北堂全年有很多很好的主日学课程,有必修课和选修课,内容呈多样性,对弟兄姐妹们的灵命成长和造就非常有帮助。2024年北堂秋季主日学,我报名参加了《青春的契机》这门课程。一是因为这么课程得到青少年家长们的一致好评,受益匪浅;二是未雨绸缪。

耶利米团契的江淑琴姐妹是2021年圣诞节前,在亚特兰大华人基督教会北堂受洗归入主名的,不久患肺癌晚期,一直接受化疗。今年1月病情恶化,于1月16日走完了世上的路程,被主接去,享年65岁。

Throughout Scripture, families played a vital role in advancing God’s mission. From the patriarchs in the Old Testament to the early church in the New Testament, God often worked through family units to accomplish His redemptive purposes. One of the earliest examples is Noah’s family, who worked together in obedience to God’s command to build the ark, ensuring the preservation of life after the flood (Genesis 6:9-22)...

“他们唱了诗,就出来,往橄榄山去。” 这是马可在他的福音书中所记载的画面——那是耶稣在世上度过的最后一次逾越节晚餐。祂带着门徒们唱了诗歌,随后走出马可楼,踏上通往各各他的道路,迈向十字架。当时还是少年的马可应该是在场的目击者。这一幕必定在他心中留下了终身难忘的印象 ...
