- Depending on the weather, there will be a fire drill in September. Please follow directions and treat the drill as a real event: evacuate the building in an orderly manner and head to the nearest muster point. Please do not move or drive your vehicle during the drill.
- The Entrance to the courtyard near room 145 is currently closed while the new vestibule is being constructed. However, the entrance can still be used during a fire or emergency.
- We are rebuilding the church websites into a single site, with streamlined and modern navigation. The English Ministry’s site is already complete and live, and the Cantonese and Mandarin Ministry sites are still under construction. We will let you know as they become available.
Supporting Families in Nepal
On August 26th, an avalanche of ice and rock from a collapsed glacier on the border of Tibet sent a massive surge of water through a narrow valley in northern Nepal, sweeping away bridges, infrastructure, homes, and everything else in its path. The Alliance Church and our partners on the ground have created first responder teams for emergency relief:
- A medical response team made up of a doctor, nurse and physiotherapist, with medical supplies.
- A logistics team carrying food packets, tarps and hygiene supplies.
Please pray for these teams. Pray for safety, for clear communication and coordination, for wisdom as they assess needs, and for strength.
Please pray for those missing, their families, and rescue efforts, for effective coordination between government, non-government organizations, local communities and first responders, and for wisdom and discernment as relief efforts are organized and aid is distributed honestly and equitably. Pray for those who have lost family members, homes, livelihoods, and communities, and for the road to recovery and rebuilding. Please pray for the hearts of the response teams and that God will equip them to serve. And pray for the church, that God would equip the churches in Nepal to serve their communities well, with wisdom, courage, full and generous hearts, and a tangible display of the loving generous God we follow.
