Paige Kornelsen - for healing for Paige and strength for her family, Greg & Ange, and brother Owen Please pray... *That the Holy Spirit would be ever present at Eastview Community Church, in our leadership teams and staff, within the volunteers, and in and through our congregation. Pray that we as a church would listen for God’s voice, and that we would hear, and obey in unity and in response to the Holy Spirit’s leading. *That we would love lavishly - with open arms and hearts. *That we would reach out to each other, and to those who are hurting. May we reach out to those who may not feel they have a voice, or hope, to those who are discouraged or sick, to those who are helpless, to those who God places in our path. May we also be honest with each other in admitting that we all have broken places in our lives, and that we would be willing to walk this journey together. May we be a church of prayer. *For our Leadership Board, Property & Finance, and Missions Committee *For the ministry at One88 Princess *For the Remand Prison Ministry *For Forward House, for Peter, and the staff and men in the program *For the Willowdale Church in Tyndall MB, pastors Norm & Gwen Neufeld *For Dave & Louise Sinclair Peters, as they minister in Thailand and Burma and their influence in the community *For the women who are incarcerated at Headingly Correctional Institute – also the staff and volunteers The ECC Prayer Room (#108) is open every Sunday morning for a time of reflection and prayer.
