FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
The course for young mums at Willowbrook Place. For the peoples of UKRAINE who are undergoing turmoil within their borders, that they may know peace. For the families of the passengers on the missing Malayasian Airlines Flight. The families of people caught up in the gas explosion in New York. For the development of the Maidstone Churches Winter Shelter (MCWS), and for the Project Manager Jayne. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the Christians of KAZAKHSTAN facing opposition and persecution – authorities are repressive of Christian faith. 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 – Authority & Influence’
‘Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of all! We praise You that the Father gave all authority to You, the Living Word, then sent the Holy Spirit to equip us with power and love to live out Your Gospel of grace and truth. Please help us to serve You with humility and love. Amen’
