Our bilingual small group meets for Bible study and prayer every Friday afternoon from 13:00~14:30. The English Bible Study meets online on Monday evenings from 8:30~10:00pm. We also have an Online Prayer Fellowship every Friday evening from 20:00~21:00. Everyone is welcome to attend.

バイリンガルの小グループで聖書の学びと祈り会を毎週金曜日の午後1:00~2:30に開いています。英語の小グループがオンラインで毎週月曜日の夜8:30~10:00に開いています。毎週金曜日の夜8:00~9:00に開いているオンライン祈り会もあります。お気軽にお越し下さい。

Since 2020, many of these small groups have been meeting online. Contact us if you are interested in joining a small group.

In our ministry centre we provide a comfortable room for parents with very small kids. For the kids, there is the opportunity to make new friends and plenty of toys to play with. And for the parents, the service is played in real time on a wall-mounted screen so the music, prayers, sermon and so on can still be enjoyed. (This also allows parents to know when communion is being taken.)

母子室（乳幼児をお連れの方のための）

私たちの教会では、幼いお子さんがいる親御さんのために快適な部屋を用意しています。子どもたちには、たくさんの玩具で遊べて、新しいお友達を作るいい機会になります。そして親御さん方のためにも、壁に取り付けられた画面上で、教会での説教、音楽、祈りなどが同時放送されますので、子どもを見ながら礼拝に参加できます。 （リアルタイムの放送ですので、いつ聖餐式が行われているのかが分かります。）

Our kids are the future of the church and our kids’ ministry is a fun and meaningful means of teaching kids how to have a true relationship with the living God. We have Sunday School every Sunday for kids aged from kindergarten years through to the end of elementary school. Classes are run in our Kids’ Ministry Centre on the second floor of the building and are taught in English with Japanese support.

私たちの子どもたちが教会の未来を担います。キッズミニストリーは、子どもたちに生きている神と真の関係を持つことを教える楽しくてやりがいのあるミニストリーです。幼稚園児から小学生までの子どもたちのための日曜学校が毎週日曜日にあります。クラスは教会の建物の２階にあるキッズミニストリーセンターにて、日本語のサポート付きで英語で行われます。

Japanese and English speaking students both welcome!

Open to students in 7th-12th grade attending international school and students attending or entering Japanese middle and high school.

Our youth group currently meets once a month after the Sunday worship service, typically on the third Sunday of the month. Meetings are a dynamic and inspiring mix of teaching, worship, friendship and fun. Run primarily in English (although most members are English-Japanese bilingual), it’s for junior and senior high schoolers, and students of all backgrounds are welcome.

ユースグループは現在、月1回程度、日曜日の礼拝後に集まっています（通常、第三日曜日）。ユースグループは、学び、賛美、友達との交わりや楽しいことをともにする活動的で元気づけられる集まりです。主に英語で行われていますが、（今は、ほとんどのメンバーが英語・日本語のバイリンガルですので）中学生、高校生のみんな、だれでも大歓迎です。

YG Mission Statement:

Minoh International Church Youth Group is dedicated to raising up students who love and serve God, each other, and those around them. We are brought together through our belief in the Bible as the living Word of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and salvation through belief in Jesus’ atoning death. We will encourage and commit to one another joyfully and genuinely to mature in our personal walks with God, live lives with integrity and courage, and bring others to Christ.

The Young Adults ministry is an avenue for college students, graduate students and young professionals in their 20s and 30s to worship, fellowship and build strong friendships. We meet every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month after the church service.

ヤングアダルト(YA)のミニストリーは、大学生、大学院生や20代から30代の社会人の方々が礼拝、交流、そして強い友情を築くための活動です。毎月第1と第3日曜日、教会の礼拝後に集っています。

About once a month, our women gather after the service to have fun, encourage each other and pray together. These gatherings are held at the Church building, in bilingual English and Japanese.
月1回程度、教会の女性たちが日曜日の礼拝後に教会で集まって、楽しい時間を過ごしながらお互いを励ましたり、お互いのために祈っております。この集まりは英語と日本語で実施しておりますので、遠慮なく参加してください。

The purpose of the Group is for the Men in our congregation to meet from time to time for Fellowship and Fun. Our goal is to have a monthly activity organized by a different person each month.

箕面国際教会の男性グループは名前の通り教会の男性陣のためのグループです。月に１回程度で様々な活動をベースに交流を行い、信仰の道でお互いを励まし合う目標を持っています。毎月、メンバーの一人がイベントを考え、参加できる人が参加すれば良い。

On a semi-regular basis, we have organised lunches in the Ministry Centre and these are a great way to get to know people and to deepen friendships. Even when there are no formally organised lunches, the Ministry Centre remains open after church for anyone to stay and share a meal with others (there is a supermarket nearby to purchase lunches).

教会では、昼食をともにするイベントを不定期に開催しています。お互いを知り合い、友情を育む良い機会です。特にイベントがない時でも、礼拝の後、教会で昼食をともにすることができます。(近くに昼食を買えるスーパーがあります)
