Sunday blessings from UMC Carmel Parish in Minkoa-Meyos Yaoundé🙏 Today we gathered together as a family of faith for our worship service, opening our hearts to God's word through the First Reading from Exodus 12:1-14 and the Second Reading from Romans 13:8-14, with the Gospel drawn from Matthew 18:15-20. Our Introit reminded us of the beauty of unity, declaring "How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony! That is where the Lord has promised His blessings, life that never ends" (Psalm 133:1,3).
One of the most touching moments of the service was our Special Moment, where our beloved children were called forward as our clergy prayed over them ahead of the new school year. With the back-to-school season here, we lifted them up in prayer, asking God to grant them wisdom, strength, focus, and protection as they return to their classrooms. It was such a joy to see them gathered together, dressed in their best, standing before the church to receive this blessing and encouragement from our pastors and the entire congregation.
We give God thanks for another beautiful Sunday of worship, fellowship, and community, and we continue to pray for every child stepping back into school this season, that they may excel in their studies and grow in faith and character. May God's favor go before all our children this academic year.
