MCI 23rd Church Anniversary - TODAY a) We praise God who has led us through the years of ministry @ Teck Whye community. Let’s celebrate His goodness and commit ourselves to serving His purpose. b) Prayer Cushions will be presented to all worshippers. We encourage you to develop a life of Prayer based on the Word of God. c) Group Photography Session will take place immediately after the Service @ JPG Hall. d) You are invited to a Film Show entitled “Irreplaceable”. 1.15 pm | JPG Hall | Admission is Free | Our families play a vital role in our lives and well-being. But the culture and media seem bent on redefining what “family” is. Are there really many definitions? Are we seeing the end of what is "traditional" family? And what does our faith have to say about all of this? This is Focus on the Family’s latest documentary, featuring their research all over the world for answers. Due to the nature of the movie, it is suitable for those aged 15 years and above. 3. Prayer Concerns a) Church Theme for 2015: Engaging Members with God’s Word. Pray that the Lord will bless and direct our hearts in developing this theme and that all will support its program and activities. [ The Day of the LORD ] “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Joel 2:28 b) Church 23rd Anniversary. Pray for the Lord’s continued anointing on our pastors, staff, leaders, members and friends as we celebrate His faithfulness in leading us through the years. The heavens praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. Psalm 89:5 c) Church Camp 2015. Pray for the Committee in organizing this camp. Pray for speakers, registration, logistics, resources etc… They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere 42 2 hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47 d) Community Outreach. Pray that MCI will continue to be God’s Beacon of Light that shares His love with the community and world. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 e) Conflict resolution among those who are going through difficult tensions. The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11 f) Compassion of Christ for those who are poor and needy and those going through trials and suffering. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15 g) Covenant that was made or renewed at the beginning of this New Year. May His Spirit enable and encourage us to remain faithful to Christ always. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” Genesis 9:16 Let’s continue to pray unceasingly.
