Daily Prayer Request – Thursday, June 22, 2017

Pray for the spiritual temperament of HMC. Pray for God to revive us and refine us so that we burn hot for our heavenly Father. Pray that we may never be accused of being lukewarm. Ask God to give us singleness of heart and open minds to understand His Word so that our hearts are on fire for our great God.

Daily Prayer Request – Wednesday, June 21, 2017

Pray for HMC in the world. Pray that we would be known as distinct from the world in love and holiness, even as we engage outsiders. Pray that many among us would share the gospel this week—and see people come to know Christ! Pray that if persecution comes, we would remember to love, not curse, and to pray for our enemies.

Daily Prayer Request – Tuesday, June 20, 2017

Pray for our Behind-the-Scenes Workers. Thank God for every preschool and nursery worker/coffee/facilities/mission planning/bylaw/policy/finance/discernment/personnel/team member/custodian etc. devoted to serve. Pray that God would bless them for their obedience and generosity and keep them in an attitude of humility.

Daily Prayer Request – Monday, June 19, 2017

Pray for Men in Action. Pray that this ministry will build our men in their faith. Pray that they will be in right relationship with God and each other. Pray for men to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and to instruct their children with patience. Pray that they would hold each other accountable and support and encourage each other.

HMC EVENTS

It’s a Building Connections Sunday! Plan to stay after the service today and enjoy a slice of pie before heading off to your Father’s Day celebrations.

Our annual HMC Budget Meeting is this Thursday, June 22 at 7:00 p.m. We are aiming for the meeting to end by 8:00—8:30 p.m. at the latest. Members and regular attendees are encouraged to attend. Before Thursday, please think about who should be nominated for the Nomination Committee. Information about this role is available in the foyer. If you have questions you would like answered in the Ministry Council report, please get those to Ron DeVisser ASAP.

The Men in Action invite you to join in on a Family Canoe Trip on Sunday, June 25 following the service. There will be two options: 1 is a two hour trip and 2 is a four hour trip – both ending up at Bill Kranenburg’s camp for a BBQ supper. Children, grandchildren, and wives are welcome to participate. See the sign up in the foyer.

OPPORTUNITIES

If you’re thinking about being a volunteer on the Summer Slam VBS team this year, let Pastor Amos or Marie know and plan to come for a brief meeting after the service on June 25.

—Please save your old newspapers for Summer Slam crafts. These can be dropped off at the office during office hours.—

Mom’s and Tot’s is looking for someone without small children to take on a leadership role within the ministry: to help organize childcare and coordinate events/ideas (i.e. leading craft days, cooking days, arranging a Bible study), while still including and incorporating the ideas and needs of the mother’s who attend.

We are looking for volunteers to join our tech crew! If you’d be willing to sit in the sound booth once a month and run the computer (song, announcement, and sermon slides) please let the church office know.

PRAYER REQUESTS

Please pray for Rob Fletcher, (son of Chuck & Carol, father of Tiffany) who is in the hospital with a tumour on his spine. Please pray for the doctors as they work to minimize his pain, and for the family as they navigate this time.

Please continue to remember the Pastoral Search Team in your prayers. Pray for wisdom and discernment as they make important decisions regarding the future of HMC.

There is a booklet of prayer requests specific to the needs of HMC. It is being printed in small numbers with simple formatting so your suggestions can be added. We want it to be a dynamic, living, changing document. These booklets are available in the foyer, or by speaking with Karen Schmalz or Brian Austin. Alternatively, if you’d like to receive daily prayer reminders delivered to your email, you can sign up at eepurl.com/cM9ZVj
