Monthly Sunday Church-wide Prayer Meetings will be held on the second Sunday of the month, schedule permitting, in Room 163 from 12:30 - 1:15 pm. (Please refer to the bulletin for future announcements.) Each month, a ministry, a committee, or a church-wide activity will be featured so we can learn how to better pray for that particular area. Let's lift up CBC in prayer together during this time of transition.

Concerning the NTT

1. Thank God for Dr. Lawless' encouragement for all the sub-teams to seek God and to wait on Him. Pray for the sub-teams to diligently strive to meet the goal of producing a united church with a clear direction. Pray for patience and understanding as each sub-team works together to move CBC forward.
2. Praise the Lord for the good progress made with the various AP sub-teams. Pray that God would continue to help each sub-team to accomplish His work in His way and in His timing.
3. Pray that God would show CBC His vision for our church as we seek Him, and for the NTT to have God-led motives as we develop our vision statements.
4. Each regular attendee would be seeking God with all of our hearts through Bible reading/study and prayer, that we would listen to God, and that we would obey God, especially in seeking God for His vision for our church (what kind of church would we like to be?). Also, pray that every regular attendee would make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3), and that we would be willing to give up something that is a personal preference for the sake of church unity (John 17:23).
5. God's provision for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being for us to effectively balance family life, church life and work life.
6. For the Personnel Committee as they work on fulfilling the charter/objectives of the Staffing AP sub-team. Thank God for all of their hard work.
7. Pray for Henry Chan, Hon-Man Lee, Nancy Lo and Gene Yee as they prepare to serve on Church Council. The first meeting will be Tuesday, July 22.
8. Pray for all the AP Sub-teams and the NTT as they will review closure plans and/or execute the closure plans.

Concerning our Ministries

Pray for the following:

1. Pray for the praise teams, speakers and all those who serve in the English and Chinese worship services:
   1. Sunday, July 20: Pastor Andy Cherry will speak in the English worship service and Pastor Ricky Leung in the Chinese service.
   2. Sunday, July 27: Pastor Andy Cherry will speak in both worship services.
2. Pray for God's wisdom and strength for the CBC pastoral and administrative staff to do the high volume of work.
3. Pray that God would bring many to pray at one of the corporate prayer meetings and that God would reveal His vision to us as we humbly seek Him: Monday nights at Tommy & Mabel Ligh's in Bellaire; Thursday evenings at CBC, Iris Wong's in Katy and Wayne and Luz Gor's in Sugar Land.
4. Pray for Joanna Zhu and Andrew and Winnie Tang as they prepare to share their Saipan experiences with our congregation on Sunday, Aug. 17.
