SPECIAL PRAYERS This week we continue to pray for: The parishioners, their families, the Diocese and its leadership, the forth-coming Synod that through prayerful discussions and deliberations new motions may be passed that will take this Diocese to the new high heights. We pray too for our nation that she may be free from multiple evils of corruption, abduction, rape, murder of women & children. Let us pray for the ongoing taxi squabbles

and violence. We hold up their associations in our area, and pray for solution for those affected by the suspension of some operations of some taxi associations.

DID U KNOW? Every quote Jesus used against Satan was from the book of Deuteronomy. The book of Deuteronomy is a unique book of Law which 1stly reminds the children of Isra-el of the marvellous things God has done for them before reiterating the Laws. It is also the most quoted book in the New Testament and by Jesus.
