Here we suggest focus areas for prayer, but please continue to pray for the work of our churches and missionary partners around the world (details on our website).
Church family news:
- Praise God for those who have received positive health news recently.
- Please pray for Rev Tim Weeks who has been covering services for us and is currently unwell.
- Please continue to pray for those who have been listed here in recent weeks.
- Please pray for all who are in pain, unwell or just a bit under the weather, and for all who grieve, especially the family and friends of Alan Beaton and Maurice Debnam.
Pray for our community
In our cycle of prayers, this weekend we ask you to include in your prayers:
- our local food bank and the team there, fulfilling an important need at this time of year
- all who are suffering from flu or any of the other viruses that are rife in our community
- all who will attend our services this week
Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches
This week we ask you to include in your prayers:
- the team of clergy and others who are supporting our services at this busy time
- all our Christmas services
- all who will be taking part in our services over the next week
Pray for our mission partners
In our cycle of prayers for our mission partners, this week we ask you to pray for the work of David & Marlene Fry in Austria. David works for Media works, part of OM East & Marlene volunteers at Oasis where she teaches German to refugees. More information about our partners can be found on our website.
Please pray for:
- David as he prepares to step down from leadership of MediaWorks in 2027, when he reaches retirement age
- the person God has chosen to replace David
- guidance for David to discern what direction God is leading him when he retires
- Marlene as she continues to source goods for the refugees, at a local collection point where the volunteers tend to be very unfriendly
- Johanna, who is having help as she prepares for her A level exams, to reduce her stress levels
If you are aware of anyone who would like our prayers, or who would like the church family to share in some news, good or bad, please let Caroline know ([email protected]).
