Praise God for:

• We’re very thankful for the unity of the church during lockdown and how they’ve loved and cared for one another.
• Praise God for a growing hunger for and understanding of the word and a desire to apply it to their lives.
• We have used lockdown to ‘retrain and refit’ for the next stage of the battle with a number of people taking on new roles as ambassadors for various ministries and aspects of church life. Praise God for those willing to serve and the passion he has given them.
• Give thanks for the provision of a temporary venue whilst we are unable to meet in the school.

Please Pray for:

• It is very hard to plan when everything is so uncertain and fluid, but pray this does not lead to us doing nothing. Instead please ask God to give us wisdom and energy to make the most of every opportunity.
• We have seen great growth amongst members of the church but have struggled with outreach. Pray we’d have the joy of seeing non-Christians joining us and coming to know Jesus this term.
• Ask the Lord to equip the new ambassadors, guard their hearts, and use them to strengthen his body here at Christ Church. Ask too for the Lord to send more workers to join us.
• Pray we would be able to return to meeting in the school.
