My command is this: love each other as I have loved you. 

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.  

John 15:12-13 (NIV)

For Prayer

• We still have an urgent need for a new Church Secretary, as well as others to join the Leadership Team.  If you feel led to serve in this way or would just like to know more, please speak with Nick or one of the current Deacons for more information.
• We thank God for the new people who have been joining us at Trailblazers and Warm Welcome Space.  Please pray for all who attend these groups, as well as those who lead them.
• Please pray for all of the hospitality events planned through this year, that they may be an opportunity to invite others to join with us in a less threatening environment.

 

World Day of Prayer

The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women
who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice.

The materials from Nigeria bring us a powerful invitation drawn from Matthew 11:28-30. At a time when people worldwide are carrying heavy burdens, our Nigerian sisters offer profound insights into finding rest in God.
