2月10日會友與教會關懷

CONGREGATION & CHURCH CONCERNS for Feb 10, 2008:
(English)
1. We have entered the period in Lent. Lent reminds us the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness to make way for his ministry on earth. It also reminds us the 40 years the Israelites spent in the wilderness before they entered Canaan God’s promise land. We take this period to remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for us which makes our salvation possible.
