All congregations prayer meeting

Just a reminder
of our all congregations prayer meeting.

4th May
7.45pm till 9.00pmish

Please join us as we pray for second term events, The Autumn Session, church planning, and national and international issues.
Don't feel the pressure to pray aloud but come and add your Amen to ours as we give commit our plans to God.

When Paul writes to the collosians, He writes:

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Join us for prayer !
It is the best thing you will do all week!
