CityLight 10.12.09 Update

Hi CityLight Family,

Just some prayer requests and a few updates following:


Prayer Requests

Alberto & Ilga: God's favor as they teach the Word and disciple the Slovaks that God brings into their lives. May He use them greatly in this city!

Tom & Debbie: a permanent location for the Good Sports "drop off" youth center; further opportunities and potential partnerships.

Erik: More Slovaks to be saved, focus on God's plan, potential "better" job.

Patrick & Ivetka: To stay focused on Jesus alone, wisdom & discernment with leading at CityLight, being a better witness to those around. Pray for our boys, especially Gabriel, as they are not behaving well lately. Wisdom, grace & patience as parents.

Aki & Kieko: Continued good health & pregnancy for Kieko. Wisdom & providence for their family as they anticipate returning back to Japan next year.

CityLight: That we can be a light to the community. That we will seek to be servants and ministers of His love to those we are in contact with. For many people in Bratislava to know Him.

Updates:

Kids: The Kids ministry will be a bit more "seasonal" this month. Ilga Melo will be taking the children during the 2nd half of worship to teach them Christmas songs. Then on Dec. 20th the kids will have a chance to show off their talent during an extended worship time.

WANTED!: There are still two Sunday School slots open for this month, Dec 20th & 27th, any takers? If YES, please email: patrickivetka@gmail.com. Thanks!

Men's Breakfast: The next Men's Breakfast Fellowship is on December 19th! We will be wrestling with the theme of Advent together. For more info CLICK!

Also, pics from the last Men's Breakfast: CLICK!

StirUp: Some thoughts from last weeks teaching: "Pregnant with Expectation"

Thanks!: Thank you all for serving each other each Sunday in so many ways - leading worship, kids ministry, set up / tear down, prayers, encouragement, cookies, smiles and hugs.... it is a blast for me to watch His love being manifested in all of you as you serve each other. It's so healthy & good and I'm blessed to be around you all. God is good in you!

Have a blessed week, see you on Sunday!

Patrick + Ivetka
