Let’s Pray
This September we are encouraging friends and family who haven’t been to church for a while to consider coming back on Sunday 7th September. As part of this we are holding a walking treasure hunt on Friday 5th September with a supper afterwards and an opportunity to see and hear what our organisations have on offer. We will also be knocking on doors in our local community inviting our neighbours to not only come to the treasure hunt but to also consider joining us in Church on the Sunday.
Please continue to pray for our back to church initiative during the first weekend of September. Pray for the different organisations that will be setting out what the church has to offer. Pray that people will be interested in finding out more about the church.
Over the last number of weeks, we have had a number of people who have bereaved. Pray for the Butcher and Toms families as they mourn the death of Terry Butcher. Death is always painful, but Terry’s death so soon after his partner Janet Toms re-opens already raw wounds. Pray also for the Stinson family after the death of Doreen. Pray for her sister Roberta who will feel this loss more than most as she lived with Doreen. Pray also for the family of Ann Burke who died last Saturday. Ann is survived by her daughter Caroline, grandchildren Alex, and Katie, great grandchildren Reika and Torrin as well as close cousins Yvonne and Wendy.
Teams of people will now be knocking doors and distributing invitations to the treasure hunt and church. Pray for this work, pray that as the Holy Spirit goes ahead so he would be preparing hearts and minds that they would be open to respond.
