"Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and priviledge in Christ, and expect great things!" - Andrew Murray

Dear EIC

We hope very much that you'll be able to come along to our CORPORATE PRAYER MEETING this evening, Thursday 27th January, to round off our month of prayer for the pastor search effort. The sanctuary will be open at 7 pm, when you can come in and pray as you feel led, on your own or in small groups. From 8 to 9 pm, everyone will come together to pray, led by members of our search committee. At 9 pm, drinks and snacks will then be served in the Fellowship Hall.

THIS SUNDAY 30TH JANUARY
There'll be 2 services at 10 am and 11:30 am. Our guest preacher this week is Stephen Rosemin. There'll also be Sunday School for children at 10 am, and Children's Church, Youth, and Adults Sunday School at 11:30 am.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
At 11:30 am in the Loft, led by Mack Riggs. The topic this week is "Treasures and Pearls" from the "Parables" series and based on Matthew 13:44-46.

The retreat will be FREE and rides will be organised for those without cars so why not invite a friend? Sign up sheets will be available from this Sunday.

MISSION TRIP TO PORTUGAL WITH HFH - 2 PLACES LEFT!!

We'll be working alongside a team from Habitat for Humanity to help build a home in the town of Gomide, Vila Verde (north east of Porto). Each participant must pay for their flight and insurance; the rest of the money we hope to get through find raising events and offerings.
Cut off for registering will be 30th January. Please contact Ruth Frost, ruthfrost@eicparis.org, if you'd like to sign up or if you have questions.

We look forward to seeing you this evening and at the weekend!

The EIC Staff

"Every man or woman whose life has ever counted for God has been a person of prayer. A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. A prayerless Christian is also a contradiction because we should yearn for fellowship with the One who redeemed us. Throughout the Bible and the history of the church, those who made the greatest impact for God were those who prayed the most." - Billy Graham
