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 13^TH

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

(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 Greenleaf
