Monday
Thanksgiving – some ideas
- For who God is, for Jesus’ sacrifice to rescue us, for Holy Spirit’s constant
Presence amongst us.
- For blessings and answers to prayers (fill in the blanks!)
- For each other, the church family, love and support and purpose
- For the privilege of living and working in the Kingdom of God
- For freedom to fulfil our God-given destiny and that we would claim it
- For Paul and Lou, their care for our fellowship, their enthusiasm and
leadership
- Quite a few new people have started to come regularly on Sunday mornings
Prayer
- Communication between leaders, trustees, life groups, prayer groups, individuals
so we’re all praying as one body for our church. Guidance on how to coordinate
this info across the church
- Holy Spirit-inspired expectancy for our prayers to be heard and responded to by
God
- Everyone in the church to catch the vision for prayer being the “boilerhouse” (ie.
where we humbly receive God’s inspiration and energy) for the church and our
mission in Chichester and beyond. (See “Outreach” section below for more on
this.) Pray for inspiration and discernment for the small group, led by Richard and
Jo Pope, dedicated to praying for our City.
- Depth and help in our personal prayer lives to deepen our relationship with God.
- Catching the vision of prayer ministry and laying on of hands on Sunday services,
to be bold in requesting it for all sorts of reasons, especially for a closer
relationship with Jesus.
