Some time ago, we felt the need to call our church to pray for our ministry to our community. We want God to work, and we can’t afford to rush ahead.

Most of all, we need God to change us so that we have his heart for our community. We invite you to join us this coming Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for a very important morning of prayer.

Pray because it matters. Pray relationally. And pray audaciously on Sunday!

The job of every Christian is to pray. Plain and simple. Yet we want to do more than simply pray. We want to do something important for God; we want to be someone important to Him. We want to build; we want to mobilize; we want to show our strength and exert our influence. Prayer seems like such a small thing to do - next to nothing at all in fact.

But that's not what Jesus said. To Him prayer is everything; it's a duty as well as a privilege, a right as well as a responsibility. We use prayer as a last resort; Jesus wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all...

Prayer is our business, our only business. Prayer is our holy occupation. Plain and simple.

This Sunday at 10:30 a.m. we'll be asking (and answering) the question, "How are we supposed to pray?"

We all struggle with prayer. The late British pastor Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said, "Of all the activities in which the Christian engages, and which are part of the Christian life, there is surely none which causes so much perplexity, and raises so many problems, as the activity which we call prayer."

This Sunday at 10:30 a.m. we'll be looking at the answer to the question, "Why pray?" We invite you to join us.

If you haven't had your picture taken for the photo directory, or if you know someone who missed the first two photo sessions, there is one more chance. A photographer is coming to Richview Friday April 13, 2007 between 4:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to take pictures. Please sign up for your free picture at the Information Centre, or call the church office to sign up.

Summer is around the corner! If you are thinking about buying some T-shirts (which we all do for those hot summer days), ask Chris Beatty Jr. or Evelyne Debana to show you the ones we have. They cost $ 7.00 each and we have all sizes available.

We're coming into the most important time in the Christian calendar, and we invite you to commemorate Good Friday and Easter with us.

On Friday at 10:30 a.m. we'll mark Good Friday with a communion service.

On Sunday at 10:30 a.m., we'll be celebrating Resurrection Sunday by asking what difference Easter makes to our lives today.

Please join us!
