"He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: ‘“Father,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.”’ (Luke 11:2-4)


Dear friends,

It was brilliant being together yesterday as a church family, with all ages brought together by Jesus, to worship him, hear from him and spur each other on.

What a joy it was to spend time starting our series on prayer and for time speaking to him in our service too. Do be thinking this week about times you could pray; wow God and help God. 

Do be praying for us as a church as we spend this half term thinking about Jesus' teaching on prayer that we individually and corporately would be stirred to be a praying believers and a praying church. 

Our usual groups are back up and running again now as we are back from the half term break. Praying it's a great time being back together on Tuesday, Friday and together at our prayer supper on Wednesday. 

God bless,

Jonnie
