PRAYERS

Each week we pray for members of our church family. Suggested prayers are for their spiritual growth, opportunities to see Christ in their everyday lives, and anything else that God puts on your mind for them. This week please pray for:

  • Donna V
  • Roland & Esther V
  • Len & Terry V
  • Don & Tena V
  • Ken & Elaine W
  • Joe & Barb Z

Prayer Requests from Envision Mission:  Please pray for the Rising Hope discipleship house called the Summit, that the men God has appointed will be there and receive the help they need. Jon Ng will be raising funds for that ministry of Envision and until we have the house filled that will be a financial need as well. Pray also for the Senti family and the staff as we move into the next year, seeking to be faithful. Glenda still leads the Jesus Study at the Villa with Mitchell’s help and there have already been two men desiring baptism and one who has heard the Gospel very clearly and is considering it there. We also have a man there who helps us reach out to the people and is a believer himself. Also Mitzie continues with hospitality ministry and more ideas to come!

MISSIONAL MARKER

The congregation of Hope in Christ Church has made the Spirit-filled decision to move forward and become a healthy missional church. This week’s Missional Marker is: Life transforming walk with Jesus (John 3:3, 30;  Phil. 1:6)

  • We teach our people how to be attentive to Christ in all circumstances.
  • Our people understand the radical nature of the message and mission of Jesus that continually deconstructs and reconstructs a person’s life.
  • Our people are equipped and growing in their ability to use a variety of spiritual growth resources, experiences, and settings.

Sunday School Memory Verses
