Pulpit Calendar Dear all

January 2020
Ravi Zacharias in a sermon once said, “the
loneliest moment in a man’s life is when he’s
Check-in 15 minutes before service
Morning Services at 10.30 am experienced that which he thought was the ulti-
mate pleasure and it has let him down.” In our
05 Holy Communion Pastor J T Raja
12 Pastor Ashish H Khan lives we’re often driven our desire for pleasure
19 Pastor J T Raja and satisfaction, and at the start of a new year
26 Pastor Ashish H Khan these are often reflected as new year resolu-
tions. The aims and goals that we set for our-
Allipur Grace Bible Church services at 10.30 am selves. At the start of this year however, I urge
05 Bro. Shyam Babu you to consider God as your first and foremost

an says, “but whoever drinks the water I give
them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give
them will become in them a spring of water
welling up to eternal life." (John 4:14). True joy
and contentment can only come through Christ.
Sunday School
Will be held during The Christian life is a constant battle. We are
worship services bombarded by the various temptations of this
world, and the weakness and frailty of our hu-
man nature, but in all things let us look to God
Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. as the single source of our comfort, joy and
peace. As Jesus said, “Come to me, all you
16 Dr. Ruth Chakravarthy’s Home who are weary and burdened, and I will give
30 Jeba & Raja’s Home you rest.” (Mathew 11:28). So, let us set our
eyes on Him first, and let our lives be entwined
in His will. He is the alpha and the omega, let
us submit to Him being the alpha and omega of
Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. our lives.

WOMEN’S PRAYER
at the Sanctuary
on Saturday,18th at 5.00 p.m.
“The Christian life is not a constant
high. I have my moments of deep
discouragement. I have to go to God in
prayer with tears in my eyes, and say,
'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'”
Billy Graham
As we step into this new year and new decade,
my prayer for you is that you may hold on to
God before anything else in this world. That
every morning begins in the knowledge of God,
as the famous actor Denzel Washington puts it,
“I pray that you all put your shoes way under
the bed at night so that you gotta' get on your
knees in the morning to find them, and while
you're down there, thank God for grace and
mercy and understanding.” Let us always re-
member “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and
all these things shall be added unto you”.
(Mathew 6:33)
