**********************************************
A Year of Prayer across Blackburn Diocese: We are invited to join with the diocese in prayer for growth and renewal in our churches in 2025. We long to grow more and deeper disciples for Jesus, but recognize that growth is in the gift of God alone. As St Paul wrote, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” 1 Cor 3:6. The intention for the year is for us to pray that we, as a church and individuals, will be renewed in the power of the Holy Spirit for a season of mission in what is the centenary year of our Diocese in 2026. Attached to this newsletter is a bookmark with the words of the Leading your Church into Growth prayer (also printed below) and space for you to pray for five people to find faith. Please treasure the bookmark and use it in your personal times of prayer. We will also incorporate the prayer into our services in church.
Prayer in the lady Chapel: We know prayer changes people and outcomes and with that in mind, from today and every week hereafter, we are offering private prayer immediately after the 10.45 service for anyone who wishes to be prayed for or with. You may request prayers for yourself, someone you care for or a particular situation. Please go to the lady chapel where the prayers will be offered. Anything shared will be in utter confidence. There is immense power in prayer. Jesus tells us that with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can do great things as He did. “And this is the boldness we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us.” 1 John 5:14
God of Mission, who alone brings growth to your Church. Send your Holy Spirit
to give vision to our planning, wisdom to our actions, Joy to our worship
and power to our witness. Help our church to grow in numbers,
in spiritual commitment to you, and in service to our local community,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Please remember in your prayers: Sister Eily May, Katie, Brian Brown, Louise Gorley, Mark Price, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris, Elaine Clarke, & Tracey Ashworth. We also remember the families of Margaret Tilling, Mike Lee, Alf Evans, Stephanie Cashmore, Brian Gregson, Scott Remblance and Maureen Barker whose funerals are due to take place.
