We recognise that apart from God, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Therefore, we commit to making prayer central in all that we do, seeking God’s wisdom, strength, and blessing. We meet at the church on Thursdays 10:00 am to 11:00 am. God has done marvelous things for us in answer to prayer, and some we are yet to see. The timing is up to Him and the trusting is up to us. We still have lots to pray about and whatever we ask He can do, as Paul tells us in Ephesians, "exceedingly above all we can ask or think. " If you have a prayer need or know of someone who does, please join us. Alternatively, contact one of the elders via email at admin@howrahcofc.org.au or the Connect form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b138bac353a6aa0e7bb01/ac336496-42a9-4065-9444-b1b8ff7199be/lunch+small.jpg Join Us - Men’s and Women’s Lunches On the last Thursday of each month we meet for a shared lunch at a local restaurant, cafe or venue.

Buildings, livelihoods, and places of community were shaken to their foundations. And while the initial emergency response has passed, for many families the struggle to rebuild is far from over. Every act of compassion, every prayer, every dollar given makes a difference. Together, we can remind the people of Vanuatu that they are not forgotten—and that God’s love is steadfast even when the ground beneath us shakes. Your giving can help restore hope for those who are suffering in Vanuatu and all around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b138bac353a6aa0e7bb01/90a447f8-c713-4e0a-b215-e6928839319a/christmas+box.png Giving - October Mission: Operation Christmas Child $3000 given to support postage and delivery of over 300 shoeboxes. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It’s a hands-on way for you to demonstrate God’s love to children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts. We collect the boxes and distribute them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b138bac353a6aa0e7bb01/c6a63a28-072d-47eb-809b-0a45db4fa1af/food+flyer+image.png Giving - As part of our vision for the future, we’re excited to expand our mission focus to support our local community. Rokeby Neighbourhood House/Centre does incredible work helping families through tough times and we’re pleased to partner with them. We’ve launched The Food Cupboard – a simple yet powerful way to make a difference. A donation box is in the foyer where you can contribute long-life food items such as canned food, rice, pasta, sauces, and other pantry staples. These donations are collected and distributed by Rokeby Neighbourhood Centre to families in need. Let’s come together to share God’s love in practical ways.
