Meeting Minutes March 9, 2020 9:30pm-10:20pm ( ZOOM meeting, with 18 brothers/sisters)
因冠状病毒感染人数在新泽西州的极速增加，新泽西州长今日宣布新泽西州进入紧急状态。以下是纽瓦克基督徒聚会处根据刚刚所发布这个紧急状态为即将到来的主日福音聚会所作的调整与安排：
With the rapid increase in the number of coronavirus infections in New Jersey, the Governor of New Jersey announced on March 9th that New Jersey has entered a state of emergency. Here are the adjustments and arrangements for the forthcoming Sunday Gospel meeting in Newark based on the state of emergency just announced:
1 要来主日（3月15号）的聚会包括主日的敬拜和福音信息将限制到会所参加聚集的人数。基本上是只鼓励在当日有安排要参与服事（包括福音聚会所安排的服事和清洁服事）的弟兄姊妹到会所来聚集，其余的姊妹则可以通过教会提供的在线互动的网络平台来参与敬拜和交通。当然也不限制要来会所参加聚会的福音朋友。但若福音朋友有顾虑，也建议福音朋友在线听福音信息，或和邀请他们的弟兄姊妹一起通过网络来听取信息；
The coming Lord’s Day (March 15) gathering, including worship and gospel messages on Sunday, the number of people to attend physically in the church building will be limited. We encourage only brothers and sisters who are scheduled to participate in the ministry (including ministry and cleaning service in the gospel meeting) are encouraged to come to the church building. The remaining brothers and sisters can use the online platform provided by the church to participate in worship and fellowship. Of course, there are no restrictions on the gospel friends who wants to come to the church building to attend the meeting. However, if the gospel friends have concerns, we recommend that the gospel friends listen to the gospel message online or with the brothers and sisters who invited them to listen to the message online.
2 弟兄姊妹可以通过会所提供的网络互动平台来在线参与福音聚会前的敬拜，可以在线一起祷告和点诗歌。诗歌歌词到时候会共享在屏幕上，司琴姊妹则会在会所司琴（因目前已经安排的司琴的姊妹可能不能来会所参与服事，可能需要考虑另安排司琴的弟兄或姊妹）。当日福音聚会其他所安排的事项包括福音陪谈等则可根据当日具体参与聚会的情况再作决定。
Brothers and sisters can participate in worship before the gospel message through the online interactive platform to pray and request songs. The lyrics will be shared on the screen at that time, and the pianist will play the piano in the church building (since the gospel meeting pianist may not be able to come to the church building on March 15, we may need to consider another pianist). Other matters scheduled for the gospel meeting, including follow-up talks, can be decided based on the specific participation in the meeting that day.
3 暂建议不提供福音聚会后的午餐，但考虑要照顾到来参加聚会的福音朋友，孩子和老人，目前初步考虑提供限量的(轻食)叉烧包供应（40个左右）；
It is temporarily not recommended to provide lunch after the gospel meeting. But considering the gospel friends, children and the elderly who may come to the church building, church initially consider providing a limited (about 40 snacks) barbecued pork bun supply.
4 儿童服事的安排上，建议毓丹姊妹初步统计来参加的儿童人数，并根据要来的人数再作上课的安排（或许考虑合并儿童的班级）；
In terms of child service ministry arrangements, it is recommended that Sister Yudan make a preliminary count of the number of children who may come to participate, and make arrangements for class based on the number of people coming (maybe consider combining children’s classes)
5 建议取消当日的成人和儿童主日学。
It is recommended to cancel Sunday school for both adults and children.
关于平时周间的聚会包括周二的祷告聚会，周三的姊妹聚会，周五学生福音查经和会所的查经交通，主日的敬拜，主日信息和主日学，目前建议调整如下：
Regarding the weekly meetings, including the prayer meetings on Tuesdays, the sisters meetings on Wednesdays, the student gospel Bible study and Bible study at church building on Friday, worship on Sunday, Sunday message, and Sunday school, the following suggestions are:
1 原则上保持聚会形式简单化，不建议饭食供应。鼓励弟兄姊妹通过在线互动的网络平台来参与交通。危子彪弟兄可以帮助为每个聚会提供网上交通的平台；
Keep the meeting methods as simple as possible. Meals are not recommended. Brothers and sisters are encouraged to participate in fellowship through the online platforms. Brother Bill Wei will help to provide an online platform for each meeting.
2 对于聚会形式已经比较简单的聚会例如周二晚的祷告聚会，建议该聚会的负责弟兄们作最终决定看是否考虑全部采用网络方式来参与。但对于其他聚会，尽量减少因在会所的聚集所带来病毒传播的机会。尤其是有邀请其他弟兄姊妹不太熟悉的福音朋友或弟兄姊妹来参与的聚集。
For meeting methods that are already relatively simple, such as a prayer meetings on Tuesday nights, it is recommended that the brothers in charge of the meeting make a final decision to consider online participation. But for other meetings, try to minimize the chance of spreading the virus caused by gatherings in the church building. Especially there are gatherings that invite other gospel friends or brothers and sisters who are less familiar with.
以上是根据新泽西州最新公布的紧急状态所作的聚会上的调整。若州政府有进一步的紧急状态的升级或更新，我们的聚集会再作相应的调整。
These are the adjustments based on the latest state of emergency announced in New Jersey. If the state government has a further emergency upgrade or update, our assembly will be adjusted accordingly.
