FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • •
• • • •
For ROSE ANDREWS who is recovering following surgery. For Kate and Alan who wed here yesterday. May God bless them with a happy marriage, and Jonah and Jasper with a happy home. For the final weeks of preparation for the ‘Jesus Folk’ musical at the Hazlitt Theatre – for good memories, for grace, for energy and willingness to advertise and invite friends and family members to hear the Gospel in a different form, and especially for those who lead it. For the successful implementation of the Churches Winter Shelter. For the Christians of AFGANISTAN facing opposition and persecution. The claiming of the ‘SQUARE MILE’ around our hall in prayer over the next weeks and months. DON’T FORGET – to use the Prayer Network – see Audrey Beeching or Jo Gaskin. ‘PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK – Trafficking & Exploitation’
‘Heavenly Father, we cry to You on behalf of those who are being trafficked throughout the world. Please strengthen and equip organisations that oppose this evil practice through legislative reform, legal work and by rescuing and helping victims. Amen’
