新堂感恩（何尚允法政牧師）
2015年10月，我們遷進新的堂址崇拜。新的教堂、新的社區、新的一頁！從當初神向李世舉醫生和王文鉌弟兄呼籲，並他們鍥而不捨的擺上，我見證他們以信心回應主的邀請。此外，伍德賢總主教和卑詩省列治文以馬內利堂一直以來的承擔和施予，並多倫多以馬內利堂的眾弟兄姊妹從頭一天起的捨己擺上，我為各人的盡心竭力而感恩。你們實在為往後的信徒和還未信主的朋友樹立了事奉和跟隨主的好榜樣！
在這個以基督為中心的「葡萄園」裡，我們都是上主的園戶、園丁。從教會開始，以基督的愛去感染信徒、住戶、職員… 願望我們一同開墾，彼此幫助，互相照應；一起去發現、培植、灌溉這個神所建立的地方，讓這地方成為大多倫多，甚至更遠地方，基督的燈臺！
「我們與神同工的，也勸你們不可徒受他的恩典。」（聖經・哥林多後書6:1）
Thanksgiving For God’s New Church (Rev. Canon Edmund Ho)
In October 2015, we moved into our new church location to worship. A new church, a new community, a new chapter! From the moment God called Dr. SK Lee and Brother Mark Wong, and through their persistent dedication, I witnessed their faithful response to the Lord’s invitation. I am also grateful for the support and generosity of Chief Bishop Silas Ng and REC, as well as our brothers and sisters from TEC – You have given selflessly since the beginning. I thank God for your wholehearted efforts. You have truly set a good example of service and following Christ for future believers and for those who have yet to know the Lord!
In this Christ-centered Vintage Garden community, we are all stewards and vinedressers of the Lord. Beginning with His church, we have sought to spread Christ’s love among believers, residents, staff and more. Our hope is that we will work together to cultivate, help and care for one another. Together, we will discover, nurture, and irrigate this place that God has established, so that it may become Christ’s lampstand in Greater Toronto and beyond!
“As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.” (2Corinthians 6:1)
