Week of Prayer Sun, 09 May 2010
Now that the hall phase of the Renewal Project is complete (if not yet fully paid for) it is important that we set ourselves some new goals as a fellowship. As we’ve shown with the Project, if a church will set itself prayerfully discerned, widely shared goals, very significant things can be achieved. We believe we must begin by looking to God, with a renewed focus on prayer. So we’re calling for the whole congregation to dedicate the week beginning Sunday 16th May as a week of prayer.we are producing some Prayer Week Resources for you that will guide and help us as a congregation in knowing how to pray and what to pray for.

We will be discussing what we can do on an individual basis to help protect the world we live in and as a church what we should be doing in the community. We encourage you all to come to the service as it is a very important topic and one where we can make a difference. For further details please see Dan Horrex or Malcolm Lee.
