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 be people who do not grow weary in doing good, trusting that God sees every act of kindness — however small — and that His harvest comes in His timing. May we be especially generous to our brothers and sisters in Christ, building one another up in love.

  • Pray for the Sri Lanka Short-Term Mission Team (Pastor Herman Yeung, Mance Chan, Kallen Chan, and Oliver Kuik) as they depart in just two weeks. May God grant them unity, strength, and joy as they prepare to serve alongside Rev Janet Tam. Pray that every act of kindness and every word shared would point people to Jesus.

  • Pray that our church would be known in our community as a people who do good — not to earn favour, but out of love for God and others. May the Grill & Chill and Mid-Autumn Festival Outreach be opportunities to show Christ's warmth and welcome to those who don't yet know Him.
