A Time…
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.”
Ecc 3:1
During 2007 our church has continued to add people to its services and ministries. Last week over 650 people attended our services and we started using the new part of our property at the Ministry Centre.
“A time to tear down and a time to build.”
Ecc 3:3
Yet over the same period of time 6 of our church families have been grieving the loss of a close member of the family while 3 babies have been born.
“A time to be born and a time to die”
Ecc 3:4
Further 33 members of our church have had significant surgery or a hospital stay since January. We’ve had 2 church family weddings with another one next week.
“A time to weep and a time to laugh”
Ecc 3:4
Financially, many families are experiencing significant hardship which in turn appears to be affecting our church finances. Please pray because many of our church are feeling spiritually attacked at this time. And Satan would like nothing better than to undermine our faith in God.
Also many of you who are in a relative “season” of plenty may need to consider how you can help our church maintain its care, ministries and outreach during this time of testing and challenge.
