2026年のクリスマスのテーマは、“Thank You Christmas”。
The theme for Christmas 2026 is “Thank You Christmas.”
クリスマスは、神様から与えられた最高のギフトであるイエス・キリストに感謝し、その喜びを周りの人々と分かち合う時間です。
今回、12月24日のクリスマススペシャルで一緒に歌う、ゴスペルクワイヤーのメンバーを募集します。
Christmas is a time to give thanks for Jesus Christ, the greatest gift God has given us, and to share that joy with the people around us.
We are looking for Gospel Choir members to sing with us at our Christmas Special on December 24.
私たちが大切にしたいのは、12月24日のステージだけではありません。練習やフェローシップを含め、みんなでクリスマスをつくっていくプロセスそのものも大切にしたいと考えています。
What we value is not only the performance on December 24. We also want to value the entire process of creating Christmas together, including rehearsals and fellowship.
普段から教会で奉仕している方だけでなく、ゴスペルや教会に少しでも興味がある方にも、ぜひ参加していただきたいです。
We welcome not only those who regularly serve at church, but also anyone who is interested in Gospel music or curious about church.
一緒に歌い、交わる中で、互いを知り、祈り、支え合う新しいコネクションとコミュニティが生まれること。そして、そこで生まれた喜びが、それぞれの家族や友人、周りの人たちにも広がっていくことを願っています。
As we sing and share fellowship together, we hope to get to know one another and build a new community where we can pray for and support each other. We also hope that the joy we experience together will spread to our families, friends, and the people around us.

“But the Lord was gracious to them and had compassion on them and turned to them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them or cast them from His presence until now.” (2 Kings 13:23 NASB1995)
3 Things That God Desires For Us:
1. He Wants To Us From Our Sins
“1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.” 3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.”（Jonah 1:1-3 NASB1995）
“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”(2 Peter 3:9 NASB1995)
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NASB1995）
2.He Wants Us To His Words
“4 Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”5 Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them. 6 When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes. 7 He issued a proclamation and it said, “In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing. Do not let them eat or drink water. 8 But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands. 9 Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.”（Jonah 3:4−10 NASB1995）
3. God Wants Us To The Magnitude Of His Mercy
「“7 But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered. 8 When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, “Death is better to me than life.”9 Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “I have good reason to be angry, even to death.” 10 Then the Lord said, “You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight. 11 Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?” (Jonah 4:7‐11 NASB1995）
We Believe that every person, Christian and non-Christian alike, is valuable to God and to His Kingdom. (New Hope Tokyo Core Value #1)

バイブルスタディ「ローマ人への手紙 ― 罪から恵みへ」 Bible Study “Romans ー From Guilt to Grace”
New Hope Tokyoでは、BSF（Bible Study Fellowship)とパートナーシップを結び、聖書勉強会を開催しています。毎週、聖書を少しづつ読み、レクチャーやスモール・グループ・ディスカッションを通して、神様のことばを深く学び、日々の生活に生かしていきます。今年のテーマは「ローマ人への手紙 ― 罪から恵みへ」です。
疑いや恐れ、罪の意識…そんな誰もが一度は抱く悩みに、ローマ人への手紙は福音の希望を示してくれます。初めて聖書を読む方も、もっと深く学びたい方も、どなたでも歓迎です。ぜひ一緒に学んでいきましょう!
In partnership with Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), New Hope Tokyo hosts regular Bible studies. Each week, you’ll study Scripture chapter by chapter, discuss in a small group, and listen to a lecture to deepen your understanding of God’s Word and apply it to your everyday life.
This year’s study is Romans – From Guilt to Grace. Romans speaks to our deepest struggles — doubt, fear, and guilt — and leads us to God’s grace. Whether you’re reading the Bible for the first time or have been studying it for years, you’re welcome to join us. We’d love to learn together with you!
