Notices for August 13, 2017

GREETINGS AND FELICITATION

1. 1. All glory, honour and praises to God for His faithfulness and goodness that have hitherto preserved all of us. We welcome all our parishioners and other worshippers at this service. God will surround all of us with His presence and favour, and also steadily and with Divine speed fulfill His purposes in our lives and families in Jesus name.
   2. We welcome all our eminent guests (first timers) very specially and pray that God will orchestrate unusual testimonies in their lives and families in Jesus name. We appeal to them to fill the form given to them and to also wait briefly to see the ‘WELCOME TEAM” after this service. They are also enjoined to each take a copy of our bulletin for reference.
   3. Congratulatory felicitations to all the birthday celebrants of the week. We also congratulate all those who are having their wedding anniversaries this week. We wish them all longevity, robust health, sustained joy, divine peace and accomplishment in Jesus name.
2. ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUE:  Please note that our annual membership due is now minimum of N2,000= for each member. We appeal that we all register to become full members of our parish, and pay our dues promptly.
3. ECCLESIASTES 5: 4-6: when you make a vow to God, do not delay fulfilling it; for he has no  pleasure in fools.  Fulfil what you vow.  It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not fulfil it.  Do not let your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your words, and destroy the work of your hands?

5. FAMILY HARVEST/THANKSGIVING: We appreciate all our parishioners and other worshippers for your generosity in various ways. In view of the fact that  Family Harvest/Thanksgiving is mandatory as a way of expressing gratitude to God for His unquantifiable love and goodness and to also rededicate and re-commit our entire families unto Him for continued protection and fresh grace, we have to draw the roster for all    the families in the church. Please cooperate with us and if the date given to any family is not convenient, please see the Vicar and /or the Wardens with an alternative date and if your family name is omitted, please notify us for inclusion. God bless you richly in Jesus name.          
6. We congratulate all the families that are slated for their family harvest thanksgivings on Sunday September 3, 2017. We pray that the God of harvest will increase them. These are: The Abaras, Adamolekuns, Adegoroyes, Adenijis, Adesolas, Agbims, Agus, Ahanekus, Ajayis, Akinleyes, and the Akwiwus.
7. DRESSING OF BRIDES AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BRIDAL TRAIN DURING WEDDING SERVICES: We use this medium to appeal to all parents and guardians whose children (daughters or daughters-in-law) will be getting married to teach them the dignity of decent dressing, especially during  wedding services. By decent dressing, we mean that the wedding gowns and other wedding dresses should cover  the entire body. Any indecent dressings during such occasions will be frowned at and the clergy will not take kindly to it. This is a very important notice that must be taken seriously by all our parishioners and other worshippers because we will not compromise the Word of God for any reason.
