Scripture: John 12:23-26

²³ And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the  earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁵ Whoever loves his life loses It, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

²⁶ If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

• Pray for the world as many places remain in warfare, churches are persecuted, many peoples are injured and weak physically and mentally. Pray for God’s grace and mercy in granting hope and peace to the world.
• Pray for God’s leading and guidance on the organization and serving teams of upcoming retreat, as well as summer camp. May God grant us unity, closely bond in Him to build up each other and glorify His name.
• Pray for church unity with love and accommodations in Christ among brothers and sisters in PGC that God will help us remove any barriers, conflicts and misunderstanding in our spiritual home.
• Pray for God’s wisdom to our pastors and church leaders to have biblical discernment, and our congregations be thirsty for God’s words. Let us be rooted in Christ and not be influenced by the secular world.
• Pray for Vika’s family that both her brother and mother are looking for work. May God provide for them jobs to be able to support their family and their needs in Ukraine.

Offering:

^“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

– Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

PGC needs sufficient funds to provide for the needs of our different ministries.  Let’s respond to God’s love through our faithful and generous offering.

PGC welcomes your opinions and suggestions that help us improve further on Sunday Service, Sunday School and different ministries.  Drop them into our PGC Drop Box (for Offering & Opinions Collection) at PCA Big Gym.  Our pastoral staff and church leaders will review and follow up where appropriate.  Look forward to hearing from you.
