Many thanks to all who supported the coffee morning organized by PW yesterday. Thank you to those who helped to set up on Friday night and also to those who
supplied food, crafts and home produce. And a special thank you to all the ladies for their help.
Many thanks to all who gave so generously to the recent gift day. The total donations to date are £57,590, all of which will go towards the church building fund.
Following a review by the General Council of PCI there will be no Prayer Handbook published for 2018/19 or subsequent years. A new weekly leaflet entitled ‘Let’s Pray’ will be e-mailed to ministers and others who request it. The new arrangements will
begin at the start of September. You can access the e-mails by logging on to www.presbyterianireland.org – prayer – prayer handbook and scroll down to enter
your details to sign up for the ‘Let’s Pray’ leaflet. There will also be copies each week available on the vestibule table for those who do not have access to the internet or
prefer to have a paper copy. If you have any queries please speak to Doris.
Ballymoney Foodbank are extremely low in the following items: - jam, tinned meat (any type), coffee, diluting orange, tinned tomatoes, rice puddings,
bags of rice, long-life milk, tinned spaghetti, Smash (or similar dried potato). They are also virtually out of toothpaste, soap and shampoo.
Demand for assistance has been extremely high over the summer months, especially amongst those with school-age children.
Any of the above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
A number of hoodies have been left behind in the sports hall recently after youth events. These are at the stairs in the hall for collection. Please check if any of them
belong to your family!

POINTS FOR PRAYER - SOUTH SUDAN
On 5 August a peace deal was signed in Khartoum between the government of South Sudan and opposition groups. The deal which covered power-sharing and security
arrangements was signed by President Kiir, opposition leader Riek Machar and representatives of other South Sudanese opposition factions. A third round of peace talks is taking place this week aimed at resolving other outstanding issues such as the powers of the president and vice presidents, representation in the judicial authority,
as well as revision of the country’s administrative division and the naming of new ministries.
Give thanks for the peace deal agreed on 5 August and pray that all other is-sues will be quickly resolved and a comprehensive peace agreement will be made and upheld by all parties, so that the people of South Sudan can live in peace and safety.
Pray for those suffering displacement from their homes and who are in need of humanitarian relief, especially those facing food shortages. Pray that each person will receive the assistance they need.
Give thanks for the aid agencies working in South Sudan and in neighbouring countries providing humanitarian assistance to internally displaced people and refugees. Pray for them as they continue this work to prevent further suffering and hardship.
Remember especially the work of the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan’s Relief and Development Agency seeking to help those in need.
CONGREGATION
Pray for those whom you know who are ill. Pray for healing and for courage and
grace in suffering. Thank God for all the medical services available and for the ministry of healing. Pray for all those who are adjusting to the loss of independence and mobility that have come with growing older. Remember especially those who
live in Nursing and Residential accommodation and those now too frail to leave their homes.
Pray for those who minister to us - elders and others, as they visit to give pastoral care, especially to those who are elderly, ill or bereaved. Thank God for those who
visit and who show care and loving concern.
