All ladies are invited to a Ladies Social “High Tea” to welcome Shannon Hildebrandt on Wednesday, January 24 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Upper Room. We will enjoy social time and some games to get to know each other better. Please bring your own tea cup, a friend, and a fun “high tea” snack to share. Also consider dressing for the occasion. Use your imagination!
PRAYER REQUESTS
Please continue to pray for Pastor Lyndsay. She will be remaining in the UK until at least the end of January to be with her mother after the passing of her father. Please pray that she would find rest and peace as she grieves with and cares for her family.
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to Matt and Sam Chittick who welcomed Josiah Christopher on January 6! If you’re interested in helping these new parents by providing a meal, Kristina Dyck has set up a ‘Meal Train’ for the next week. Go to www.mealtrain.com/trains/r369e2 to sign up, or contact the church office.
WORDS OF THANKS
Thank you to the Ladies Social team for organizing last Sunday’s soup luncheon! And thank you to everyone else who brought along sandwiches and desserts to share.
If you’re hanging on to offering envelopes from previous years, please discard them. Many numbers have been changed and it’s important to keep this straight for our Receipt Coordinator. Please only use your currently dated envelopes, or the pew envelopes.
It’s a new year and we are updating our database. Please take a moment today to check (or add) your information on the sheets in the foyer, and make any necessary changes.
ARE YOU TECH SAVVY or WILLING TO LEARN? We find ourselves in desperate need of more volunteers in our sound booth. Wayne has moved away from the area, leaving us without a regular computer operator and fill-in sound person. Roger has been a selfless and dependable volunteer in the booth for years now, but it’s not a job he can or should do alone. We are looking for people willing to learn the sound board and/or the computer (running announcement and worship slides). Training will be available. Please contact the church office if this is an area you can see yourself serving in.
Pray for our G2G Groups. Pray that our leaders live Godly lives. Pray that they take great care with God’s Word, and that the hearts of those in the groups would be fertile soil for that Word.
Pray that we would learn to seek God with ALL of our heart, soul, mind and strength. Pray for a renewed hunger for His presence in our lives.
Pray that we would hunger and thirst for the things of God—for righteousness. Pray that God would confront our complacency and somehow stir an intense desire in us to draw closer to Him.
Pray for Good to Prevail over Evil. Pray for protection for our HMC church body from the attacks of the enemy. Help us be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves as we deal with spiritual forces around us. Show us how to test every spirit to see if it is from God. Help us recognize the enemy’s counterfeits and schemes so that he won’t outwit us.
Pray for our Young at Heart leaders and members. Pray that we would be wise enough to tap into their wisdom and that they would be encouraged to share. Pray that whether strong and active or increasingly frail, their lives would be a testimony of the faithfulness of God. Pray for the measureless honour that one of them would take up the challenge of praying by name for you on a regular basis. Pray that we would find ways to express our respect and our love to them.
