Sharing from Cherrie
Dear brothers, sisters and friends,
Blessed New Year!
First Light Care (FLC) will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year. I am privileged to participate in the working committee planning this joyous event. As I was looking through the old photos, learning the FLC milestones and hearing many stories Gerald shared with me, I was amazed by how God brought this ministry alive. He has sustained it rain and shine for not a few years but a quarter of a century!
This year, there are many things we are grateful for. Firstly, we have Dr Yixin Jiang Xu joining us as a new therapist. She is a familiar face in our First Light Care family. Over the past few years, she has been running educational seminars and reading groups to equip new parents with skills and knowledge. We are encouraged to see Yixin continuing her Clinical Psychology Master’s program in the midst of her busyness looking after her young daughter.
Secondly, Evelene, Jason and I will take turns regularly creating new content on our social media platforms. In this way, we hope to keep pace with the times and reach out to the younger generation, new migrants and netizens. Please keep us in your prayers as we venture out of our comfort zones, as none of us is tech-savvy.
Thirdly, I would like to share that I am deeply grateful to receive an offer to study in a Clinical Psychology Master’s program this year. With God’s help, I believe this will equip me to be a better therapist. I will continue working at First Light Care in individual therapy and educational seminars throughout this year. Also, I will try a new way to run seminars via on-demand settings, allowing participants to access the content at their own time in a designated month.
Last but not least, we are grateful that our new centre in West Ryde is now ready for operation. If you get a chance to visit our newly renovated centre and our soon-to-be-released new website, you will notice quite a few updates and upgrades. Despite all the efforts and changes to make this ministry more effective and efficient, something never changes. You got it! That’s our Vision - to walk alongside, comfort and strengthen individuals and families with the love of Christ in a professional counselling setting. We pray that God will use this caring ministry to channel His love, care, wisdom, healing and comfort in the community.
Thank you so much for your support in partnering with us in this ministry! May our God’s love, joy and peace dwell in your hearts through faith in this new year.

Cherrie的分享
各位主內弟兄姊妹、各位朋友：
恭祝您們新年蒙福！
今年是晨光關懷協會成立二十五周年。能夠加入工作委員會籌劃各項慶祝活動，我感到很榮幸。當我細看昔日晨光大大小小活動拍下的照片時，我對晨光這些年來經過的每一個里程都了解不少，張有倫先生也向我憶述晨光經歷了不少的往事。讓我看到神怎樣把生命賜給這事工，教我萬分驚喜。祂把雨露並陽光施與這事工，不只是短短數年，卻是整整四分一世紀的時間！
今年我們有許多感恩的事。首先，徐蔣亦心博士加入了晨光的團隊，擔任新治療師一職。Yixin 在過去幾年裡，曾經多次在晨光主辦過教育研討會和閱讀小組，向首次為人父母的人士，提供寶貴的知識和意見。Yixin一方面忙於照顧年幼的女兒，另一方面也繼續她的臨床心理碩士課程，我們對此深受鼓舞。
第二，我和Evelene 及Jason會不斷地在社交平台上創造新的內容，以我們並不太精通的新科技知識，嘗試大膽地走出舒適的領域，以期不懈地與時並進，也接觸到年輕一代、新移民和廣大網民。務請大家為我們祈禱。
第三，我願與你們共享我個人的感恩：今年年初，我已被接納為修讀臨床心理碩士課程學生之一。我相信在神的扶助下，我會獲得更多知識，成為更好的治療師。我仍會在本年內繼續在晨光服務，主理個別治療和教育訮討會。此外，我也會試行用一種新方式辦理研討會，就是透過點選設定，讓參加者可在選定的月份內，隨時收看研討會的內容。
最後，我們十分感恩晨光已在West Ryde新會址開始了營運。你們如有空來探訪我們嶄新裝修的中心，以及瀏覽我們即將推出的全新網頁，必會發現當中有不少更新和改進。儘管我們竭盡所能作出轉變，努力地提高事工的效能與效率，但是，有一件事情是永遠都不會改變的。是！就是本着基督的大愛，堅守着我們的願景 - 透過專業的輔導及教育服務，與個人和家庭分享從基督而來的安慰和力量。我們祈望神會透過晨光的服侍，向社羣傳送祂的大愛、關懷、智慧、治療和撫慰。
十分感謝您們對晨光事工的參與和支持！讓我們憑着信，願神的大愛、喜樂與和平，在這新的一年長駐您們心中。
