CECE Theme 2026: Renewed Through the Living Word
English Sunday Service — 19th July 2026
A warm welcome to everyone worshipping with us!
We pray you know God’s grace and peace today.
Speaker: Pastor Robin Yap
Topic: The Prodigal Son
Scripture: Luke 15:11-32
Announcements
- CECE’s three-year initiative ‘To become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ’ launched this year. The theme for 2026 is ‘Renewed Through the Living Word‘. Let us all learn to empty ourselves and be renewed by God’s word.
- Joint service and holy communion will take place next Sunday 26/7.
- Sunday School will resume on 16th August. Church is in search for new Sunday School teachers and helpers for the coming school year. If you are interested in serving, please contact the church staff.
- Gift Aid is an arrangement that allows charities (including churches) to reclaim tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer. This means every £1 donation will be worth 25p more, at no extra cost to the giver. If you are a UK taxpayer and have not completed a Gift Aid form, please download and complete the form here (one-off donation / multiple donations) and return it to a church staff as soon as possible.
- Since some local banks have started charging fees for cash deposits into accounts for charities, the church encourages everyone to use online banking or direct debit for offerings where possible to help reduce these costs. Thank you for your cooperation.
- Vicky Lee will be on annual leave 15/7-30/7 inclusive. Rev Wai Cheung Wong will be on leave 20-24/7 inclusive.
Prayer Requests
For church ministry
- The church theme for 2026 is ‘Renewed Through the Living Word‘. We pray that the Lord will continue to draw us along, using this new theme and related plans to help brothers and sisters in Christ learn, listen, and allow their spiritual lives to be renewed and transformed.
- Pray for the pastoral team of the church, that the Lord may keep them and watch over their physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
- Pray for the Children’s Sunday School ministry, particularly the Kindergarten–P1 and P6–S1 classes, as well as the after church children’s gathering. Ask the Lord to raise up and equip suitable people to serve in these ministries, so that together they may help nurture and strengthen the children’s faith and spiritual growth.
For individual needs
- Pray for those who are physically weak, mentally tired and emotionally burdened these days. Pray for peace of mind and body, spiritual rest and strength.
- The university students have finished their semester or will soon graduate. We pray that the Lord will guide them through their summer break and post-graduation plans, granting them peace, protection, and wisdom from Him to lead them on their future paths.
For the world
- Please continue to pray for peace and the political situation around the world. Although the United States and Iran agreed to end hostilities last month, tensions have risen again. May the Sovereign Lord rule over the nations, calm the conflict, and grant lasting peace, security, and stability to all people.
