NBA Prayers for 6th July - Glendale Crossing Places (Wooler)

Based in Glendale, Northumberland: stunningly beautiful – spiritually needy. We work to:

 

1.      SOW and Share the Good news:

 

Praise:

  • For our first (monthly) Café Church and all the people who came
  • For our Sunday brunches to which friends and neighbours come and talk and laugh and listen
  • For the enthusiastic and community-minded new folk in our (now completely full) community gardening scheme as we meet together monthly to chat and plan

Prayer:

  • For our neighbours and fellow-gardeners, that we might have more opportunities to grow to trust each other, and increased likelihood that people will respond well to invitations to come to Café Church

2.      FORM and Build a community of disciples

 

Praise:

  • For our programme and events which spur us into missional thinking

Prayer:

  • For the friends on the edge of the group, that we will be grace-full and wise towards them, as we offer opportunities to become more engaged with us, and us with them

3.      SERVE and Work for the advancing of the Kingdom of God

 

Praise:

  • For our local First School (years 1-5) who have responded positively to our invitation to introduce them to Scripture Union's "Life Path" school events this summer

Prayer:

  • For our working with various agencies (RVS, Schools, U3A, Gateway Trust, et al.) - that we'll keep influencing their agenda with aspects of the Christian faith
  • For our work in bringing the Christian story into the public arena – e.g. our future plans for story-telling about the Celtic saints
Minister: Rev Bill Eugster
