From the Passage	Gracious Heavenly Father, Our hearts are prone to wonder, too dull to gauge the worth of gospel harvest, prone to cling on to our resources for security. And so we look to you for help with our hearts. Father you have always been gracious throughout the ages, and so we plead with you that you’d bless us with renewed hearts. Renewed hearts that can cheerful give generously to the kingdom. Help us to trust you to provide for us bread to eat and seed to sow. Help us to trust that you will use our giving to do wondrous things for your people. Help us to know the worthiness of our infinitely precious saviour, that no gift is too excessive, but He is worthy of it all. Be gracious to us Father, change us in our hearts and lead our hands to action. In Jesus we pray, Amen

Church Ministries	Evangelism teams Gracious Lord, we thank You for entrusting us with the mission of sharing the Gospel and for continually opening doors for our church to connect with our community and meet new people. Give us hearts that love others and eyes that are attentive to the people You place around us. Help us to bear witness to Christ with courage and sincerity in our daily lives, bringing the hope of the Gospel to those we meet. Lord, we especially thank You for the two days of outreach at the recent CanCare Expo. Thank You for the opportunities to connect with many people in the community through our stall activities, Gospel tracts, and information about our church, and for the conversations and sharing that took place. We pray that You would use every Gospel seed that was sown and continue to work in people’s hearts, stirring in them a desire to know more about the Gospel and, in Your perfect timing, to come to know Jesus Christ more deeply. Please continue to strengthen and unite our evangelism team as we serve together in outreach, invitations, and follow-up ministries. Give us wisdom not only to sow the seeds of the Gospel, but also to patiently build relationships, care for, and walk alongside those we meet. May every encounter become an opportunity for You to work in their lives. Continue to use our church as a faithful witness for You in our community. Help us not to rely on our own methods or abilities, but on the power of the Holy Spirit as we faithfully proclaim Christ. May more people come to know You through us, experience Your love, and receive the new life and hope that are found in Christ. Amen.
Groups in Church	Cantonese congregation Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your faithful hand upon our Cantonese congregation. Through Your Word, our fellowship, and our service together, we continue to experience Your faithfulness and grace. Please continue to build us up, that we may know You more deeply as the one true God—not only knowing about You, but allowing our lives to be continually renewed and transformed as we grow in our knowledge of You. Lord, may the love of Christ enlarge our hearts, so that we may accept and love one another with generous hearts, showing greater grace, patience, and sincerity in our relationships. When we face our own weaknesses, limitations, and different challenges, help us not to rely on ourselves, but to depend on Your grace, trusting that Your power is made perfect in weakness. Strengthen and unite all our ministry teams. Help us to serve together with humility and sincerity, not for ourselves, but for the building up of Your church and the glory of Your name. May everything we do reflect the love and grace of Christ. May our Cantonese congregation truly become a community that knows You and makes You known. Give us generous hearts to love one another and to reach out to those around us, so that through our lives and our fellowship, more people may see Christ, come to know Your grace, and receive the hope and new life of the Gospel. Amen.
