Trinity Psalter Hymnals: The newly published Trinity Psalter Hymnals have arrived, along with a
separate book containing the Ecumenical Creeds, Reformed Confessions and
Liturgical Forms. In a couple of weeks we hope to get the new books stamped and
placed in the pews alongside the Psalter Hymnals. The books ordered
individually by members of the congregation will also be available to be picked
up at the church. More information about this will be forthcoming when these
orders are ready to be distributed. May the Lord empower us by His Holy Spirit
to lift up thankful voices to Him in our singing!
Book Table at Strathroy Downtown Market: Our Evangelism Committee has set up a book table at the Strathroy
downtown market on Saturday mornings from 8:00 am � 12:00 noon. The purpose of
this book table is to make literature available to people who want to know more
about the Christian faith. If you would like to take a turn sitting at the book
table, please contact Alvin Brunsveld.

Life Renewal: �O for a closer
walk with Thee!� Would you like to help others enjoy a closer walk with God? Do
you need others to help you enjoy a closer walk with God? Life Renewal is a
26-week program which helps Christians share their struggles in a confidential
context with fellow believers, and also allows you to help others through their
struggles. We will meet on Monday nights from September through April this
coming season at Providence URC in Strathroy. For further information, please
contact Ralph van der Wal at 519-317-0388.
Word & Deed Update:� �Word & Deed has been offering support to
orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS in Malawi. At
the Chilowe Centre, volunteers and a paid
teacher work with parents/guardians to provide support to 58 vulnerable
children. The children meet to hear the good news of the Gospel through Bible
stories and receive �tutoring, as well as
a �bowl of porridge. It is
encouraging to see intelligent, God-fearing people dedicate their time and
talents to serve in this way. Please join us in the prayer that
many vulnerable children will survive the multi-faceted poverty that they
live in and become God-fearing citizens of Malawi.
Our Church
Family -Please continue to remember Marianne Nugteren in your prayers.
She is waiting to be booked for an angiogram. May our heavenly Father give
her strength as she looks for healing mercies from His almighty hand. -Council has accepted the request of Mrs. Janny Klazinga to become a member at Providence United
Reformed Church. Janny comes to us from the Wyoming
Christian Reformed Church. If there are no lawful objections, she will be
welcomed as a member of our congregation on July 15, Lord willing. -We give thanks that Michael & Karen Jaatinen arrived safely in Moncton New
Brunswick this week. May the Lord bless them as Michael is ordained to the
ministry of the Word at Mt. Zion ARP in Moncton this Friday, July 6, D.V. -We remember Nelia Van Dam and her family in our prayers as she becomes weaker and
draws nearer to the heavenly home she longs for. Pray for our Missionaries and Mission workers: �Rich & Yukyung Bultje are
church-planters in Niagara Falls, Canada. Pray for: 1) wisdom to deal with the baggage of those coming to faith and
seeking membership. 2) both loving words to speak, and for boldness as we continue to do
our door to door ministry and other outreach activities. 3) a new building for our church that would be more suitable for
worship and ministry. -Pray for Nancy Geertsma as she and Luke prepare for their wedding. |
