Thank God for those willing to take up leadership positions and to serve to the local church in this way.
The Wardens and Church Council: unity in the Spirit as they seek discernment on various matters & clarity on God’s leading in all decisions.
For our new Pastor, Harrison and his wife Susan – that they may quickly settle into life at TCE and know God’s leading and empowering as they minister amongst us; growing and equipping us for ministry and mission.
For Jan as Reader and all he does to support services and the upkeep of the building.
Ministry Teams: website & newsletter content, website & server administration, music, welcome, sound, beamer, coffee, cleaning — that all may be done for the glory of God.
Cell Groups – encouraging one another to grow and keep running the race with eyes fixed on Christ. For Lynne and Divya as they co-ordinate this work.
All who serve may do so with humility and joy.
