Oh God! If we have not shown mercy and kindness to our neighbours, please forgive us
神啊,若我們已失去憐憫鄰舍的心和行善的動力,求祢寛恕、赦免我們的罪

Day 27 of Lent   19 March 2010 (Friday)

Scripture Meditation> Exodus 20: 8-10, Leviticus 25: 1-7
1. In what ways do you think the Sabbath was good for relationships and for the environment?
2. Do we take the teaching of Sabbath seriously today?

Carbon Fast
> Confess
Oh God! If we have forgotten why you bless the Sabbath day or if we have not depended on you in our life and glorified you with our soul anymore if we have not shown mercy and kindness to our neighbours, please forgive us.
> ‘Save the Resources’
The high-tech products bring about many conveniences in our daily living, however they also pollute the environment if they are discarded improperly. Recommend to you from now on to maintain all electronic appliances and high-tech domestic products in good condition and refusing blindly to seek the newest technology or model.

減碳行動
>認罪

神啊,若我們遺忘了祢於六日創造後設立安息日的美意;若我們已不再倚靠祢而活,我們的心不再尊你為大;若我們已失去憐憫鄰舍的心和行善的動力,求祢寛恕、赦免我們的罪。
>「六『惜』行動」
科技產品為我們的生活帶來不少便利,但遭棄置的舊款電器卻為環境帶來嚴重破壞。建議你從今以後,珍惜家裡各樣電器及科技產品,好好保養善待,盡量延長它們的「壽命」,並學習節制,不盲目追求最新科技及型號,減少更換、減少棄置、減少污染。
