pray for Nathan and Deborah Brown and family. Nathan’s dad has
fallen twice, broken a hip and an arm. He is now in the hospital in Decatur
with severe anemia. Pray for good decisions and peace. Mr. Brown is
94. Also, Deborah’s parents were diagnosed with
Covid on Thursday and have been very ill. Deborah’s
dad was so weak his legs wouldn’t support him, and he fell. They seem to be doing better now. Please pray for their health,
for peace, and that Deborah and Nathan stay well so they can continue
caring for their much-loved parents. We love you all and appreciate your
prayers!”

THANK YOU
Dear Central Family,
Thank you so very much for all the cards,
flowers, prayers, food and all the love shown to me. Please keep the prayers
coming because I know after 48 years of marriage, losing my best friend will be
the most difficult time in my life. Please pray I
remember the wonderful place he is now and that I will see him again. I praise
God that we can all see our loved ones again.

ASSEMBLY LESSON
SERIES: “THE
SPIRITUAL REALMS”
BEGINNING
NOVEMBER 13TH
This series follows an
exploration of God and His character by acknowledging our enemy and his hold in
our lives and this world. The set is staged by introducing the idea of
spiritual beings and reinforcing the spiritual vision that we must develop in
order to accept God’s victory and resist our enemy. The Satan is established as
the head of this rebellion, but his limitations and defeat are made apparent
through Scriptures and the victory of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is God who
conquers the enemy, not humans, but he has given us abundant wisdom on how to
address temptation, persecution, and injustice in our daily walks.
Theme Scripture: Ephesians
6:10-13

Reminders to Guyana Pen/Prayer
Pals, November 1, 2022
(a ministry of Tuesday Ladies Bible Class)
If
you attended the Prayer Pal luncheon on June 21, and received a Guyana Prayer
Pal, I hope you have written to her by now. Maybe you
received a response at your address. Also, Cheryl Etwaroo has sent a packet of
letters from Guyana and you could receive a letter
from this packet. Letters will be distributed at the Ladies class on Tuesday.
However, whether you receive a response or not, please plan to write another
letter in November and/or December. It is a great season for sharing and
encouraging and for the main focus of this ministry: Praying for the requests
of your Guyana sister and asking her to pray for you.
If
you do not have a Pen/Prayer Pal and would like one, see Janice Greenleaf.
Cheryl has sent a list of 5 more ladies at the church In
Port Kaituma who would like to get to know you and be involved in prayer with
you. Ladies class offers a writing guide with suggestions about introducing
yourself, making prayer requests and offering to pray for your Pal’s requests.
Even an example of how to address your letter to Port Kaituma is given. Let us
hear from you.
Thank
you,
Janice

PRAISE AND HARMONY WORKSHOP
As has been announced the Praise and
Harmony Workshop will be January 13-15 at Central. This workshop is for
everyone. You do not need to know music theory or be able to read music. The
workshop is structured so we can learn songs by listening which is the way most
of us learned. Between now and January we need to be preparing for the
workshop. Beginning next Wednesday, October 26, from 6 pm til 7 pm in the Old
Auditorium will begin learning new songs. We would also ask that the LIFE Talks,
all various ministries, families and individuals use your time together for
preparation. To aid in this process everyone will have access to the Praise
and Harmony website free of charge for the next 3 months. Below are the
instructions and access code to the Praise and Harmony website. Also
listed below are the songs we will be learning.
