PRAYER AFTER RECEIVING THE HOLY COMMUNION
We thank THEE O Father who hast designed to feed us with the precious body and blood of His Son Our Saviour JESUS CHRIST. Grant that this Holy Communion may not bring fresh guilt upon us, but may give us salvation. Let it be upon us armour of faith and a shield of good resolution. Let it help us to fight against all our sins and wrong desires; and let it defend us against the assaults of the devil and the bad thoughts of our hearts and give us firm loyalty to Thee and a happy end, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Theme:Attributes of God.
Topic:God is Light
Text:I John 1:5-7; Rev. 21:22-27.
Aim:To make known to us that God is light and only by walking in the light of the Lord can He reveal to us His glory and beauty.
Introduction.
God dwells in a light that no man can approach (I Tim 6:16). The
phrase “God is light” tells us that His radiance illuminates (Rev.
21:22-27). What light is to the natural eye is what God is to the
Spiritual eye. As “the father of light” (James 1:17), He is all that
beauty and perfection can be. An essential quality about light is
that it drives away darkness. We shall learn more in this study.
Study Guide:
1a.Discuss the importance of natural light to the world.
bRelate this to God and man in our spiritual life. Ps. 36;9;
Jn. 8:12.
2.From Eph. 5:8-14; I Thess. 5:4-8; and I Jn. 2:9, what practical evidence will show us that:
a.Believers are walking in the light;
b.Church is walking in the light?
c.Are these true of you and your local Church today?
3.All our work will finally be brought to light (Rev. 3; 8). What lesson does this have for us and our works in our family and local Church?
4.Read Rev. 21:22-27. Use it to discuss today’s topic in relation to dwelling in the presence of God.
Conclusion.
God is the source of light whether physical, moral or spiritual. He is the Enlightener of the universe and the souls of men!!
Food for thought:
When we walk with the Lord, in the light of His word, what a glory He shed on our way!
Memory Verse: I John 2:9.

MISSION SEED:
Every member of the Diocese of Lagos is expected to pay at least N500 per month. This money is used for the purpose of evangelism. The money is used to help poor and needy parishes in the Diocese and Dioceses in the Church of Nigeria. Kindly remember to pay so that the kingdom of God will be enlarged through us.
REMEMBER TO GIVE YOUR TITHE:
God only demands for a 10th of all He has given to you, but Satan wants to take all. Remember to give your tithe so that God can bless you the more and always rebuke devourers in your life. May the good Lord continue to manifest His glory in your life as you obey Him.
SUNDAY SCHOOL MINISTRY
The books for use in the Sunday School have been given to the children to work upon at home, and for the parents to know how their children are performing in the Church. We implore parents to assist their children, sign the books where requested and help return them to the Church the following Sunday. This will help the teachers monitor their progress. May God bless our children.
INCREASING OUR OFFERINGS AND GIVINGS.
May I humbly appeal to you good and pleasant people of our Church, to kindly think about increasing our Sunday offerings and giving in general. In order to enable us efficiently run the Church because of the present economic reality, May the good Lord continue to provide for you all and surpass your expectations in the mighty name of Jesus.
