這是我擔任堂監的最後一年，感謝牧師和弟兄姊妹們對我的包容與愛護；能和各位在牧愛堂同工是我最大的福份。

It was my last year as a Chinese warden. I want to thank you for your tolerance and protection. It has been my greatest honor to work with you at the Good Shepherd Church. 

今年大家一起推動了許多事工，都是幫助鄰舍、造就弟兄姊妹的工作。我相信上帝悅納我們的奉獻。

Together we accomplished much work that helped our neighbors and strengthened our faith. I believe God would remember those efforts. 

新的一年也許有更多的挑戰，不論是在教會事工上或是在社會與經濟的層面。願上帝繼續保守牧愛堂和所有的弟兄姊妹們。

There might be various challenges ahead of us, maybe the ministry or maybe social or economical instability. May God bless the Good Shepherd Church and all brothers and sisters.

I am proud to be a member of the Good Shepherd and honored to serve Lord with you, brothers and sisters. Thank God for His grace and guidance; Good Shepherd had an abundant 2007. On behalf of congregation members, I would like to thank Rev. Lily and Rev. Diane for their leadership and unselfish care.  I want to thank all of you who have made generous contributions in time, talents, and treasure. You have made Good Shepherd a better place to worship God and serve our neighbors. The English and Chinese congregations have worked closely on the reconstruction project,  and may God bless our fund-raising program starting this year. This exciting and challenging project needs your continuing prayers.

各位弟兄姊妹：真高興自己是牧愛堂的一份子，能和大家一起服事主。感謝上帝的恩典與引領，牧愛堂有個豐豐富富的2007年。我僅代表中、英文堂教友感謝張牧師與王牧師的領導和無私的關懷。我也要謝謝所有弟兄姊妹們慷慨的奉獻：包括您的時間、才能、與金錢；您的奉獻使牧愛堂成為敬拜上帝與友愛鄰舍的好地方。中、英文堂在改建計畫上緊密的合作，也願上帝祝福我們今年開始的募款行動。改建計畫令人期待卻又極富挑戰，需要大家持續的禱告。

感謝主繼續祝福幼稚園與社區老人中心，這兩個機構為「愛鄰舍」做了美好的見證，我們也感謝主隨時供應他們所需要的經費。許恩惠姊妹擔任我們的音樂指導後，牧愛堂的音樂又進步了：詩班的獻詩、節期頌讚CD、與南征北討的演出，再再展現牧愛堂的活力。主日學暑期喜樂營的人數破紀錄，聖誕劇的演出也讓大家印象深刻，謝謝老師們長期的投入。青年及國、高中團契的感情很好，我們也在各個服事的場合看到他們揮汗，謝謝他們和陪伴他們的人。許多媽媽們在不同的事工上默默的付出，神必祝福。看到弟兄姊妹生病、住院時，大家的探訪與鼓勵；有人過世時，大家的安慰與協助，我知道牧愛堂是一個愛的教會。牧區議員都很稱職，尤其副堂監洪金凱弟兄真的好用心；謝永瑜姊妹今年領導執委會做了許多突破，尤其星光感恩音樂會非常成功，謝謝大家。兩個月前剛為李爺爺暖壽，讓我們今年再為他盛大的慶祝100歲生日！

要感恩的事和感謝的人太多了，就讓我再說一次：我很高興能和大家一起服事主。讓我們一起期待一個豐豐富富的2008年。
