FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • •
We thank God for Jonathan Heward’s recommendation for approval for Officer Training. We thank God for the answers to prayer as a result of the Prayer Week. For the peoples of UKRAINE, the families of the missing Malaysian flight, the Oso WA mudslide, the S. Korean ferry disaster. For the celebration event of the Maidstone Churches Winter Shelter (MCWS) on Sat. 26th April, and its development. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the Christians in LAOS facing persecution in rural areas, and for pastors shepherding their congregations. The claiming of the ‘SQUARE MILE’ around our hall in prayer over the next weeks and months. DON’T FORGET – to use the Prayer Network – see Audrey Beeching or Jo Gaskin. ‘PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK – GOSPEL HOPE’
‘Risen Lord, we worship You and give thanks for the glorious Gospel hope by which we have been saved,’ raised up with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly realms.’ Amen’ Cut Here > ……………………………………………………………………….
