FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • •

• • • •
For ROSE ANDREWS who is in Pembury Hospital following surgery. For Kate and Alan as they become married here in this Hall next Saturday – that God would grant them a wonderful, memorable day on this special occasion in their lives, and the lives of Jonah and Jasper. 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 VIETNAM 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 – Responsibilities and Rights’
‘O Lord, please help us to recognise our responsibility to do whatever good we can in every area of our lives. Give us the courage to stand up on behalf of others who have been denied basic human rights and justice, and cannot defend themselves. Amen’ Cut Here > ……………………………………………………………………….
