PRAYER Calendars - The Covenant Missionary Prayer Calendars are on the table in the Church Narthex. Please take your copy and pray for our missionaries as listed below. |
NEW ENGLAND SEAFARERS MISSION – 2005 Cruise Ship Ministry was a success. We will soon have the dates and ships for 2006. Pray about your willingness to serve this ministry on a Saturday or Sunday from late April through October.…Please call New England Seafarer’s Mission directly at 617-443-0282 for other opportunities to help serve.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD and COMMUNITY PARTNERS GIVING TREE were wonderful experiences for the children and our Church. Thank you for all of your help!
MINISTRY of love – Pray for Frank C. as he distributes "Our Daily Bread" to patients in a local hospital for the mentally challenged. Pray for additional opportunities and resources to expand this ministry.
The 2006 Mexico Missions Team – In 2003 this church sent 18 youth and adult members to Reynosa, Mexico to help at the Pilar Esperanza Children's Home for a week. The work consisted of a combination of physical labor (built a full size basketball court out of cement, and poured the second floor walls for their new dormitory) and running a daily children's program in Spanish. In 2005 we went back with forty-five (45) people to help again. This year we are going back again with about 22 people. Their fundraising this time will be private. Please pray for success in their fundraising as each person needs to raise about $1,000.
WOMEN'S SEAFARERS FRIEND SOCIETY – Calling all knitters and sewers - Please help the chaplains of the New England Seafarers Mission and Women's Seafarers Friend Society by preparing knit caps and ditty bags. Ruthie and Marilyn have patterns for both and will supply you with FREE YARN if you are able to knit. Note that 1800 ditty bags were filled in December 2005 - Praise The Lord.

URGENT PRAYER NEED – PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE – pray for all missionaries in our world, especially Central Asia and Africa, in areas where spiritual beliefs differ from ours. These are difficult times. Pray for safety for those serving in our military overseas and their families who wait at home. May we continue to depend solely upon the Lord for comfort and strength in this time of stress and distress?
PILGRIM PINES – Located in Swanzey, NH (near Keene, NH), this Christian retreat and camping center is open year-round. This is a favorite place for retreats, Elderhostel, and Christian Education. This center also runs the summer camp, Camp Squanto, to serve youth through high school age in exploring, developing and enhancing their Christianity (see their schedule of programs at their website and throughout the main webpage for Trinity Covenant Church). Please pray for the ministry of the Pines as they welcome their new director, David Cairns.
Community Partners – Our monthly Community Partners outreach to the mentally and emotionally handicapped needs you to help with talking, listening, or interacting with these outstanding people. We can also use volunteers to help with setup, cooking or cleanup. The rewards are priceless!
Project Manna – Our church staffs the soup kitchen (Project Manna) at Mass Avenue Baptist Church, 146 Hampshire Street, Cambridge, MA (a few blocks from Inman Square in Cambridge heading towards Kendall Square) on the second Friday of the month. Volunteers are needed for setup, cooking or cleanup. See their website http://www2.bc.edu/~dixonmi/MABC.HTML for more information.
Shelter Inc. – Our church would like to staff a Shelter Inc. residence house kitchen in Cambridge, MA on the third Friday of the month, but are unable due to the lack of volunteers. Volunteers are needed for setup, cooking or cleanup. See their website http://www.shelterinc.org for more information about Shelter Inc. Contact Frank C. or the webmaster for more information about helping on small team each month.
PRAYER FOR TRINITY EMO – please keep your EMO Commission in prayer as we work explore possible new areas of support and ministry. All suggestions will be appreciated.
YOUR WEEKLY GIVING – remember that your giving each week helps to support these missionaries and others around our world. Give generously and with a thankful heart – bless you.
