Announcements

  1. A warm welcome to everyone who joined us this morning. We are delighted to see you all.

  2. Praise the Lord! The AGM was successfully concluded on 27th July, and all resolutions were smoothly passed. On that day, Ophelia Mok and Tina Wong were also elected as the two members representatives for the 2024-2025 Deacon Nomination Committee, with Cindy Chiu elected as the substitute representative. Once again, we thank the members for their participation and for their care and support of the matters of the church.

  3. 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 01/09. 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.

  4. The church will be cleaning the carpets and conducting pest control services on Monday, 12th August, in the morning. We kindly ask all members and co-workers not to schedule any activities or visits to the church on that day.

Mission News

  1. S & C are preparing for summer activities. Please pray for their pastoral care of local church leaders and coworkers.

  2. H & P organised a mission day, attracting a group of Burmese friends to help with decorating, cooking, and cleaning. The English classes in the community also formed a fellowship group of young people. Pray that the Lord will grant strength and wisdom to serve these unreached people.

  3. Remember Pastor Janet Tam's frequent journeys during the rainy season to serve in Smiling Lanka and Galle, which are over a hundred kilometres away. Pray for the Lord's peace. Pastor Tam will be on furlough in Hong Kong from next month to October; pray for God's guidance!

  4. Praise the Lord! H & Y have excelled in their academic performance this semester and are now entering a three-month summer vacation. Pray for their leadership of short-term mission teams and training courses, as well as for missions to surrounding cities. Pray for the Lord's protection in their service.

  5. James Che and Jessica have returned safely to serve in the Ethiopian church. Jessica has completed her master's degree in theology. Pray for their health and strength to work for the Lord!


Prayer Items for the Week

Reflecting on the sermon: 

  1. For Boldness to Invite Others: Pray that God would give us the boldness to invite others to come and see Jesus, just like Andrew and Philip did. Ask that we would trust God to guide us in reaching out to those who need Him.

  2. For Open Hearts: Pray that those who are invited would have open hearts and be ready to experience the love and power of Jesus. Ask God to remove anything that might keep them from accepting the invitation.

  3. For God’s Transforming Power: Pray that as people come to Jesus, they would experience His life-changing power. Ask that God would work in their lives, drawing them closer to Him and deepening their faith.
