"... we have decided to err on the side of caution as we journey together during this time of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Therefore, we are prayerfully asking that congregations adopt the level 4 procedures outlined in the Pandemic Action Plan (available at https://www.glpby.org/coronavirus-covid19/) and not hold in person worship services this Sunday (March 15)."
"Both the city of St Louis and St Louis County have declared states of emergency, restricting the size of gatherings. St Louis County, in particular, is limiting gatherings to no more than 250 people. Similarly, the governor of Illinois has ordered the cancellation of large-scale public events and directed that Illinois schools be closed beginning next Tuesday until March 30. While none of these declarations specifically addressed religious organizations, we feel it prudent to adopt their recommendations."
------

action, or in determining any line of conduct; practically
wise; judicious; careful; discreet; sensible; -- opposed
to {rash}; as, a prudent man; dictated or directed by
prudence or wise forethought; evincing prudence; as,

(a.)審慎的,三思而後行的,精明的,節儉的

Read the attached letter from the Presbytery to feel the scope of measurements involved in this strategy. Think about how much we could learn about leadership through this special decision. Afterall, Presbyterianism is about ruling and leadership among the Christians. 讀讀附件裡的中會來信，看看這個策略牽動多少措施。想想我們能從這件事情學到什麼「領導學」的功課。畢竟長老教會精神就是在處理基督徒當中的規範與領導。
How could anybody know why the Biblical citation, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem, was selected, many years ago, for this particular Sunday?
誰會曉得這一句經節是怎麼在數年前就被選擇用在今天，「時候將到，那時你們敬拜父，不在這山上，也不在耶路撒冷」。

While we choose to worship in some alternative ways, we will learn from the sermon, which is one of the key attributes in Presbyterianism, prepared by Pastor Aline through the internet. https://www.facebook.com/stltpc/
I am working on a video of the same sermon recorded in Taiwanese with captions in three languages. When the posting is ready it will be announced here. 我再準備一份用台語把同一篇講道念出來，而附有三文字幕的影片。上架後會再通知。

This is another historical day that we cancel the Sunday online worship service to give the pastor time to recover from surgery. 這是另一個歷史性的日子 -- 我們暫停一次主日禮拜，讓牧師在手術後有時間休息、療養。
We get extra opportunities to visit other churches through online worship, beyond the geological limitation. 我們同時得到額外的機會可以去參加/見識別教會的禮拜。

Remember what we learned on Sunday that we started online worship service? 記得我們第一次進行網路禮拜那天學到的經節嗎？

We will have some collections to share and discuss on the subject of the types and styles of worship services. 我們就會有一些收集到的經驗可以討論禮拜的種類與格調/格式。
