• Praise God for salvation from sin through faith in Christ Alone. Pray we’d live with freedom from sin, and give glory to God in all we do as we look forward to heaven.
• Pray for those who are unwell at the moment. Pray that we’d be a church that loves and cares for each other, and are willing to help in any way that is needed.
• Pray for the Cavanagh Family after the passing of John three weeks ago. Pray for Jeanette, Al & Rhonda and the kids, and for the whole family as they grieve their loss. Give thanks for John’s faith in God, and his trust in Christ for salvation.
• Pray for the Matthews family, particularly for Jean, as Reg passed away this week. Pray they’d comfort each other in their grief, and they’d look to Christ for comfort.
• Pray for those who manage the Church Budget Pray for the Session and the Committee of Management as they put together the Budget for next year and seek to be good stewards of Church resources, while p rov id ing fo r Gospe l m in is t r y th rough our Church activities. Pray for us as a whole Church that we would continue to give generously to see the gospel spread in Wollongbar/Alstonville and beyond.
• Pray for Ian Traise, who left for the Phillipines yesterday. Pray for a productive time with the staff and children of Safe Haven, and for many Gospel opportunities.
•The Latest Prayer Letter from the MacDonalds is on the back table. Pray for David and Gae as they connect with people remote from a church family or Christian witness, and as they look at ways technology can help solve the distance problem.
