    • The Advent season this year is from December 3 to 24. It is a season for devotion and reflection. The Faith Formation ministry encourages our fellow church members of the Cantonese Ministry to listen to "The Daily Word", a public bible reading online program on the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui provincial website or YouTube. It includes scripture reading and pastoral sharing accompanied by meditative paintings and contemplative music. Audiences can enjoy six to seven minutes of quiet time from Monday to Saturday, in addition to Sunday, to encounter God, and receive spiritual nourishment through the Word of God to give them the strength to meet the challenges of daily life.‎
