CECE Theme 2025: United in Witness

A warm welcome to everyone worshipping with us!
We pray you know God’s grace and peace today.

Speaker: Pastor Thiu Elias
Topic: Being Kingdom Citizens: Stewardship
Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:11-27

The church’s theme for 2025 is ‘United in Witness‘. We pray that we will be able to follow the Bible’s teaching and practise unity, so that we can become witnesses of God’s love.
The Children Sunday School will resume on 17 August. Instead a Summer Club spiritual programme runs for P2-P5 children on Sundays during worship time. Parents are asked to drop off their children in person and pick them up after the service.
Children’s Sunday School is now recruiting a number of teachers and helpers for the next school year. Please contact Lydia if you are interested in joining the ministry.
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.
Rev Wai Cheong Wong will be on annual leave from 16/7-31/7 inclusive.

Pray that our Lord will guide us through this year’s theme ‘United in Witness’, that we can be faithful to the teachings of the Bible and practise unity, and be a witness to God’s love.
Please pray for Pastor Thiu and his family and his ministry with CECE.

The summer holiday has begun and many people are going on holiday. Pray that God will keep them safe and will enjoy spending time together. Also pray that God will help the young people to enjoy their summer holidays, and that they will also grow in their faith.
Pray for the students who are graduating from university. Please pray for God to show them the right path after they finish their studies, whether that means finding a job or going to university. May they feel at peace and guided by God.
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.

Pray for the people hit by the floods in central Texas, USA. At least 120 people, 36 of them children, have died and more than 170 people are missing as a result of flooding caused by extremely heavy rainfall. Pray for the Lord’s grace and mercy to be with all the affected people and their families, and for them to be comforted.
