LET US PRAY FOR
THE PEOPLE
OF CHRISTCHURCH,
NEW ZEALAND
.
.
Damage was extensive and people were trapped inside crumbled buildings, The Associated Press reported. Prime Minister John Key told Parliament that there might be casualties. “Sadly, I cannot rule out whether there have been fatalities or not,” he said.
.

.

Keep in your prayers the people of Christchurch, New Zealand. For the people who lost their beloved ones; for the rescuers may they be strong and keep going for survivors; for those who lost everything, for the seniors, children, people in distroyed hospitals and prisions. Let us keep in our prayers everyone in spiritual, emotional and material need after this devastating earthquake in Christchurch where a Canadian born is the diocesan bishop, The Rt. Rev'd Victoria Matthews.

PRAYER FOR EGYPT
.
All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Cairo, Egypt.
.
Bishop Mouneer Anis, the Anglican Bishop of Egypt has released a statement about the situation in his country.
.
He writes: I called upon the people of Egypt to give time for the new government to achieve the needed security, justice and democracy. We meet every day at the cathedral to pray for the situation.
.
We thank God because all our churches and institutions are safe. ‘We, with many other Egyptians, are very sad because of the violence and destruction within our beloved country. ‘Egypt is known in the region as "the mother of the world." Now, the mother is wounded by its own children, which is harder than wounds of outside wars. ‘
.
Please pray so that God may give wisdom to all those who are in authority to put an end to this unacceptable violence. Pray for the demonstrators in order that they may go back to their homes and wait for the new government to act. Pray for the medical teams who are dealing with the wounded. ‘Pray especially tomorrow, as people tend to gather and demonstrate on Fridays. Pray for God's protection for all the people of Egypt. We have hope in God who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.’
.
Here is a prayer from Christian Aid that can be used privately and as part of the intercessions in Church.
.
God of Egypt, God of the world, Hear the cry of your people. Bring comfort to those who long for peace; Bring restraint in those who perpetuate violence; Bring courage to those who are fearful. We hold before you the people of Egypt, May hatreds be transformed, May lives be respected, May the steadfast power of your love and hope shine though the darkness and insecurity of the present time. Amen.

THE DAY WHEN ST.PAUL'S
CHANGED INTO
ST. BENEDICT'S CHURCH
at Brooklyn, New York City for 2 days.
.
.
Our sign change the name but of activities.
Are people from Hollywood attending our Bible Study
of Wednesday to learn about angels?
.
.
People were confused with NYC Police patrol instead of
Toronto Police patrols, anyway, this special effect was for short time.
.
.
The episode happened during a funeral, where the widow is allowed to attend under a heavy police security because there were pending issues between families and mafia...wow, maybe you never thought that we have members involved in this kind of business....he he he he...
.

.
DURING A SNOWY DAY
OUR CHURCH WAS PART
OF HOLLYWOOD
.
.
A lot of cameras, lights, cables, all over the street
and around the church property.
.
.
More lights and lights, when already our church is the light
in our neighbourhood.
.

.
NYC's police officers walking around St.Paul's, don't worry, nothing happened, was only a movie, and after all the nieghbourhood back to normal and quiet life.
.
