Monday 23rd September

Give thanks for:

• For new people joining us on Sundays and getting connected up with small groups.
• For new small group leaders stepping up to serve as we grow.
• For a growing diversity within the congregation, being more reflective of our local community.
• For the faithful service of our Church Worker, Matt Coates, over the past 5 years and for his family as they prepare to move to Wooler in December to get involved in pioneering rural ministry.

Please pray for:

• For wisdom for our recruitment team as they shortlist and interview for a new Assistant Minister (Families) in the coming weeks – that the Lord would make it clear who is the right person to help us reach Gateshead with the good news of Jesus.
• For God’s provision of the money for our “Room for Growth” project to enable us to increase the seating capacity in our building by 25% so we have space for many more to encounter the Lord Jesus Christ.
• For the Holy Spirit to stir us and empower us for mission as we study and learn from the book of Acts this term in our services and small groups.
