WEEKLY STATISTICS FOR 19 March 2023

QR CODE FOR FMC OFFERINGS IS ON THE RIGHT

Receipt Issuance

As part of the efforts to go Green, except for "Sunday offerings", e-receipts would be sent to your email or mobile phone registered with our church unless otherwise advised. No receipt would be issued for offerings indicated as "Sunday offerings" or collections that have no specific indication.

e-Receipts will be sent to you via the Church WhatsApp number. We assure members that such e-receipts are NOT sent as broadcast messages to the whole church.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What decision would you have made if you were in Esther's position? Why? What can be considered a modern day situation that would be similar to the situation faced by Esther (Life and death may not feature in the stakes)? Would that (not life and death situation) change your response? Why or why not?

2. Given that most often Guidance is achieved by the general will of God + (another factor) how important is it for us to pause to seek God's will? How often do you think it beneficial to you? How can you better discern God's will for your life?

3. Esther decision to proceed with her plan was a significant act of faith. What have you recently needed to trust God in? Should we seek for opportunities to exercise our faith? Why or why not?
