NBA Prayer Relay from Sunday 15th May - Heaton BC (Newcastle)

Things to give thanks for: 
Thank God for Messy Church which is reaching lots of local families.
Give thanks for our wonderful young people who recently led the morning service on prayer and had so much to teach us all.

Prayer Requests: 
The Prayer Relay will mark the start of a season of prayer and mission in the church. We will be using the 'Try Praying' initiative to help us. This is a booklet which we will use every day for a week to help us pray and then we will pass on to a non-Christian and encourage them to 'Try Praying'. 
Please pray that people will want to get involved and use the booklets with their friends.
During the week Paul Revill will be leading a workshop entitled Praying for our Communities. Pray that we will learn lots from the workshop and will use it to pray more effectively.
Pray for Elaine Lord who is the Prayer Coordinator and recently joined the church staff as a volunteer to develop the prayer life of HBC.
Pray for the team of young people who are preparing to go to Romania in the summer.

Senior Pastor: Rev Mark Elder

NBA Prayer Relay for week from 8th May - Berwick Hills BC (Middlesbrough)

This year is the 60th Anniversary of the church moving from North Ormesby to Berwick Hills, to worship in a new building as the housing estate was being built.  The Mission had been founded in North Ormesby in the 1880's but, with the redevelopment of the area, the church relocated with a Sunday School already meeting in a local home and with services taking place in the local primary school.

 

Prayer 

 

60th Anniversary celebrations and the opportunities they can bring. 

 

Planning of special events, including the barbecue on 25 June and the Anniversary later in the year. 

 

A special meeting on the 11 May for the whole fellowship to pray and seek guidance for the future in light of changes that will occur during the next few years. 

 

 

Thanks 

 

The Eggstavaganza event at Easter and the large number of parents and children who attended. 

 

The continuing work of the Parents and Toddler group.

 

For the church team running Food Bank from our building, which is a distribution point in a key area of need -  and pray for the many people who have been supported.

 

For the opportunities to be involved with local schools. 

 

For the continual financial support that has enabled us, as a small church, to be self-sufficient since 2000.


Minister: Revd Alan Reed
