Petros Baptist Church

Please remember David H.

Good evening friends, brothers and sisters far and near.  Tonight please pray for the services and Sunday school classes tomorrow.

I’d like to ask you to pray for the folk around you who are carrying incredible burdens that no one knows about.  God knows who they are and what they need, so please ask him to help them.

Remember Amy H., BJ, Greg D., Destiney B., and the other members of your church family.

Be in prayer for the services tomorrow, for those who attend, and those who, because of sickness, are unable to.

Remember our director of mission’s son Matthew.  He is very ill.  Also remember the elderly, shut in, and nursing home residents.  Loneliness is not a good thing, as God himself declares when he created Eve.

Take some time to remember those who are, due to spiritual unwellness, uninterested in worship.  Christians disinterested in spending time in worship have a very serious spiritual problem.  Do pray for them.

Finally pray that the God of peace send peace to this troubled world.

Christians are called to live lives akin to those described in Hebrews 11 so that, hopefully, when you die, someone at your funeral remarks ‘this was one of those people of whom the world was not worthy’.

Now is the time for authentic faith.

And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented— of whom the world was not worthy.

What a legacy.

Remember our services tomorrow and those who have resolved to make worship a regular part of their week in 2026.

Remember too the family of Tommy Bray.

Also remember Doris, as she bears nearly 24/7/365 responsibility for her uncle’s care.

Remember too one another.

As soon as the Pastor clears the path for the Word, the world buries it in the ears of the hearers.

Pray for one another and for a peaceful and joyous 2026.  Pray for Derek B. too please.

Remember the services as well (Sunday School, morning worship, evening worship, and mid-week Bible Study).

There is also a particular request, God knows the need, that you are asked to pray for.

And a very Happy New Year.

The program this evening was delightful and the children did a very fine job.

For the Children’s Program/ Christmas Eve Service.  7 PM.  We’d love to worship together with you and your family.

His obituary is avaliable here. Please remember his family.

When you pray tonight for Sunday School, Morning Worship, and Evening Worship include Ronnie T. in your supplications.

Remember the lonely as well.  And those in the military stationed overseas away from their families.  Also pray for those who have lost loved ones since last Christmas.

Please remember Ronnie P. and Cindy A.

Please remember Kathy L.

Bible study at 7 tonight continues our deep dive into Genesis.  You’re more than welcome to join us.

Hope to see you there.

Satan is eager either to tear us by any means [necessary] from the Church, or stealthily to entice us from it. — John Calvin

As you pray for the services tomorrow and all taking part please also remember our shut ins.  The great folk who because of physical issues cannot be with us in worship and who would love to be if they could.

One day most of us will be in the same situation.  Let’s also pray that we not look back on our past with regret that we missed so many times when we could have attended and would do anything to do so if only we had the chance.

Pray, as always, for the sick.  Both physically and spiritually.
