FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
‘Thank You for the prayers You answered and for those that You denied.’ 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 impacted by the mud slide in Oso WA. 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 PASTORS & EVANGELISTS facing opposition and persecution, hostility and penalties for their 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 – Motherhood’
‘Lord, thank You for the commitment and love of mothers. Please strengthen and encourage both those women experiencing great joy and fulfilment, and others whose lives are not easy at this time. Amen’
