FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
We pray this week for the children and staff who will attend Divisional Children’s Camp. We pray for the preparations being made for the Prayer Week and for the visit of schoolchildren in May (Ultimate Church Visit). 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, and those affected 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 Christians in KENYA facing opposition and persecution from Islamist extremists (al-Shabaab). 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 – Autism Awareness Month’
