Playground Fence Working Bee – Volunteers Needed

"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57 (ESV)

Read Matthew 16:13-20 (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:57; John 11:25)
- Rejoice & give thanks that God has assured us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:57)
- Marvel that Jesus said not even the 'gates of hell’ (from the Greek, pulai hadou meaning ‘realm of the dead’) would prevail against Christ’s forming & building the church!
- Give thanks that not even death can separate us from the Love of God to us in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39)
- Pray that the Holy Spirit might help you to live in light of these truths this week and to not give up serving the Lord because of roadblocks of opposition or discouragement.
Pray for the GriefShare course that begins next Thursday.
Pray for our Seniors as they seek to serve the Lord in their retirement.
- Pray that God might bless them as they declare the goodness & greatness of God to the next generation (Ps. 71:18).
- Pray for their time together in God’s word next Friday as their monthly Discipleship Group meets here at the church.
- Pray too that we would be a church community that honours & respects our elders (Lev. 19:32).
Pray for our Pastoral Care Team (& for Jan, who coordinates the team) as they seek to provide prayer & practical support for those in our community who are in need. Pray for wisdom as they seek to bring the hope of Christ to those who are hurting, or facing challenges in their health, relationships, work or families.
Pray for the Lord to lead us as we once again begin a season of concerted prayer as a church family.
- We are seeking the Lord’s will as we consider ways to address some of our practical challenges; such as how to cater for a growing faith community with limited space and an aging building etc..
- Note: If you would like to join us on this journey we are hosting weekly in-person prayer opportunities on Tuesday evening’s (6pm-7pm) and Thursday afternoon’s (2pm-3pm) here at the church.
Pray for our Youth Group which meet’s on Friday’s during the school term.
- Pray for Kylie (who is coordinating while Dylan is away) and the team of volunteer leaders who faithfully serve each week.
- Pray for Amy, Kaylee & Lacey who lead our Youth Girls Discipleship group.
- Pray for the students who attend each week (either on Friday nights, Sunday’s or at the Youth Girls Discipleship Group).
- Pray that these young people will respond in faith to the good news of the gospel, and that those who are trusting in Jesus death & resurrection will grow in their knowledge of God and His word.
Pray for our Community Carols planning. There is a small team working behind the scenes in preparation for our December 6th event. Pray for wisdom as they seek the Lord’s guidance in preparation for this outreach opportunity.
Pray for our ministries that are seeking more volunteers to join their teams: Men’s ministry (coordinator), Missions team (coordinator), Music Team (Keys, Strings, Percussion), Production Team (Sound & Media), Church Council (members).
Continue to pray for those who are unwell, have medical needs or are awaiting (or recovering from) surgery.
Continue to pray for those who are attending the Christianity Explored course on Sunday afternoons.
Continue to play for a friend, family member, work colleague or neighbour who does not know Jesus.
