Prayer month (week 2)

Week 2 of our prayer month:

Monday 11 Feb.
Give thanks for Robert’s life. Pray for the funeral today. Pray for those who are struggling to handle all the complex emotions and issues surrounding his death. Pray that the gospel will be clearly presented at the Thanksgiving Service.

Tuesday 12 Feb. & Wednesday 13 Feb.
Part of our individual journey is our journey together as the local church. Here are some questions to reflect upon.

How connected do you feel to the journey of the church? Are you part of a house-group? Where do you currently serve? How are your personal relationships with other people developing at church?

Don’t just answer these questions with little more than a yes or no, take some time to reflect upon them. Ask God to speak to you about what you can do with respect to each one. Ask God to show you how your answers to these questions relate to the outcome of last week’s spiritual health-check.

Thursday 14 Feb.

Pray for the opportunities that Hope 08 will give us to connect with our communities. Give thanks for the “taster-weekend” at the beginning of the month. Pray for the Re:Act fun-day in August.

Friday. 15 Feb.

Pray for our Children’s and youth ministries. Pray for the outreach that happens on Fridays and the discipleship ministries on Sundays. Pray for Becky and Amanda as they coordinate these ministries. Pray also for the outreach work in Shortstown and for Barbara as she leads this.

Saturday 16 Feb. 

Pray for the Exercise classes that happen on Saturday. Pray that God will use these events to help us build strong relationships with friends outside of the church. Also pray for the leadership team as they spend the day away together.

Sunday 17 Feb.

Thank God for the vision he has given to us. Ask him to give us the courage and determination to see the vision become a reality. Ask him to add to our regular congregation those who are seeking him in our communities. Pray that God would show you what part you can play in seeing the vision become a reality.
