Family Togetherness Week of Prayer

The theme for this year is "Growing Hearts of Welcome: Understanding Diverse Families," with Karen Holford. Across various cultures, families face unique challenges that differ from the norm, especially amid widespread migration due to war, gang violence, political and religious oppression, lack of opportunities, and poverty. Additionally, families may include members experiencing neurodiversity, along with a range of physical, emotional, and psycho-social challenges, as well as racial, ethnic, national, and language differences. As Christians, it is crucial to approach these realities with love, compassion, and understanding, following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Key Bible passages such as John 13:35 and Matthew 25:40 lay the groundwork for embracing and supporting diverse families within our communities. 

Pastor John Francis and I are excited to invite you to a joint NEC and SEC series of presentations for our families as part of this special online program. There will be songs and stories for children, along with main sermons on various topics. The programme will run from September 2nd to 6th, starting at 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. We have invited several speakers from NEC and SEC, and the event will be livestreamed on the SEC MEDIA  via Zoom and YouTube channels.
