Offerings

Offerings during the worship service are for New West Church and local ministries as well as denomina-

tional ministries. There may be a designated special cause identified below. Please place your offerings

into the bag, using your current envelopes if you have them. There are also envelopes in the pew if you

are a guest or forgot yours at home. Cheques should be made out to the New Westminster CRC and

should indicate the ministry you are donating to. All donation dollars and loose change will be applied to

the following second collection:

Today’s Offering is for Faith in Action CRC. Our brothers and sisters in Christ who meet every

week in Vancouver for Worship. They want to be a self supporting congregation but are still requiring

our financial support at this time. Please prayerfully consider this congregation’s needs .

Next week’s Offering will be for missionaries Frank and Aria Sawyer. When Frank and Aria Sawyer

arrived in Hungary 20 years ago to teach at Sárospatak Reformed Theological Academy, Hungary, church

growth had halted during the country’s 40 years under Communist rule. The academy had closed, pastors

and church members were aging, and home Bible studies and outreach programs were forbidden. Whole

generations had grown up knowing little about Christ. Christian Reformed World Missions sent the Saw-

yers to Sárospatak to help train new church leaders and teachers. Over time, the academy began adding

programs. Many young people became pastors. Churches resumed outreach ministries. Seminary stu-

dents became involved in youth camps and music ministries.

Thank you for supporting New West Church and these various ministries.

The Persecuted Church: Vietnam: Pastor Y Wo Nie

arrested in 2004, has been

released from prison. He was given a 9-year

sentence in prison but was released early in 2011.

Pray that his health will recover after being in prison

for 7 years and will be able to continue serving his

Lord.

Iran: According to Christian Solidarity Worldwide

(CSW), Iranian authorities in Ahwaz, a southern

town in Iran, raided a church that was celebrating

Christmas, detaining everyone in the building —

including children who were in Sunday school.

Pastor Youcef is still in prison. Pray that he will be

released.

China: Shouwang Church is still prohibited from

worship services and police have detained several

believers in prison for several days. Pray that

freedom will be granted. Pastor Shien Hau, a house

church leader with about 2,000 members and the

deputy vice president of Chinese House Church

Alliance, was unexpectedly released from prison. He

had been sentenced for 2 years of re-education by

labor for holding illegal meetings. Praise the Lord.

Egypt: After the soccer riot, many people were

killed, the situation in Egypt is very tense. Pray for

the country.

There was some good news reported in the

Newsweek Magazine. They published an article

about the plight of persecuted Christians and

wonder why we haven’t given attention to those

who have suffered much and why the Christians are

not protected from the attacks. It’s worth reading

and I hope it will bring help for the Christians.

In His Love, Willy Van Delft

engaging the Social Ethics of Music on Friday,

March 2 at 7 PM at Fleetwood CRC, 9165—160

Street, Surrey. This documentary considers the

nature of music’s role in the public sphere. Can music

have a social impact? Should it? When does it cease

to be music and become propaganda? What is the

role of faith in socially engaged music? We will

consider these and other questions as we watch the

film together and discuss. The film portrays the work

of several contemporary composers who engage with

themes of social relevance and the interaction of

these composers with contemporary philosophers

and ethicists. The discussion will be introduced and

led by Dr. Rebekah Smick, Senior Member in

Philosophy of the Arts and Culture and ICS Junior

Member Rebecca Tait.
