Giving
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. For more details on how you can give, please visit our church website: https://holywordchurch.org.nz/en/giving.
Prayer Items for this Week
Pray that we would learn to follow God’s guidance as Israel followed the cloud and fire. May we trust His leading, even when the way ahead is unclear.
Pray that God would teach us to wait on Him instead of rushing ahead on our own. May we grow in patience, listening hearts, and deeper trust in His timing.
Pray that we would live each day aware of God’s presence with us. May His presence bring us peace, direction, and confidence as we walk with Him.
