Hope Lives

Luke 24 

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. ² They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. ⁵ In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them,

“Why do you look for the living among the dead?

⁶ He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ⁷ ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”

⁸ Then they remembered his words.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?”    John 11:25

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE  -  HOPE LIVES

 

The Morning After

On this Morning After   .....the US Election. 

I want to encourage you and all our CPC family to pray for our leaders, starting right here at home in the Comox Valley. Our leaders whether they know it, believe it or not are in need of the generosity of your prayer. 

When you pray, you are making a difference, not only in their lives but also here in our community, our province, our nation and even nations. 

Remember........
There are many great reasons for our prayers. 

"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thankgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."  1 Timothy 2:1-4

Urging you on &
praying with you.

Prayer & Response for Hurricane Sandy’s Victims
Friday November 2, 2012

Please pray for the millions of victims affected by Hurricane Sandy in various regions, including Canada and the United States. Pray for comfort for those mourning the loss of loved ones, those facing the loss or severe damage of their homes, and those recovering from the trauma of the experience. Pray that aid and rescue workers will be able to reach those most in need of food, water, shelter and medical assistance, and that clean-up efforts will go smoothly.

ERDO’s partner, the Assemblies of God humanitarian relief organization Convoy of Hope, is conducting disaster response efforts in New York and New Jersey as millions of people continue to be affected by the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Convoy of Hope says, “We’ve already distributed more than 150 tons of relief supplies including food, water, blankets and cleaning supplies in hard hit communities in New York’s Long Beach and Staten Island as well as Bayonne and Jersey City in New Jersey.” More supplies are en route from Convoy’s Centre in Springfield, Missouri. Working with local assemblies and church groups, by the end of the weekend Convoy of Hope expects to have distributed an additional 80,000 lbs of supplies.

Any funds received at the PAOC International Office will be forwarded to our ministry partner, Convoy of Hope.  

With thanks,

(If you would like to donate you can designate an offering at Comox Pentecostal Church and mark ERDO/SANDY on your envelope.  It will be forwarded.)
