Announcements
A warm welcome to everyone who joined us this morning. We are delighted to see you all.
56th Baptism will be held on 06/10 as a combined service for all three congregations. For those who want to be baptised, please contact any Deacon, Pastor or your Small Group Leader. The deadline is today. All baptism applicants are required to have their nurturing course completed. Once an application is received, baptism class will be arranged and the deacons will meet with you to confirm your faith. Please also contact us if you would like to have your church membership transferred to HWC or would like to have child dedication.
Mission Sunday Response Form: In addition to regularly praying for missionaries and participating in short-term mission trips, we encourage members to support overseas missions (M4) through offerings. The budget for this year is $30,700.00. You may give as you are moved and by faith. Please submit your pledge online at https://forms.gle/xYrykzQW1quAJb386. May the Gospel be spread widely, and may God's name be glorified!
The church administrator Stanley will be on leave from 4th September to 15th September. During this period, Elain Law will temporarily assume the duties of the secretary. Her working hours will be Wednesday and Thursday (9:30 am - 2:00 pm), Friday (full day), and Saturday (1:30 pm - 5:00 pm).
Mission News
S & C – The school summer break is their busiest time, serving students and parents. Please pray for their physical, mental, and spiritual strength!
Remember H & P’s ministries: the mission home is about to start classes, a special meeting is arranged for parents in the community tutoring program, and they will be hosting a short-term mission team in mid-August. Pray for the Lord to strengthen them!
Reverend Janet Tam has returned to Hong Kong for reporting duties until October and has been invited to share her burdens at more than ten churches. Pray for the Lord to use her!
During this summer break, H & Y are visiting new believers in nearby cities to strengthen them. Additionally, their long-unseen son unexpectedly visited, and they had a wonderful time together. Thank God!
Missionary James Che and his wife first went to establish a church in Ethiopia for a period and then returned to serve local believers in Tanzania. Pray for the Lord to keep them safe and bless their steps!
Nicholas Yao from the English congregation has started a campus evangelism outreach this term. Pray for the Lord to use him and for the spirit of revival to come upon the campus, so the gospel may be widely spread!
Prayer Items
Pray for the Courage to Show Christ-like Love: Ask God to give us the courage to seek out and support those who are going through difficult times, just as Onesiphorus did for Paul. May we not shy away from standing with others in their struggles, even when it is inconvenient or challenging.
Pray for a Heart of Compassion and Presence: Pray that we may embody the selfless and unconditional love that Paul describes, being fully present for those who feel abandoned or alone. Ask God to help us be a comforting presence and a source of encouragement to those who need it most.
Pray for Strength in Times of Trouble: Lift up those who are currently facing "troubled waters" in their lives. Ask God to provide them with strength and reassurance through the support of friends and loved ones, and that they may feel the love and comfort of Christ through the actions of others.
