Epiphany’s pātaka kai There is a huge need in our community as people struggle to make ends meet. Especially those will families over the school holiday break. Non-perishable items, fresh produce, and baking with clear “use by” dates are great things to put in there. Some examples include canned goods, cereals, rice, pasta, tea, coffee, UHT milk, spreads, and fresh fruits and vegetables. And pet food. Our Sunday Service’s each have boxes for donations or you are most welcome to put them in the pātaka kai when you are going past.  School is back on Monday – Let’s pray Lord Jesus, we pray for those whom You have called to teaching and all Christians involved in education. We ask you to fill them with wisdom and sound judgement in informing young minds and directing children and young people in the paths they must follow. We pray that the integrity of educators will provide a shining example of what is good and according to your purposes. We ask that teachers will know the joy of their students of whatever age following the truth and growing in a relationship with You, for we ask in Your precious name. Amen. Isaiah 48:17; Titus 2: 7-8 – Prayer courtesy of barnabasaid.org Prayer Points for This Week · Pray for God’s guidance in all decisions and for wisdom to discern His will. · Ask for strength to face challenges and courage to step out in faith. · Pray for God’s peace and joy to fill your heart and home throughout the week. · Pray for God’s peace and joy to fill our community, our country and our world.
