We are asked to pray this week (beginning Sunday 23 January 2022) for Morpeth Baptist Church

Minister John Copper

 

Thanksgiving

We're thankful we are now meeting again in person, for those who feel confident enough.

Albeit sporadically at the moment.

We're thankful for the human contact.

We're thankful for all of the YouTube church services that have enlightened us, and the Zoom meetings afterwards, that have kept us together.

We're thankful for all of the hard work that the leading members of our church have put in over this long journey to where we are now.

We're thankful that Our Lord God has brought us through this difficult period, and will continue to be so, because we know he will.

We are thankful we have so many wonderful servants of God in our church

Jilly - Church member

 

Prayer

Those in Morpeth BC who are serving on the frontline.

Our focus this year is on: Creating space to grow.

Please pray as we discern what God is calling us to and the courage to set down things which are ill fitting.

Within that emphasis on well-being as we learn to carry Jesus unforced rhythms of grace as individuals and as a church.

We would like to start a Renew Wellbeing Space but are struggling to find the right space.

Please pray that we will be patient, not be discouraged, and that God will show us the right building/ room.

Please pray for all God's churches in Morpeth, that together we can be salt and light in the town.

Thank you

John Cooper

We are asked to pray this week (beginning Sunday 17 January 2022) for Stocksfield BC

Minister Pete Jorysz

PRAISE

That God has kept our church family safe from serious illness from COVID.

For being able to start in-person services again and developing a tech team to stream on Youtube.

For our Mums and Tots group which is connecting well with the community with a renewed missional focus.

For new mission ventures including an ecumenical Renew Space cafe to serve the local community.

That God's plans and purposes for our church remain the same and we can put our faith and trust in him to work in, and through us.

PRAYER

That the church family can regain its sense of being family after being fragmented and scattered through the pandemic.

That we continue to develop our outward focus and that God will work through us to reach others.

That we continue to seek the Lord for what he wants us to do and where he wants us to go, rather than being led by "member preferences

NBA Prayer Requests

We are asked to pray this week (beginning Sunday 09 January) for Alnwick Baptist Church

We give thanks:

1) that we've been able to remain connected as God's family through virtual means and in person.

2) that our missional communities alongside our Sunday congregation have been able to meet again.

3) that many people in the life of the church have brought their gifts in all manner of means which has provided a rich and eclectic tapestry of ministry.

4) that Karen has started as minister in training and for all that she brings to this role and her heart cry for people to know Jesus.

Please pray for:

1) Our new focus this year - Beatitudes: The Jesus I need to know. That we will grow in Christ as a church and seek to be more like Jesus in how we live our lives.

2) That we will see more of the vision of God's Hand opening up across Alnwick and the whole of Northumbria as this Cradle of Christianity is once more on fire for God's kingdom.

3) That we will be obedient to God's leading and step out with Him in faith into unchartered waters.

4) That we will manifest Jesus in both words and action and demonstrate the fasting of Isaiah 58 in seeking justice and reaching out to the marginalised.
