FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • •
For the peoples of UKRAINE who are undergoing turmoil within their borders, that they may know peace. For the outreach of Christians to the WINTER OLYMPICS in Sochi – that God might bless their efforts in a mighty way. For the winding-up the Maidstone Churches Winter Shelter (MCWS), and for the Project Managers Jayne and Angela. For our ‘Partners in Mission’ – Mozambique, Pakistan, Ghana, South America East & Finland. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the Christians of KAZAKHSTAN facing opposition and persecution. 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 – Precious Human Lives’
‘Loving Saviour, we praise You for the dignity and value You have given to human beings, each man, woman and child uniquely known and precious in Your sight. Help us to speak and act to defend the most vulnerable, especially those at most risk of abuse or death. Amen’
