In our prayers:
We continue to thank God for the fellowship here as we pray for one another. Please pray for those amongst us who are unwell and struggle with health issues. We remember also our two oldest members, Marie Firmin, having recently recovered from a broken pelvis, and for Rita Avery too. Rita, now in care, served NBC faithfully for very many years, no small number of which were as Deacon and Church Secretary. We have seen new people in our congregation recently. Please pray that God will bless and encourage those who come along, but that we may see new ‘workers in the vineyard’ also.
We are encouraged to see new people coming to our Midweek Faith Group. Please pray for those who lead and attend as the group seeks to answer some of the ‘big questions’ of life.
Finally, please pray for the persecuted church. We are such privileged people and so many Christians in different parts of the world become targets of hatred by extremists. Please pray for Christina Koh and her (now grown up) children as they seek answers to what happened to husband and dad, Pastor Raymond Koh, following his abduction in Malaysia in February 2017. Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in so many parts of the world.
