PRAYER FOCUS

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Silver Boxes
1. We thank God for the Leaders w
ho have served faithfully through these years even in the Covid-19 pandemic, and continue to pray for each of them to filled anew as they wait upon the Lord to renew their commitment for 2023.

2. Pray for our Primary 6 students who are taking their PSLE. May they experience love and assurance of who they are in Christ and be filled with wisdom as they prepare for their exam. May the Lord guide their parents in this stressful time too.

Sonshine Kids

  1. We thank God for each and every leader who has committed to touch each child's life for Jesus and how the Lord has been bringing the new kids from Covenant Kindergarten and Hope Student Care Centre to join us.

  2. We pray for every child to grow up in wisdom, in stature and in favour with God and Man, especially in this exam season.

DISCIPLESHIP & NURTURE

  1. We thank God for Rev Dr Lim Kar Yong, enlightening the many participants to further appreciate and be inspired by Paul’s missionary journey via the Course conducted last month. We are also thankful for the staff who helped to ensure the smooth technical set up.

  2. We claim God’s strength and power to be upon the participants of the Alpha Course, the Disciple Classes, and the Baptism & Membership Class. Let’s pray the same for the Facilitators and Speakers, that all will experience joy, fruitfulness, and meaning in this important step of their discipleship journey.

  3. Pray for the D & N Team to be sensitive to God’s leading as we seek to chart out plans for the next year, in line with His heartbeat and Church direction.

  4. Let us continue and always pray for every worshipper in our Church to be blessed and growing in deeper discipleship and relationship with the Lord.
