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 and their influence in the community *For the women who are incarcerated at Headingly Correctional Institute – also the staff and volunteers *For Dave & Louise Sinclair Peters, as they minister in Thailand and Burma 365 Police Prayer Watch - Oct 25-31 (see insert for specific prayer items) The ECC Prayer Room (#108) is open every Sunday morning for a time of reflection and prayer.

What’s Happening in Missions? The workers are few …

Luke 10:2 Jesus told them,“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

So go … Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

And love ... Matthew 22: 36-39 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

And pray ... Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And do ... James 2: 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

WORSHIP

Contact: steve@eastview.org

... from psalm 40 Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols. O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them. Gratefulness. To all those who are involved in Worship Ministry - Music or Tech. The heartbeat of the local church is a gathering of people searching for the heart of God - and it’s clear that we are in this together for God’s purposes. Want to join us? Contact Pastor Steve for further information steve@eastview.org
