Prayer Points Below
Dear church family,
Good morning and welcome to another update.
I do hope you have been encouraged since the beginning of January as we settled into another series of online services. Paul’s words in Ephesians have been a great challenge to me as I think about the reconciling work of Christ and what that means for us.
This Sunday we will be back at 11am to continue the series in Ephesians. The passage this time is 4:1-16, ‘The Church’. Remember there is no evening service this week and therefore no communion. The next evening service with communion will be February 7th.
The leaders will continue to keep a watchful eye over the government announcements and guidelines but unfortunately, for the foreseeable future, our services will remain online.
I do believe the day will come when we will be standing together in CEC worshipping the Lord. What a day that will be!
Links for the services on Sunday will be out later in the week.
In His Grace
Burt
Prayer points
“The Most High God rules the kingdom of men, and sets over it whom He will”. Daniel 5 v21. “He executes judgement, putting down one and lifting up another” Psalm 75 v7.
God doesn’t make up His plans as He goes along. He didn’t wind up the clock and walk away. He is the one who feeds the birds, makes the grass grow for the cattle and is in charge of everything.
This is the God that we come to pray to; the God on whom we can rely in these difficult times and the God in whom we can have complete confidence. He is sovereign.
As we come to prayer let us praise the Lord for the good, good Father He is!
