Thank you for your partnership. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that we may prayerfully adjust our giving. For some, we may choose to give less. For others, we may decide to give more. Whatever your gift, thank you for your partnership.

Text 30131 to give:
You can now make an offering to BCEC using your credit/debit card by texting 30131. You can text-to-give to one of four funds.

To give to the General Fund, text “BCEC {enter dollar amount}” or “BCECGF {enter dollar amount}
To give to the Missions Fund, text “BCECMF {enter dollar amount}
To give to the Charity Fund, text “BCECCF {enter dollar amount}
To give to the Expansion Fund, text “BCECEF {enter dollar amount}

For example, texting “BCEC 100” will give $100 to the General Fund from your credit/debit card.

Please ensure you can pay your donation balance before using this method. If this is the first time you are giving to BCEC using a credit card, thank you! You will be prompted for setup information. Note a credit card fee of 2.65% plus $0.45 per transaction will be deducted from your offering.  (The fee for online giving through e-check costs less at $0.35 per transaction. Thus giving via e-check would make your gift go further for BCEC. You may also consider increasing your gift to cover the cost of the transaction fees.

The COVID-19 coronavirus has wreaked havoc on our daily lives, as much of Greater Boston has shut down. Some individuals have been impacted physically and financially. Therefore, our church will collect a special offering over the next three Sundays (April 5, 12 and 19) for the Boston Resiliency Fund, created by the City of Boston.

Priorities of this fund include providing access to food for various at-risk populations, technology to Boston Public School students for remote learning, and support to first responders and health care workers who are on the frontlines fighting this pandemic.

To donate to Boston Relief Fund or learn about more ways to practically care for our communities, click here.

Next Sunday is the first Sunday of the month, which we typically celebrate Holy Communion. Since we cannot come together physically to do this, we will be doing this in our homes. In order to prepare, please watch Pastor Enoch give a tutorial on how to prepare for the Holy Communion in your homes.

講題:我們能把甚麼給別人
經文:路加福音 10:1-7
講員:鄺偉傑牧師

經文引自《新標點和合本》,版權屬香港聖經公會所有,蒙允准使用。

1 這事以後,主又設立七十個人,差遣他們兩個兩個的,在他前面往自己所要到的各城各地方去。2 就對他們說:要收的莊稼多,作工的人少。所以,你們當求莊稼的主,打發工人出去收他的莊稼。3 你們去罷,我差你們出去,如同羊羔進入狼群。 4 不要帶錢囊,不要帶口袋,不要帶鞋;在路上也不要問人的安。5 無論進那一家,先要說:願這一家平安。 6 那裡若有當得平安的人,你們所求的平安就必臨到那家;不然,就歸與你們了。7 你們要住在那家,喫喝他們所供給的,因為工人得工價,是應當的;不要從這家搬到那家。

一同為教會的未來禱告

1979年波士頓華人佈道會搬進在夏里臣街249號新落成的教堂,譚雅各牧師退休,由馮雅各牧師出任主任牧師。

四十年後的今天(2019年),我們教會面對多項重要決定:(1)我們要察驗何為神的心意,是否出售249樓宇,讓市政府可以興建新學校。(2)我們要思想神的帶領,在華埠和牛頓的事工未來的方向。(3)我們需要神的幫助,來決定誰出任新的主任牧師。

所有這些決定都會影響我們的未來, 盼望我們教會能合一向主禱告,祈求祂的帶領和引導。每星期禱告事項。

因為祢是我的巖石,我的山寨;所以,求祢為祢名的緣故引導我,指點我。《詩篇》31篇3節

Praying Together for the future of our church

In 1979, BCEC moved into its new building at 249 Harrison Ave. and Pastor Fung became Senior Pastor, as Pastor Tan retired. Forty years later in 2019, our church is faced with many important decisions. We need to consider whether to sell 249 Harrison Ave. to allow the city to build a new school. We need to think about the future directions of our ministries in Chinatown and in Newton. We need to decide who should be the new Senior Pastor. In all these decisions that affect our future, we want to be united as a church to pray to the Lord to lead us and guide us. Here’s the link to the weekly prayer items.

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. (Ps 31:3, NIV)
