Pray for the courage to let God use us as part of His answer. Obedience to the nudging of the Spirit is sometimes costly. God has proved Himself trustworthy, but still expects us to step out. Pray for the courage to obey even when we are terrified.
Daily Prayer Request – Monday, July 3, 2017
Thank God for the privilege of prayer. Take a few moments to reflect on the implications. The Creator of the Universe knows you by name. He is slow to anger and abounding in mercy. He loves you with an everlasting love. He invites you to come into His presence.

WORDS OF THANKS
A huge thank you to Shelley Hallberg who, over the years, has volunteered countless hours to making our sanctuary and foyer beautiful. With her keen eye for colour and aesthetics, she always made sure HMC looked its best! After serving as our decorator for a very long time, Shelley is stepping down from this ministry and we release her with many thanks, trusting a new creative person will step into her place. If you’re interested in taking on this role, please connect with the church office.
Thank you to Bill and Carolyn Pearson who blessed the staff with a home-cooked meal on Wednesday! Your gift was much appreciated and enjoyed!

Daily Prayer Request – Thursday, June 29, 2017
Consider fasting in a broader context than just food. The discipline of saying NO for a short time to something we cling to makes saying NO to other things easier. Think of coffee, chocolate, TV, computers, iPhones. If you have never fasted before, try a 12 hour fast initially. Spend a moment or two in prayer each time the craving pulls. Although it is ideally a private decision between you and God, challenging one to two others to team up with you for the same time period can be helpful.
Daily Prayer Request – Wednesday June 28, 2017
Pray for the courage to consider fasting. “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.” —Joel 2:12-23Daily Prayer Request – Tuesday, June 27, 2017
Pray for a deep love for Hanover Missionary Church. As God to help us always strive for His best for the church. Ask Him to help us be unifying forces. Ask Him to help us be encouragers.
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness. I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful.” —Jeremiah 31:3
Daily Prayer Request – Monday, June 26, 2017
