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.

Prayer Items for this Week
Pray that we would centre our whole lives on Jesus, not living divided lives but seeking to honour Him in all that we do.
Pray that our words and actions in the ordinary moments of life would reflect Christ. May we follow Him faithfully in both the seen and unseen parts of our daily lives.
Pray that we would not live by our own effort, but with thankful hearts for God’s grace. May gratitude shape our obedience and deepen our joy in following Him.
