Church family news:

Pray for our community

- Roger de Clare School pupils, who will hold their Christmas concerts in St Mary’s this week
- Standon Sing, our community choir, as it prepares for the concert on 11th
- our various local community cafes and village lunches, providing a chance for people to get together
Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches
This week we ask you to include in your prayers:
- those who give time and effort to raise funds to keep our churches solvent
- our pastoral team, looking out for those who are lonely or vulnerable
- our outreach events and services during the Advent season
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 Mediaworks, part of OM East, and Marlene volunteers at Oasis where she teaches German to refugees. More information about all of our mission partners can be found on our website.
Please pray for:
- healing & protection for members of the Mediaworks team
- printing of five new Roma language versions of My First Bible storybooks in Ukraine
- those who receive copies of the books to develop a spiritual thirst and come to know Jesus
- donors who will cover the costs, trusting that God will provide for the expenses of these projects
- Marlene who is currently receiving low-radiation X-ray treatment for her Achilles tendons
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]).
