MCI NEWS & CONCERNS
1. Hi, Welcome to MCI
We belong to the family of Jesus Christ and seek to honor and
glorify God through Worship, Word, Welcome, Witness &
Wonder. We pray that you will be inspired by the worship of the
Almighty God and will experience a deeper touch of His love!
If you are our GUEST, please feel free to speak with our iWelcome hosts,
Mr Lim Joo Ming or Ms Yeo Soo Kheng or Ms Catherine Ho to learn more about
our ministry such as Sunday School, Cell Group Ministry, Prayer etc...
2. MCI 23rd Church Anniversary - TODAY
a) We praise God who has led us through the years of ministry @ Teck Whye
community. Let’s celebrate His goodness and commit ourselves to serving His
purpose.
b) Prayer Cushions will be presented to all worshippers. We encourage you to
develop a life of Prayer based on the Word of God.
c) Group Photography Session will take place immediately after the Service @ JPG
Hall.
d) You are invited to a Film Show entitled “Irreplaceable”.
1.15 pm | JPG Hall | Admission is Free |
Our families play a vital role in our lives and well-being. But the culture and
media seem bent on redefining what “family” is. Are there really many
definitions? Are we seeing the end of what is "traditional" family? And what
does our faith have to say about all of this? This is Focus on the Family’s latest
documentary, featuring their research all over the world for answers.
Due to the nature of the movie, it is suitable for those aged 15 years and above.
3. Prayer Concerns
a) Church Theme for 2015: Engaging Members with God’s Word. Pray that the
Lord will bless and direct our hearts in developing this theme and that all will
support its program and activities.
[ The Day of the LORD ] “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your
young men will see visions. Joel 2:28
b) Church 23rd Anniversary. Pray for the Lord’s continued anointing on our
pastors, staff, leaders, members and friends as we celebrate His faithfulness in
leading us through the years.
The heavens praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of
the holy ones. Psalm 89:5
c) Church Camp 2015. Pray for the Committee in organizing this camp. Pray for
speakers, registration, logistics, resources etc…
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the
breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many
wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together
and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to
anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple
courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere
42
2
hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added
to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47
d) Community Outreach. Pray that MCI will continue to be God’s Beacon of Light
that shares His love with the community and world.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good
deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
e) Conflict resolution among those who are going through difficult tensions.
The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.
Psalm 29:11
f) Compassion of Christ for those who are poor and needy and those going through
trials and suffering.
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in
love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15
g) Covenant that was made or renewed at the beginning of this New Year. May His
Spirit enable and encourage us to remain faithful to Christ always.
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the
everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the
earth.” Genesis 9:16
Let’s continue to pray unceasingly. If you have a prayer concern, you may like to
share it with our pastors or email it to prayer@mci.org.sg.
