PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
TO GOD: Holy Father, we join with the heavenly hosts in praising you, ‘All glory be to your name!’
FOR THE CHURCH: We thank you for your gift of the Holy Spirit. Please fill us once more so that we may shine for you.
FOR THE WORLD: We pray for all affected by war, earthquakes, famine, floods and fire and for those agencies striving, often at great cost, to meet basic needs.
FOR OUR NATION: Father, we pray for our elected representatives that they implement policies which reflect your character and your heart.
FOR OUR FRIENDS: Father, please fill us with your compassion. We pray that you will open our hearts; inspire us to touch others with your loving kindness.
FOR MYSELF: Father, as I face a new year, help me to leave behind the things I should not be carrying, freeing me to do the new things you have in store. Amen.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, please give us renewed passion to serve you, as we start this new year.
AMEN.
MEN’S BREAKFAST
With Simon Guillebaud MBE Saturday 25th January, 9am-10.30am Choose Life - Deut 30:11-20.
It doesn’t matter whether you had toast or cereal for breakfast, but it does matter whether you live your life out of fear or faith, whether you choose clarity or trust, cynicism or action, grumbling or gratitude, apathy or urgency. Yes, some
choices really do matter. Choose life!
Simon Guillebaud, MBE, spent two decades living in war-torn Central Africa, and speaks out of that context with raw urgency and passion for the last, the lost and the least. He’s the Founder of Great Lakes Outreach, host of the popular ‘Inspired’ podcast, author of the award-winning book Choose Life, and travels widely stirring up the Church for radical discipleship. His wife Lizzie and he live in Bath with their three teenage children.
Full English Breakfast, toast, tea/coffee, juice and an inspiring speaker. £15 per person.
