Let us remember the joy of giving and the blessings it brings to both the giver and the receiver. Tithe offering is a duty of all Christians. By giving, we honour God and fulfill His work through our church. May God bless the offering we willingly give.

Prayer Items for this Week
Pray that as we receive Holy Communion today and reflect on John 20:19-23, we would be freshly gripped by the risen Christ's commission to us — "As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." May we receive His breath of peace and go as His witnesses into every corner of our lives.
Pray that Mission Month would be a transforming season for our church — that as we reflect on the theme "This Changes Everything," we would not merely be informed but deeply changed in how we understand God's heart for the nations and our part in His mission.
Pray for the Deacon Nomination Committee as it begins its work, including lay representatives Charlie Mak, Mance Chan, and alternate Yvonne Zhang. Ask God to guide the process with wisdom, unity, and discernment as they prepare nominations for the next season of church leadership.
