青少年事工

I hope you all had a wonderful time with your families over the Thanksgiving holiday. We are grateful that the youth had a great experience at the winter retreat. I’ve heard some of them say, “Good message, good food, and good facility!” The only downside they mentioned was that it felt a bit short. It was exciting to hear their enthusiasm, and we are thankful that God continues to bless their journey and strengthen their faith.

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the dedicated parent volunteers who have generously given their time and effort to support our youth program. Whether it is assisting with Friday snacks, helping with events/potlucks, or translating our monthly newsletters, your kindness and commitment mean so much to us. We truly appreciate your care and willingness to serve, even when your efforts may go unnoticed.

The dedication and care of our counselors have been very helpful in supporting the emotional well-being and nurturing the spiritual growth of our youth. The time, effort, and love they have invested have made a meaningful difference. As we approach the holiday season, we encourage you to take a moment to thank your child’s counselor for all they have done. Even a simple “Thank you” can go a long way in expressing your appreciation for their support and guidance.

Please take a moment to read the attached December Newsletter from Elanor. A special thank you to Wenhua (Lucia’s dad) for translating it into Chinese to ensure it is accessible to all our families. We hope you find the information helpful and informative.

May we serve the Lord with the Holy Spirit and in truth, pleasing Him and bringing glory to His name. Wishing you and your family a blessed and Merry Christmas in advance!

亲爱的青少年家长,

希望大家在感恩节假期期间与家人共度了美好的时光。我们非常感激青少年们在冬令会中度过了充实的经历。我听到他们中有些人说：“好信息，好食物，好地方！”他们唯一提到的不足之处是时间稍显短暂。听到他们如此兴奋，我们感到非常振奋，也感谢上帝继续祝福他们的旅程，并坚固他们的信心。

我们还要衷心感谢所有为我们的青少年慷慨奉献时间和精力的家长志愿者们。无论是协助提供周五的点心、帮助青少年活动/家庭聚餐，还是翻译我们的月度通讯，您们的爱心和付出对我们来说意义重大。我们真心感激您的关心和愿意为青少年摆上的心，即使您的付出可能并未被注意到。

我们辅导员的奉献和关爱在支持青少年的情感和培养他们的属灵成长方面发挥了重要作用。他们投入的时间、精力和爱心有很大的影响。随着假期的临近，我们鼓励您抽出时间感谢您孩子的辅导员为他们所做的一切。即使一句简单的“谢谢”也能表达您对他们支持和引导的深深感激。

请花一点时间阅读附上Elanor的12月通讯。感谢文华（露西亚的爸爸）翻译成中文通訊。我们希望其中的訊息對您了解青少年的事工有帮助。

愿我们以圣灵和真理事奉主，为主喜悅，并荣耀祂的名。提前祝您和您的家人圣诞节快乐，蒙福！
