FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • • •
We pray for local schools and our contacts with through Harvest Assemblies and gifts. For all hostages of the Islamic State terrorist organisation. For Gill and Brian Paxton and their family. For John Martin, his daughter Ruth and brother Karl who are all having physical problems of kind or another. For Keith Swaffer who is in hospital in Potters Bar. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the children who attended Summer Camps and their families, that we may establish strong, on-going links. For the persecuted TURKMENISTAN Christians, who live in fear in a tightly controlled, isolated state. 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 – Church in the Neighbourhood’
‘Loving Father, please lead many to attend church services today where they will feel welcomed. Inspire those who preach the Gospel, lead musical worship and praise and fulfil other roles with Your Holy Spirit of love and truth for Jesus’ sake. AMEN’
