Pastoral Epistle – August 30, 2023

Beloved Congregation,Greetings in Jesus!“I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.“  Ezekiel‬ ‭34‬:‭26
As we enter a new month, God promises showers of blessings on His people.  In the right season He will pour His blessings on us.  We must eagerly expect our blessing from God.  
Special Prayers for our children:  This Sunday we will have a special prayer time for our children as they prepare to go to school and university.  We are thankful for God’s blessings last year and we will fervently pray for blessings in the new academic year.  Come with your Backpacks. Please continue to pray fervently for our upcoming events and for each of us who have taken up responsible positions for the Centenary Celebrations.  
As we enter September we prepare for changes in weather;   summer is gone and fall is approaching;  we will experience changes in our children’s education, changes in our work etc.  May God guide us and bless each member of our family.
