Due to the Coronavirus outbreak Reflect Sunday Youth Service meetings, at Shanghai Community Fellowship, are suspended until further notice by mandate of city governing authorities.
Dear Reflect Families,
These are uncertain times. However, thankfully we serve a certain God! Our God is sovereign and in control at all times! Remember that God says:
Isaiah 41:10
10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We must remember to turn to God if we feel fearful, anxious or like we lack strength. In all things, God understands you and if you turn to him, he will guard your heart and mind with his wonderful peace!
The focus that the leaders of SCF decided to have during these times, is captured in 4 words: Care, Community, Content and Prayer. For more details concerning these general focus areas, please see SCF’s e-newsletter. You can sign up for the e-newsletter by writing ([email protected]).
Reflect Youth Group will live out these focuses by:
Care – It is very important to continue seeking to connect with each other and to care for each other. This is a great time to begin actively using Reflect’s WeChat Groups, in order to encourage and checkup on each other.
Lastly, everything SCF is doing and everything SCF wants to communicate will appear on SCF’s website (www.shanghaifellowship.org) and in SCF’s e-newsletter.
Content – Reflect Youth Group will begin adding new content to our page on SCF’s website. Please check the website regularly for new content and content updates. At the moment, this new content will come in the form of daily devotions and recommendations from the Right Now Media library. A Right Now Media subscription is free. Get your free membership by emailing: [email protected]. You can also scan the QR code. Please check out their website:

Prayer – Even though we are not meeting together in person or as frequently, it’s important that we continue our own personal quiet times, as well as, to continue praying for each other. A great resource for kick starting quiet times and getting into the habit of praying can be found at the www.prayercourse.org site.
Prayer Suggestions:
- For Reflect youth and families still in China
- For Reflect youth and families who are traveling and or will be leaving China
- For Reflect youth and families who are abroad
- For continued community in Reflect
Blessings,
Cameron Huckabee, Reflect Youth Group Director

Shanghai Community Fellowship’s Youth Group, Reflect Youth Group @ SCF (Reflect), started in 2013 with a desire to disciple every youth that attends SCF. Reflect is a Youth Group with multiple youth programs including a weekly Sunday Youth Service.
Reflect’s core values are “Disciples,” “Reflecting,” “Christ.” Therefore, as a youth group we daily try to reflect upon God’s Word, to be changed more into the image of Christ, and to show others a reflection of Jesus.
When and Where is Reflect Sunday Youth Service?
Sundays @ 1pm-2pm
Main Sanctuary, 53 Hengshan Road
