World Day of Prayer
Many thanks to everyone who helped organise and host the service for the World Day of Prayer.
The service raised £203.75 for the World Day of Prayer movement.
Church Meeting
Our next church meeting will be held after the morning service on Sunday 23rd March. We’ll have some lunch together (please bring something to add to the table) and spend some time praying and listening to God.
Everyone is welcome, so please put the date in your diaries.
BMS World Mission
BMS is committed to promoting the visibility of women in leadership roles and the equality of men and women. Pray with us for gender justice.
- Pray for Dr Nadia, working with Biglife Middle East North Africa, BMS’ partner in the region, as she mobilises, empowers and mentors women outreach workers and supports them through their theological studies.
- Pray that less literate women in local churches globally would receive Bible training, and that we’d invite all women, especially those on the margins, to the table.
- Give thanks to God for female leaders among BMS’ partners who willingly volunteer to serve within rigid cultural systems. Pray against spiritual discrimination in church, ministry and all levels of leadership.
Giving
A massive thank you to everyone who gives regularly to support the church. We only survive through your generosity, so it is much appreciated!
