There is a prayer time for Ukraine

this Sunday

in the Retreat Room


(last room on the left of the Education Wing)

from

9:30 AM to 9:50 AM

 
Steve will be sharing the message this Sunday

as we continue in the book of Ephesians.  

His text is Ephesians 6:14-20:


Spiritual Warfare, Part II.


------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
You'll see a new look as you enter the chapel this week: A pulpit and communion table. The purpose of the change is to make visible the priorities for worship: Music, preaching, and the Lord's Table. We had the importance of music displayed very well; seeing the importance of the Word and the sacrament was an area for improvement. 
You will be invited to come up to the communion table to receive the bread/cup and take it back to your seat. I'll lead us to receive the elements when we're seated again and ready to take it together.
We'll also be trying a new catechism class format: Holding that class during the first part of the service and coming back to join everyone at the beginning of the sermon. 
Let's see how this works out this Sunday; I look forward to worshipping with you!
Your servant in Christ's cause,
--Steve

Let's Pray For Slovakia,

Neighbors of Ukraine
Prime Minister of Slovakia,

-------------  Eduard Heger  ---------------

Nestled in the rugged Tatra Mountains of Eastern Europe, the landlocked nation of Slovakia has carved a new life from its time spent occupied by the Soviet Union and is now one of the fastest developing economies in the world.  In spite of being occupied by various empires and Nazi Germany, Slovak national pride helped to preserve both a unique language and history that continue to thrive today.

 

Since Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and Czech Republic in a peaceful settlement known as the "Velvet Divorce", Slovakia has successfully developed into a nation with a flourishing economy.  Though there is a distinct gap between rich and poor, and unemployment is still an issue being addressed, the Slovak people have instigated numerous business and government reforms to encourage growth.  Among the various ethnic groups that compromise the Slovak population is the Romani community, a small indigenous enclave that has in recent years been experiencing persecution and abuse at the hands of Slovak police.  Although authorities have been called on to end the violence, many Romani people feel they are treated as second-class citizens.

 

The country of Slovakia has undergone radical changes in the past decade alone, and one of the unfortunate changes that has taken shape in the shadow of modernization is the development of spiritual stagnation.  Though eighty to ninety percent of the population calls itself Christian, diminishing church attendance and a heavy atmosphere of nominalism shows a waning faith in the Slovak people.  Despite a traditional Christian heritage permeating Slovak culture, depression and suicide rates are some of the highest in Europe.  God's light, however, knows no bounds and He will make it shine for His people of Slovakia through those He has equipped.  Slovakia is still under the hand of the Lord and is seeking the peace and joy that only comes from Christ.

• Pray for the Slovak church to embrace a vision for planting churches, discipleship, and evangelism.

 

• Pray for seminaries and Bible schools to impart a burden for world evangelization to their students.

 

• Pray for love to be lavished upon the Romani Gypsies who would in turn be more responsive to the Gospel.


Together let's watch and pray,
The Prayercast Team
