There are many places to go to in order to join in with others who are praying. Here is a selection.

RISE

I would like to encourage you all to join with Rise 8am-9am on Tuesday mornings to pray for our churches and the circuit, and to give thanks and praise to God our Father. I have been greatly blessed by the small group meeting at the manse, There is still room for more and you are very welcome to join. I know that some churches are open and others are meeting in small groups many others are joining in this time in their own homes, there is indeed a special blessing where 2 or three are gathered in His name. it’s not too late find a friend or two or three and start a group.

RISE for Tuesday 28th November

8 – 9 am

RISE

We continue this month thinking about the greatness of God. Please read this verse as a starting point for your prayers on Tuesday morning

Psalm 145 v10-13

All of your works will thank you Lord, and your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, they will give examples of your power they will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom you rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps His promises He is gracious in all He does.
