「時維九月，序屬三秋。」對於本會的弟兄姊妹來說，這個九月將因大埔永光小學的正式開學而別具意義。本會辦學歷史早已超過一百年，取名「永光」的學校，除了永光書院，還有曾經在筲箕灣和慈雲山的永光小學，除了傳授知識，更努力以基督信仰建立學童的生命。如今小學重開，意味著本會寓傳道於教育的傳統得以延續，委實值得感恩。不特如此，本年九月還有傳道人按牧和授職典禮，主理主教德亞瑟博士和差傳部部長迦德立主教專程自美國前來，為新一代牧者主禮，並為他們同心回應新時代的福音需要作見證。

本期除了刊載了兩位永光堂新晉牧者的按牧和授職感言，還有三年前按立的華人區會蘇于庭牧師的分享，以及潘耀倫牧師精彩的證道內容，請細心閱讀，領取屬靈福氣。

“Try to remember the kind of September ……” It is going to be a very special kind of September for brothers and sisters of International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) since
the Taipo Wing Kwong Junior School will start operation. IPHC has more than a hundred years’ history in running education institutes in Hong Kong. “Wing Kwong”, literally mean “eternal light” in Chinese, is the name not only to the currently active PHC Wing Kwong College but also two former primary schools in Shaukiwan and Tsz Wan Shan respectively. Apart from passing on knowledge, IPHC has put a strong stress on nurturing the spiritual lives of the students. With the upcoming opening of the new primary school, our tradition of education ministry continues.

What adds to our joy is that Presiding Bishop Dr. Doug Beacham and Bishop Talmadge Gardner, Executive Director of World Missions Ministries of IPHC, will come all the way to officiate the Dedication Service! They will also officiate the Ordination Service, which will be held on the following day.

This issue publishes the sharing of two Wing Kwong PHC pastors to be given ordination and license to minister. Rev. Peggy So, ordained as IPHC minister three years ago, offers a sharing on her spiritual reflections. Rev. Timothy Poon’s excellent sermon is published in the Bible in Hermeneutics column. Have a blessed reading!
