This is the day which the LORD hath made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. (Psalm 118:24)
Hallelujah! The 45th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service of the Christian Ministry to Visually Impaired Persons CMVIP) was held on 16 November at Chinese Rhenish Church Kowloon. Thank you all for attending the service and for joining us in praising the Lord. The Thanksgiving Service was officiated by Rev. Kwok Chiu-nam, member of the Executive Committee, Rev. Lau Wing-chuen preached the sermon, and a group of young people who love music led the worship, while the Cantata choir sang the hymns. Pastor Lau encouraged us to be thankful in everything, to follow the exemplary of our predecessors, and to dedicate our lives to work for the Lord with love.
CMVIP will hold a zoom on line Advent Meditation on 23 December. This time, we have invited Dr. Lau Po Chu Anna , the spiritual director of Bethel Bible Seminary, to share with us. May God use the preparation of the leaders to enable us to think about the Lord’s birth and salvation.
