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:

  • As we reflect on God’s provision in the wilderness, pray that we will learn to trust Him daily. May we remember that God sees our needs and provides in His timing and in His way, and help us rely on Him instead of worrying about tomorrow.

  • Pray for the Sri Lanka short-term mission team as they continue their training and preparation. Ask the Lord to guide them, unite them in service, and prepare their hearts to be faithful witnesses of Christ.

  • Pray for the upcoming Grill & Chill gathering on 29 March, that it will be a welcoming and joyful time of fellowship. May God use this event to build community, encourage friendships, and open opportunities for meaningful conversations and outreach.
