Rejoice in the Lord always
​
Please join to pray for the advance of the gospel among us and through us, to the glory of God.
Each term we have a church-wide prayer meetings to bring our praise and requests to God.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
