PRAYERS

Prayer and praise will be our power house: ‘“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” We urge all believers to raise up the church in prayers, expecting God to move and act. Jesus says the harvest is already plentiful but we must pray (Mt 9:38). Let us continue the habit of spending time with God daily. Let CCC to be a house of prayer for all peoples.

Pray for brothers and sisters in Christ:

• For healing and strength for those with ongoing medical treatment, chronic pain, or hospitalization. May they and their family members find peace and courage as they trust God.
• Thank God for the staff and volunteers who keep daily operations and programs of the church running.
• Thank God for ministry coworkers willing to learn the new a/v system in the sanctuary.
• Pray that God will comfort those who mourn.
• Pray for the newcomers who came to the Restaurant Fellowship outreach – ask God to encourage them to be persevering seekers.
• Pray for our children embarking on summer vacation – may they have a summer of rejuvenation after several months of serious study.
• Pray for those contemplating church membership – that the Holy Spirit will lead them to clear understanding about eternity.

Pray for needs of the church:

• Pray that we may focus our prayers and activities on reaching out. The theme – Building a People for God’s Kingdom: Making Christ Known – continues for this year. Pray that we each make it a priority to share Christ.
• Pray for a smooth transition to our newly renovated worship spaces.
• Pray for a clear understanding of how God wants us to develop leadership and handle administration in our church.
• Pray for Summer Retreat planning as the church family prepares to grow in their relationship with Christ.
• Pray for the camp that our short-term missioners may impart the love and word of God among the students, teacher aides and parents.
• Pray for energy, unity and resolve in accomplishing the goals of CCC.

This Week’s Sermon Reflection:

• How many people at church know about the things that God has done in my life?
• How many people outside of church know about the things that God has done in my life?
• What are ways in which we can share more of what God is doing in our life?
