Church Building Project Q&A

問題一: 渥太華國語宣道會(以下用我們代表)擁有將來新堂建地的所有權嗎?
Q1. Will OMAC own the land the building is on?


回答一。 沒有,所有產業包括土地最終都在宣道會東區區會的名下。 但除非我們脫離宣道會,正常情況之下,我們有權利對自己的產業進行處理(買賣出售). 但目前計畫中在East Gate興建的新堂,將來在處理上可能會出現困難. 因為我們只有權利處理建築物本身,而土地則屬於East Gate Alliance Church (EGAC)管理. 除此之外,現有新堂設計是將我們的新堂藉由中央門廳與EGAC的現有建築連接.除非我們將來出售的對象也是教會團體, 只出售建築物本身(不含建地)幾乎不可行. 關於建地的使用,只要我們繼續我們的事工,EGAC 會允許我們使用.
A1. No, The title of the property including land is registered under the Eastern District.. Disposal of the building property in future will be an issue because OMAC does not own the land. Now the building is connected to EGAC via the lobby/foyer selling just the building part will be near impossible except to a church group. OMAC will be able to use the property as long as we continue our ministry there.

問題 二。 如果EGAC不再允許我們使用土地,我們怎麼辦?
Q2. If EGAC no longer permit us to use the land, what do we do?


回答二。 這種風險的可能性非常低,但仍然有可能。 正在起草中我們與EGAC的物業協議 , 將除去/降低這種風險。 作為ICAC的成員,如果我們和EGAC有衝突無法解決時,區會將介入協助調解。
A2. This risk is very low, but it is there. The property agreement that is being drafted will remove this risk/mitigate the risk. As member of the ICAC construct, District will get involved if EGAC and OMAC can not resolve

問題三。 什麼是ICAC?
Q3. What is ICAC?


回答三:ICAC代表International Community of Alliance Churches (宣道會教會國際社區) 目前它包括使用菲律賓語,阿拉伯語,西班牙語的教會. 國語宣道會使用漢語而我們將在近期加入。ICAC所有組成教會擁有獨立自主的身分並在財務上各自獨立。通過正式協議,在大家共同認為可以最有效推動的事工上,共享資源 。草擬中的事工和產業協議 , 就是要反映這樣的概念/模式
A3. ICAC stands for International Community of Alliance Churches (currently it has the Philippianal, the Arabic, the Spanish and with OMAC coming soon). All members retain their own identity and operate independently financially. Through formal agreements, sharing of resources will happen in ministry areas that are agreed upon and make sense in orderto maximize efficiency and effectiveness of God given resources. Ministry agreement and property agreement will be drafted to reflect this concept/model

問題四。 我們必須加入ICAC嗎?
Q4. Must we join ICAC?


回答四。 所有跡象表明 , 加上執事會到目前為止的看见, 我們會加入ICAC。 這是自願的。 執事會也傳達並且採取行動來表明我們正朝著這個方向努力。 如果加入ICAC需要會眾正式投票來認可,執事會將召開會友大會對此進行投票。
A4. All indications to date and the board see that we will. This is voluntary. This has been communicated and actions taken to show that we are heading into that direction, If we need the congregation to vote formally , we will.

問題五。 我們是否要與EGAC合併?
Q5. Are we going to merge with EGAC?


回答五: 不是. 我們並不是要與EGAC , 儘管這個”合併”這個詞出現在EGAC建堂計畫--問題與回答的部分. 我們將在最大限度上與EGAC合作但必須是我們會眾覺得合適的方法。 合作是 需要信心和信任的來自我們和EGAC。
A5. No we are not “merging’ in spite the use of this word in EGAC Q&A. We are going to collaborate with EGAC to the maximum extend possible and the congregation has to be comfortable with the approach. Even collaboration requires faith and trust between EGAC and OMAC.

問題六: 加入ICAC對OMAC意味著什麼?
Q6 What are the implications for OMAC by joining the ICAC ?


回答六:這意味著與其他ICAC成員在適當的情況下資源共享。 我們將成為一個更大家庭的成員。 詳情將通過制訂正式協議。
A6. The implications are resources sharing with other members of the ICAC. We will become a member of a bigger family. Details will be work out through formal agreements.

問題七。 如果在建立新堂後, 我們因種種原因財政上難以為繼,我們怎麼辦?
Q7. What if we can no longer operate OMAC (financially unsustainable)for whatever reason after a few years from moving in?


回答七。 我們需要對我們的建堂預算設置一個債務門檻( 即借貸金額). 如果建堂預算超過此一門檻 我們就不建堂。 建堂財務委員會將向執事會提出這樣的數據讓執事會可以據此作決定. 我們的目標應該是在惡劣的情況下承受最低的債務負擔。同樣 , 我們需要會友的承諾和來自長執良好的領導 , 以確保在我們搬入新堂後長期財務的可行性(visibility). 總之 ,我們要團結成為一家人來共同面對挑戰。
A7. We need to set a threshold for our debt (i.e. mortgage sum) above which we will not build. The financial committee will work this out what this level is and recommend to the board for decision. We should aim for the lowest debt load for the worse scenario. Again we need commitment from the members and good leadership to ensure long term financial viability of OMAC after moving in. In short we need to stick together as a family and face the challenge together.

問題八。 為什麼我們要與EGAC分攤污水系統及擴建大堂成本?
Q8. Why are we contributing to the sewage line cost and the foyer cost?


回答八。 我們同意分攤這個費用 , 因為我們將同樣受惠。 光是我們所使用的化糞池系統估計費用將大約介於75K和90K。 有很大的機會是市政府將要求EGAC擴大其目前的化糞池系統 , 以應付所有的需要。 如果我們現在不作,未來的化糞池的擴建將面臨許多困難.
至於我們分擔EGAC大堂擴建的費用 ,是因為我們可用以用占我們預算一小部分的成本但卻可以使用和EGAC一樣大的空間。 我們也希望藉此證明我們願意和EGAC共同實現一個這樣的異象: 一個一起分享資源, 去擴建神國超越渥太華這個地區的群體。
A8. We agree to cost share because we will be the benefactor. The estimated cost of a septic system to service OMAC alone will be between 75K and 90K. Chances are that the city will force EGAC to enlarge its current septic system. Future expansion will be problematic if not out right difficult and land use will be very restricted. We contribute to the Foyer expansion is because we will be using the space as much as EGAC at a small % of the total cost. We also wish to demonstrate that OMAC’s intend to partner with EGAC to realize the joint vision.—a community coming together to share their resources in advancing His kingdom in Ottawa and beyond. It is more blessed to give than to receive. We are not taking “ what is in it for us” approach but rather a more of a “Kingdom” view approach

問題9。 如果不包括使用EGAC的教室, 目前的設計不能滿足我們需要的。 我們是否有權利擴建?
Q9. Current design does not meet our need without using EGAC rooms. Do we have right to expand?


回答9。 目前的設計受到成本的約束。 不過,在設計的討論過程中, 通過協議, 我們已取得在10:30AM之前使用EGAC的教室 , 。 房間可以增加, 一旦將來足夠的資金到位後. 而現有的設計也預留未來的擴建的可能性。 大堂也可以作為教室使用在主日崇拜之前(現有設計包括兩個隔開的房間)
A9. The current design is cost constrained. However, we have secured the use of EGAC classrooms before 10:30 through the agreement and during the design discussion. Rooms can be added as funds become available in the future and expansion is built into the current design. The large foyer area can also be used prior to service time as classrooms (there are two curtained off rooms)

問題10。 一旦我們崇拜人數達到250人(現有設計大堂最大容量),我們會擴堂嗎?
Q10. What will OMAC do if we reached a 250 attendance on Sunday?


回答10。 我們讚美上帝 , 然後再另植一新堂。 但現在並不是一個問題。
A 10. We praise the Lord first and then plant another church. If is a none issue for now.

問題11。 為什麼我們要在EGAC現有的位置建堂?
Q11. Why are we building at EGAC location?


回答11。 a. 我們(執事會)認可ICAC異象/架構; b:這是一個不錯的選擇 , 這將有助於OMAC實現其5年的遠景和發展目標;c: 加入ICAC也將有助於OMAC實現其理想和目標。 最重要的是,執事會認為這是神的帶領和祂的時間。
A11. a. we subscribe the ICAC vision/construct; b. It is a good choice that will help OMAC to realize its 5 years vision & development goal; and c. Joining ICAC will also aid OMAC in achieving its vision and goals. Most importantly, the board senses it is God’s timing.

国语宣道会逾越节晚餐纪实




顾学斌弟兄4月2日,星期五晚上,渥太华国语宣道会为了纪念主耶稣的受难,举办了一个别开生面的《逾越节晚餐会》,近70 位弟兄姐妹和新朋友参加了晚餐会。为了筹备这次晚餐会,许多弟兄姐妹花费了大量的业余时间,按 照犹太人的传统准备了正宗的犹太人庆祝逾越节吃的食物,无酵饼,葡萄汁,鸡蛋,欧芹(parsley),鱼饼,肉卷等。

晚餐会还特别请来了犹太人出身的基督教宣教士Karl desouza, 他讲解了犹太人过逾越节的意义,仪式及各种食物代表的意义。无酵饼代表主耶稣的身体为世人的罪而破碎,葡萄汁代表主耶稣为洗净我们的罪而流的血,蛋和绿色蔬菜代表主耶稣给我们带来了新的生命和希望…..他带领大家享用了犹太人传统的逾越节晚餐。

圣经教导我们:你们要纪念这日,守为耶和华的节,作为你们世世代代永远的定例。《出埃及记12:14》。我们纪念这日,为的是记住主的救恩,时时警醒自己,用主耶稣的宝血洗净我们的罪,作一个名副其实的基督徒。


From the introduction of Passover Haggadah bookletThe Passover seder is an ancient ceremonial meal which can be traced back to the Exodus from Egypt. The seder ceremony is an object lesson; the items on the table, many of the foods eaten, all help to tell the story of the departure from Egypt. But within the symbolism of the modern Passover seder and within the Passover story lies a message of a greater redemption, redemption for all mankind found in Jesus the Messiah.

Penny Driving Project



from letter sent to parents from the OMAC Fundraising Committee:Each child is a blessing. We are very grateful for God's tremendous blessings to our church.

The children learn to love the Lord, God's word, the chuch and all people in our children's program. The little ones are dearly loved.

In our church fundraising project, we also would like to provide the opportunities for children to participate in the penny drive project.

Firstly, it is a way for children to practice offering as a gift to God. God appreciates each penny they give from their hearts.

Secondly, it is to show children they are contributing to our future new church building in a tangible way that can instil a strong sense of belongoing to the church.

Thirdly, children will learn what is consistent giving with a specific purpose.

We are promoting the penny drive project in the children's project. For parents who agree their child/children paritcipate in the project, they will take the church bank home by signing the constent form.

中文成人主日學 - 2010年第1季 (1-3月)


2010年第1 (1-3) 中文成人主日學

上課時間: 110 ~ 328, 每主日上午 10 ~ 11

(1) 新生命 (慕道課程)
教師: 吴飞弟兄等
課程簡介: 本課程将介绍基督教的基本信仰,內容包括:认识圣经,认识神,认识耶稣,认识重生得救和新生命
適合對象: 慕道友及初信的基督徒

(2) 旧约: 箴言

教師: 沈诸澄弟兄、胡干城弟兄、陈盈盈姐妹

課程簡介: 箴言書是屬於聖經智慧文學的其中一本充滿神對人啓示的書卷,全書共箴言書是屬於聖經智慧文學的其中一本充滿神對人啓示的書卷,全書共915箴言,都是言簡意賅的智慧格言,目的是要塑造敬虔的生活,建立有智慧的人生觀.我們將研究箴言書的文學風格,區別智慧格言的種類,然後在深入探討書中的內容和主題,譬如說話的智慧,交友的藝術,酗酒的惡果,紀律的特質,喜樂的良藥,愚昧的表現,還有嫉妒,爭競所造成的問題

適合對象: 慕道友及基督徒

(3) 新約: 罗马书

教師: 林克勝弟兄冯天雨弟兄
課程簡介: 羅馬是初世紀羅馬帝國的首都,集當時政治、經濟、文化之重心於一身,並且是傳揚福音的策略中心。使徒保羅寫信給住在羅馬的基督徒,表明他要前往該城的心願與廣傳福音的計劃,並說明神恩惠福音的基本內容和其重要性。羅馬書是聖經六十六卷書中最有系統的一卷書。它清楚地將基督信仰中,有關因信稱義與憑信心過屬靈成聖生活的重要真理,條理分明地闡釋出來。羅馬書裏面寶貴的信息,對於歷代無數聖徒,均產生極大之靈命的影響與事奉的祝福。奧古斯丁、馬丁路德、約翰衛斯理、倪柝聲等人都在他們的傳記中明確地指出神使用羅馬書的信息,奇妙地改變他們的生命。羅馬書關於因信稱義的信息,對基督教會有歷史性的貢獻。馬丁路德因為羅馬書,發覺當年羅馬天主教不合聖經的錯誤,因而導致偉大的宗教改革,使真理再次地陳明出來。羅馬書更明確地說是神的義顯明在福音裏,這福音是本於信以致於信(1:17)。神的義在兩方面彰顯出來:一是神在祂創造、救贖的作為中彰顯出祂自己是一位全然公義的神;另一方面是神的義彰顯在那些信祂的人身上,祂稱、算那些信祂獨生子之人為義,使他們因信稱義。這個因信稱義的福音包括:人接受耶穌基督為個人救主時的「得稱為義」(Justification),接下來的與主同行、在人生旅途中與主相交、愈來愈像祂的「成聖」過程(Sanctification),和我們必要與祂面對面、得神所賜的「榮耀」(Glorification)。保羅在這一卷書信中,將神的啟示、這個全備的恩惠福音,段落分明地告訴當時在羅馬的信徒,也是曉喻我們這些後來在基督裏的信徒,使我們明白神的奇妙計劃與奧秘真理。知道這些與我們每日生活息息相關的真理,使我們得以享受真自由,充滿信心與喜樂地奔跑天路。(莊光東、呂鴻基 1997

適合對象: 慕道友及基督徒

9月12日 尼希米迎新会





上周六(9月12日)尼希米团契迎来了一年一度的迎新会。通过去年的经验,我们这次不管是从准备上还是之后的现场执行都比以前以后了长足的进步。得到新朋友留下来的联系信息也比去年翻了一翻。当然,这是和大家的祷告分不开的,愿颂赞归于主!而且,我们尼希米需要再次感谢,(孙)丽梅姐,(赵)文霞姐,Rita(郑福绵)和(高)天舒姐给予我们的大力支持。因为她们帮我们准备午餐,使我们有更多的人手去支持整个迎新会的运作。

当天的迎新会虽然很短,但是大家都很开心。新朋友第一次听到敬拜歌曲都不是很适应,但是还是愿意配合,在加上有简单的食物可以享用,气氛倒也热火朝天。最后我们和新同学们一起去Downtown逛街彼此加深了解。总之,这次的迎新会在同工们的彼此合作下圆满的结束了。经上说:“各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事,作 神百般恩赐的好管家。”(彼前4:10)希望明年的迎新会能办得更好。

受洗见证 - 夏英丽

我的受洗见证

我是来自中国的一名退休医生。来加拿大以前所接受的教育和舆论导向,使我认为宗教是麻醉剂,是精神鸦片,是帝国主义侵略中国的工具,传教士是披着宗教外衣的入侵者。

在欧洲旅游时,每到一处都有教堂,它们是那么的雄伟和壮丽,当人们进入教堂都会肃然起敬,到处都有耶稣和圣母的雕象,不懂为什么会这样崇拜和敬仰他(她)们。我第一次走进教堂是在美国加州的圣荷塞,到了教会才感到它是那么有吸引力,我感到教会的每个兄弟姐妹,都非常可爱和温暖。

来到加拿大后我是自己找教会,找上门来的。多年来我一直参加小组团契,主日学,听牧师讲道;尤其在我被怀疑患鼻咽癌的检查过程中,得到谢牧师及全教会弟兄姐妹的祷告,关心问候,为我提供交通,翻译。深深感到在主里没有恐惧,只有温暖和关爱,最后蒙神的福,排除了癌症。我的经历见证了主的存在,真的体会到,早信早得福,凡事感恩,祷告,没有忧愁,只有喜乐。我们团契小组都知道,我最爱的一首圣诗是“真快乐”,这就是我的心声。我愿在主的家里为神活着,跟随主,荣耀主恩。

受洗见证 - 佟恒伟

我的受洗见证

我是从中国大陆来的,退休之前是中国科学院一个研究所的研究员,主要是从事高速摄影技术研究。从对事件的摄影,再现(放映),可实现时间的放大或缩短,所以人们常把高速摄影称作时间放大器。

大家都知道,大陆是信奉共产主义,当然现在大多数都已不相信它了;但无神论和唯物论,影响着每一个中国人,包括我自己。人们把参加宗教活动看作是搞迷信,那是农村老头,老太太的事。他(她)们没知识没文化,对一些大自然的现象无法解释,所以才相信鬼神。

我和老伴是2000年来到加拿大的,刚来没有事,一天,邻居说每周日教会有活动,有人会开车来接,所以我们就跟着邻居来到了教会。第一天来到教会就让我感到很惊奇! 满眼望去,几乎都是年轻人,老年人不多,有几位中国来的老年人,谈起来,他(她)们是来自中国的教授或工程师,总之,都是有知识有文化的。完全打破了我以前头脑中的概念,因此让我有了对教会的好奇心。

自那以后,我和老伴就成了教会的常客。团契,主日学,崇拜,还参加了教会在KINGSTON举办的春令营.
牧师和弟兄姐妹对我们信主给了我们很大帮助,逐渐地使我们从无神论和唯物论的枷锁中解脱出来,相信耶稣基督是我的救主,是宇宙中唯一的真神.

2009年8月2日,我就将接受洗礼了,从此,就结束了我的'外帮人'的生活,成为神的儿子,洗礼日是我一生中最盛大的节日,我将永远记住这一天. 感谢主!
