Today the ladies of Calvary Chapel Rome will celebrate the birth of our Savior with an Festive Christmas Tea. We’ve been busy baking and decorating the church for an afternoon of fellowship, treats, Christmas music and a special guest speaker.

We’ve invited some ladies from the neighborhood and we would also like to invite you to join us in the most important part of any ministry event – PRAYER.

• Please pray that the ladies we’ve invited will be able to come
• That the Lord will prepare their hearts to hear the Good News
• Pray for our guest speaker, Maria
• Pray for sweet fellowship with the Lord and each other
• Pray that the Lord will minister to every lady He brings

“God’s child can conquer everything by prayer. Is it any wonder that Satan does his utmost to snatch that weapon from the Christian, or to hinder him in the use of it? How now does Satan hinder prayer? By temptation to postpone or curtail it, by bringing in wandering thoughts and all sorts of distractions; through unbelief and hopelessness. Happy is the prayer hero who, through it all, takes care to hold fast and use his weapon. Like our Lord in Gethsemane, the more violently the enemy attacked the more earnestly he prayed and ceased not till he had obtained the victory. After all the other parts of the armour had been named, Paul adds: ‘with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit’ (Eph. 6.18). Without prayer, the helmet of salvation, and the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit which is God’s word, have no power. All depends on prayer. God teach us to believe and hold this fast!” ~ from The Prayer Life by Andrew Murray
