FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
We pray for the Songsters as they minister at the prison this morning. We pray for the planning and organisation of the Ultimate Church Visit Week beginning 19 May and for those who will attend. For the peoples of UKRAINE, that peace would reign in this troubled country. For the family of the murdered Leeds teacher. For Jo Gaskin who is remaining in hospital with ill health. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the Christians in MALDIVES who are severely restricted in their practice and witness on these Muslim majority islands. 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 – Christians in Europe’
‘Almighty God, we praise You for men and women who faithfully preached the gospel all over the world and built up Your Church throughout Europe over many centuries – and for the thousands still doing so. Please encourage and increase their faith. AMEN’
