Please pray that we may faithfully pursue our parish vision statement during 2019:

‘THE LOVE GOD STARTED IN US, WE EMBRACE, CELEBRATE, DEEPEN,

LIVE OUT AND SHARE WITH OTHERS’

Also that we may live out the following values:

Please pray that everyone may feel called to be on a spiritual journey as a disciple

of Jesus in a life - long process of growing and maturing – growing in faith,

knowledge, prayer. That we shall all be willing to identify our God-given gifts and

be willing to be involved in at least one ministry, after the example of Jesus who

came not to be served but to serve. That we shall also commit to one programme

of faith formation for the year.

Please pray that our ministry of social outreach may be founded on God's justice

and be rooted in servanthood, that it may be something we do rather than just

speak about. That we shall both care for people’s immediate needs as well as work

towards creating more just structures in society and equip and empower people

to find ways of taking care of their own basic needs..

St Andrew, Eureka Estate

We request prayer against the ongoing gang violence in the streets of Uitsig and

Clarke Estate around St Andrews church in Eureka Estate. Innocent teenagers are


oftentimes the targets of new gang members who apparently have to shoot someone

as part of their initiation rite. Due to these tragic shootings, we are faced with the

dilemma of whether to have church services in the evenings because of the fear

amongst parishioners that they may be deliberate targets or accidental victims of such

shootings when they return home after the evening services. Many don’t have access

to a vehicle and walk to and from church. We have started our Lenten Wednesday

evening services and pray for the Lord’s protection for those who attend, and for

peace for those who fear to go out at night.
