CityLight: May 31 – June 6th

“From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’“ Acts 17:26-28a

CityLight Update: 17-23/5/2010

Dear CityLighters,


As we approach the celebration of Pentecost this Sunday I would encourage you to pray that the Holy Spirit would guide you & our church in the next days & months. Many of us are seeking “next steps” and feel we are in those rudderless boats we spoke about on Sunday. But know that God has wonderful things planned and He promises to reveal those things by His Spirit (1Cor 2:9-10). So just ask!

Blessings,
Patrick + Ivetka

CityLight Causes:

60 Beds: Heather Eccles is heading up a project to raise funds to buy 60 new beds for the Diagnostic Center (like an orphanage).

Upcoming ways to help:
1. Bake Sale May 23 after church. God loves a cheerful giver… and in this case eater!
2. Got beds, bedding, mattresses, tables, chairs or wardrobes you or your friends need to get rid of? Donate it to the Diagnostic Center.
3 Sahar Khoury from the International Baptist Church cuts hair and has offered to give all donations for her services to the Center if we mention this. (contact Heather)
4. DOMINIC is spearheading an effort to raise money for this cause, and if he raises 1,000 he'll buzz off all his hair! (Ask Dominic for how to make your bid!)
5. Direct donations? via City Light (we will have envelopes available for donations)

If you have any questions or some crazy ideas how to raise funds pass them on to Heather (eccleshm@mail.masters.edu). Please pray for this need & project!

ps... that great cookie making VIDEO

The Sold Project: Please keep our very own Mike + Heather Colleto in your prayers as they tour America sharing the vision of SOLD and the needs of women & children who are victims of human trafficking.

CityLight Update: 10-16/5

Dear CityLight family,

Today I was reminded in a lecture by Mr. Walter Hooper, personal secretary & friend of C.S.Lewis, that “Unless a grain of wheat fall into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (Jn 12:24) There is so much that we run after in this life to fulfill our own desires & dreams. Yet, there is such a greater reward in being spent on Him. For as the same passage continues - “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” (v25) What a great prize, what good fruit - Life….”and that more abundantly!”

This week I’m including in the CityLight update a few ways you can spend & be spent for Jesus. Also, please serve one another in prayer (see list below).

Be blessed & be a blessing,
Patrick + Ivetka

All Parents!!! : I would like to ask you to pray for all the CityLight kids & Sunday School teachers. The last few weeks have been very rough with many distractions and misbehavior with most of the kids during the class time. We really need your parental support and ask that you remind your children of what is expected of them if they wish to attend the classes. Please also pray for a better space to serve the kids in and also a helper for the 4 & under group. Thank you for your help!
