个领域服事。我也学到，陪伴一个人不只是把工作做完。
低谷也很多。这些刚来的孩子不一定愿意听，也不一定每周来，有时还会用伤人的话彼此伤害。我曾问自己：“我为什么在这里？这些孩子是不是应该去别的地方？”但我又想到，如果没有这个机会，他们可能会错过认识神的机会。现在高中生已经离开去上大学，我没有新的协助者。我正在寻找同工，因为孩子们需要被爱，而我一个人能给的很有限。
神在教我对孩子有忍耐，也教我谦卑：当我觉得自己的时间可以用在别的地方时，仍然学习怎样和他们一起服事。当我把他们看作下一代，神就重新调整我的方向。我很感谢弟兄姐妹的祷告、鼓励，以及对这些挑战的理解；也感谢父母愿意让孩子参与，并让我陪伴他们。
我的盼望是，这些孩子认识耶稣、喜爱圣经，并感到自己属于教会。我盼望高中生学习带领，承担更大的责任。请为孩子们祷告，求他们自己产生来教会的渴慕，甚至超过父母希望他们来教会的心；也求高中生更多承担带领，创造和年幼孩子互动的机会。最重要的是，求神让五饼二鱼培育年轻门徒，使他们知道自己是基督身体的一部分。谢谢大家。

從小，父母就帶著我在教會服事神, 除了固定的小組聚會, 和主日. 我的父母也帶著我一起參與敬拜訓練, 門徒訓練, 探訪,營會和各樣的福音外展活動.
在這樣的環境下成長,我自然的接受耶穌是我們家的神,是掌權的神。
我非常記得，在我幼兒園時期常常容易做惡夢, 半夜會哭醒, 睡不好。因為這個緣故，媽媽固定帶我們用 “主禱文” 來做睡前的禱告，她還帶領我做 “主掌權” 的禱告，並且告訴我，我們所信的耶穌是24小時，不睡覺也不打頓的神，就算我在睡覺，耶穌會也看顧我，保護我的心靈，神會為我趕走一切惡者仇敵的攪擾。
當我睡前開始自己開口做主掌權的禱告，很神奇，我漸漸就不再作惡夢了。
因此在我小學一年級的時候，主日學老師問我，願不願意讓耶穌做我生命的主和救主，我毫不猶豫地決定要受洗成為耶穌的兒女，因為我實實在在的經歷到，耶穌是賜平安的神。
在上小學的過程，有各樣的大考和小考，每次我面對著考卷，我心裡就會很緊張，但當我在內心向神禱告，神真的立刻賜下平安，移除我當下的不安、焦慮的感覺，讓我可以專注考試答題。
所以我真實經歷到，耶穌是垂聽我禱告的神，是賜我力量和幫助的神。
因此，我在這裡想要鼓勵預備受洗的Teens，祝福你們大大的信靠神，經歷神。
讓我們一起預備心，用這首詩歌 “Washed” 來宣告耶穌是我們的救主，是我們的喜樂，是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。

各位弟兄姐妹，晚上好。我們這次退修會的主題是「同為一個身體」。我想分享神藉著帶領五餅二魚高年級組，在我身上的教導。這些孩子大約八到十二歲。
剛開始時，五餅二魚只有一個年齡跨度很大的兒童小組。大孩子覺得教材太容易，有時會感到無聊，不聽課，小孩子也跟著他們學。我從來沒有想過要參與兒童事工。我比較有把握的是行政和成人查經，除了帶自己的孩子以外，幾乎沒有教孩子的經驗。但當時同工不夠，面對的是一些剛來的移民孩子；有些孩子不熟悉教會，也曾經得到很少的關愛。我知道，如果孩子有人照顧，父母會更願意來教會。我不會教，但願意和孩子說話、認識他們，所以我答應了。
讓我興奮的是，孩子們願意分享自己的掙扎和痛苦。他們敞開時，我看見這是神醫治他們的機會。有時他們看起來沒有注意聽，但如果能合理回答問題，我就知道他們其實聽進去了。
一個亮點是和高中生一起服事。我曾陪伴David，他現在已經去上大學；我幫助他在信仰和服事上成長，也幫助他繼續投入。這讓我看見，當我能陪伴一個人成長時，就更有動力在這個領域服事。我也學到，陪伴一個人不只是把工作做完。
低谷也很多。這些剛來的孩子不一定願意聽，也不一定每週來，有時還會用傷人的話彼此傷害。我曾問自己：「我為什麼在這裡？這些孩子是不是應該去別的地方？」但我又想到，如果沒有這個機會，他們可能會錯過認識神的機會。現在高中生已經離開去上大學，我沒有新的協助者。我正在尋找同工，因為孩子們需要被愛，而我一個人能給的很有限。
神在教我對孩子有忍耐，也教我謙卑：當我覺得自己的時間可以用在別的地方時，仍然學習怎樣和他們一起服事。當我把他們看作下一代，神就重新調整我的方向。我很感謝弟兄姐妹的禱告、鼓勵，以及對這些挑戰的理解；也感謝父母願意讓孩子參與，並讓我陪伴他們。
我的盼望是，這些孩子認識耶穌、喜愛聖經，並感到自己屬於教會。我盼望高中生學習帶領，承擔更大的責任。請為孩子們禱告，求他們自己產生來教會的渴慕，甚至超過父母希望他們來教會的心；也求高中生更多承擔帶領，創造和年幼孩子互動的機會。最重要的是，求神讓五餅二魚培育年輕門徒，使他們知道自己是基督身體的一部分。謝謝大家。
