— A Word from the Centre Director — Dear brothers, sisters and friends,
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every
activity under the heavens:…a time to weep and a time to
laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance” (Ecclesiastes
3:1,4)
“I have seen the burden God has laid on the human
race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has
also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can
fathom what God has done from beginning to
end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:10-11)
A friend of mine is one of the fortunate people
who has recovered from COVID-19. He spent a week in the intensive care unit, but only realised how
dire his situation was when he started to read more about the virus after he was discharged from the
hospital. He came to understand why I was so worried about him when he was taken to the hospital. I was
very happy for him and his family and thanked God
when he was well enough to be discharged from the
hospital.
COVID-19 is still ravaging many parts of the world,
much more severely than what we have experienced here in Sydney. As medical scientists find out more
about this virus, we now know that not only can it be lethal, the infection can also be so debilitating that some
patients take months to leave the hospital. Furthermore, there may also be long term physical and
mental health sequelae to some individuals.
Our counselling team has seen firsthand the damaging emotional and social impacts of the
pandemic. Since the advent of the pandemic, we have been helping more people suffering from depression,
anxiety, marriage tension, family and relationship
problems as a result of the stressful economic, work and family situations caused by the pandemic. A greater
number still may suffer poorer mental health and
relationship stress as the pandemic continues.
We particularly wish to thank our donors who have
given generously in June to sustain our service so that we can continue to help people overcome their
problems during this most challenging and stressful time
in our life time.
The world is weeping and mourning not just for the
hundreds of thousands of people that have been lost through COVID-19, but the greater number of people
suffering serious economic hardship caused by the pandemic. Many are also experiencing great emotional
pain and worries because of the additional serious social and political turmoil and tension happening in
many parts of the world, including our homeland.
No matter where we are in Australia or elsewhere, the fears, worries and concerns will last for a while yet.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” but the problems we have
right now will all pass in time. To deal with all these
worries in our mind, it would help if we can tune into whatever we are feeling, gently accept its presence and
understand that this is a passing experience.
In the meantime, it is also important that we avoid contracting or spreading the coronavirus. We must
continue to take great care and follow health advice. We should remain vigilant and take all necessary
precautions – wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining social distance, and isolating ourselves for
14 days if needed, etc.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Recently we hear that promising vaccines are being evaluated in clinical trials in
some countries. We may finally be seeing signs of hope in this gloomy situation. If things go well, an effective
vaccine may be available next year. We must gather all
our fortitude and wait patiently for the better days to
come.
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us
timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” (2
Timothy 1:7)
May the grace of the Lord be upon you and your
family especially at this challenging time!

Thanksgiving & Prayer
- 感恩及代禱 -
1. We continue to pray for the
recovery of those who suffer
from COVID-19. We pray for
His comfort for those who
have lost their loved ones. We
pray for good health, wellbeing
and peace for all those who
are affected by the pandemic
situation. We also pray that
effective medical treatment
and vaccine for the virus will
soon be discovered.
2. We continue to pray for
Hong Kong and for the many
people and families in Hong
Kong and around the world
who are stressed and worried
by the current situation. May
His faith, hope, love, justice,
peace and reconciliation be
bestowed upon us all.
3. Please pray for appropriate
workers to be called to join
and serve on the Pastors
Renewal Ministry.
4. We thank the donors for their
generous donations in helping
this ministry to meet its
current financial needs. Their
giving has also enabled the
setting up of a Building Fund to
equip the ministry in a longer
term to continually serving the
community in need.
1. 我們繼續為新型冠狀病毒
感染者的康復祈禱。祈求
神賜予安慰給失去親人的
家人，給予所有受疫情影
響的人們身體健康，福祉
與平安。我們也為有效的
治療和疫苗的發現及測試
成功而禱告。
2. 我們繼續為香港，也為在
香港和世界各地因當前局
勢遭受困擾和擔心的人和
家庭祈禱。願神的信，
望，愛，公義，和平與和
解賜予我們所有人。
3. 祈求神呼召合適的同工加
入教牧更生事工服事。
4. 我們感謝捐款者的慷慨捐
助，幫助晨光解決現時服
務社區的財務需求，並為
晨光新設立的「建築基
金」，為長遠服務社區的
需要而作出支持。
親愛的弟兄姊妹及朋友：
「凡事都有定期，天下每一事務都有定
時。..哭有時，笑有時；哀慟有時，跳舞
有時。」(傳道書 3:1,4)
「 我觀看神給世人的擔子，使他們在其中
勞苦： 神造萬物，各按其時成為美好，
又將永恆安放在世人心裏；然而 神從始
至終的作為，人不能測透。」(傳道書 3:
10-11)
我的一位朋友是有幸從新冠肺炎中康復的
其中一人。他在深切治療部住了一星期，出
院回家後閱讀到更多有關該病毒的資訊時，
才意識到自己的處境曾經非常險峻，便開始
明白為什麼當他進院時我會為他如此擔心。
看見他康復出院，我為他和他的家人感到非
常高興，也為他感謝上帝。
新型冠狀病毒仍然席捲全球不同地方，許
多國家情況比悉尼更為嚴峻。隨著醫學界及
科學界對這種病毒有更多了解，我們現在知
道這病毒不僅具有致命性，有些感染者身體
更可能會變為十分衰弱，以至數月後才能離
開醫院。另外，此病毒甚至會導致一些人的
身心健康有著長期的後遺症。
自從疫情以來，我們的輔導團隊親眼目睹
這大流行對社會和人們情緒帶來不少破壞及
影響。受著疫情的影響，很多人在經濟、家
庭和職場上皆承擔很大的壓力，我們輔助了
不少因此患上抑鬱、焦慮，甚至婚姻、家庭
和人際關係受困擾的個案。疫情未退，恐怕
更多人心靈及精神健康會持續受影響，我們
會承諾繼續傾力幫助有需要的社群。
在此，我們要特別感謝各位在六月份對晨
光不懈的支持及捐獻，讓我們可以維持提供
有效的服務，幫助有需要的人士，共渡難
關。
此際哀鴻遍野，不少人在哀悼疫情下喪失
了的生命之餘，還要承受疫情帶來的經濟衰
退；加上嚴重的社會問題、政治動盪和緊張
局勢，許多人的情緒遭受巨大壓力，以致寢
食不安。無論在世界各地以至我們的家園，
恐懼和擔憂仍會持續一段時間。「凡事都有
定期，天下每一事務都有定時。 」需知困
境有一天終會過去。要解除煩惱，我們要面
對現實並接受它，理解這只是短暫的，這樣
的思維必幫助我們面對逆境。
此刻，我們必須保持警惕，遵循政府的建
議，認真地積極防疫，並採取一切必要的預
防措施: 如戴口罩、勤洗手、保持社交距
離，並在需要時自我隔離14天等等。
黑暗中總有一線光明。最近，報導說有些
國家正在研發疫苗，並已進入臨床試驗評估
階段。在這令人沮喪的情況下的確帶來希
望。順利的話，明年便可提供有效疫苗。我
們必須全力以赴，耐心等待美好的日子。
「因為神賜給我們的不是膽怯的心，而是
剛強、仁愛、自制的心。」(提摩太後書
1:7)
在這充滿挑戰的時刻， 願主的恩典臨在您
和您家！

這本書是學者伙拍牧者，雙方磨合出來的精粹。許志超博士透過行為
科學的分析，解說人們在判斷及印象上的偏差，以及衝突的前因後果；
加上蕭壽華牧師以教牧觀點，從聖言與聖靈的信仰角度去回應有關分
析。行為科學理論一旦讀通了，竟然發人深省，這等反思更可應用於
日常生活及教會場景，配合聖經教導，有助預防人際間的張力發展成
為衝突關係。

成功婚姻必修课 Joy Song
婚姻成功夫妇双方彼此相处愉悦、对婚姻的满意度高，情绪更积极，身体更健康。婚姻成功对孩子有着
非凡的意义。温暖的婚姻关系让夫妇双方在教养角色中相互尊重，精诚合作，更有机会采用有效的教养措施，养育出积极乐观身心健康的孩子，获得做父母的效能感。更重要的是，孩子在原生家庭里获得的幸福感和耳闻目染父母间的良性互动模式将深深地印在他们的脑海中，并极有可能成为宝贵的精神财富代代相传。
同舟共济的婚姻，固然人人向往，婚姻成功并不意味着没有问题和挑战，而是更积极面对；婚姻成功也不是免于差异和冲突，而是发展能力求同存异，寻求双赢。正如托尔斯泰所言：“幸福的家庭都是相似的，不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。” 幸福的家庭婚姻稳固持久，有着共同的决定因素，而婚姻失败则包括双方的相容性低、
相互的期望不匹配、相互抱怨诋毁、缺乏情感支持等多种不利因素。
婚姻成功需要正确方向、用对方法并用心来经营。探索建立成功的婚姻是人际关系中最重要一课，也是
人生幸福的必修课。
由资深家庭教育者宋晓玲女士带领的“成功婚姻必修课”将带领夫妇们探索成功婚姻的秘诀，启发爱的
能力，学习充满智慧地面对两性差异调整关系，实现更有效的沟通，加深亲密关系，迎接并收获婚姻幸福。
