Here we suggest focus areas for prayer, but please continue to pray for the work of our churches and missionary partners around the world (details on our website).
Church family news:
- Praise God for those who have received positive health news recently.
- Please pray for Rev Tim Weeks who has been covering services for us and is currently in hospital.
- Please continue to pray for those who have been listed here in recent weeks.
- Please pray for all who are in pain, unwell or just a bit under the weather, and for all who grieve, especially the family and friends of Alan Beaton.
Pray for our community
In our cycle of prayers, this weekend we ask you to include in your prayers:
- our stretched health services, dealing with the increased pressures due to the flu epidemic
- all who are suffering from flu or any of the other viruses that are rife in our community
- all who will visit our churches this week
Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches
This week we ask you to include in your prayers:
- our church schools, as they visit for their Christmas service, and enjoy end of term festivities
- our team who organise the hospitality we provide for many occasions at Christmas
- all who will be taking part in our services over the next two weeks
Pray for our mission partners
In our cycle of prayers for our mission partners, this week we ask you to pray for the Ellis family. Andrew and Samara lead the River of Life church in Harare. More information about all of our mission partners can be found on our website.
Please pray for:
- Andrew, busy in his role with their growing church, together with other ministries he is involved in
- Samara as she hands over leadership of the Horizon Youth Camps, in order to support Andrew
- their daughter Ceanna who is due to become a mum in January
Our 127 Operation Christmas Child boxes are on their way to Malawi, Liberia and Ukraine. Please pray for all who will receive a box this Christmas.
If you are aware of anyone who would like our prayers, or who would like the church family to share in some news, good or bad, please let Caroline know ([email protected]).
