“Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.”
 
Outreach
 
Please give thanks for

  • The way we have new people joining the church family.
  • The schools’ ministry and the opportunity to share the gospel.
  • The amazing work of the South Room Hub and Food Larder and the closer links with Bay Ignite.
  • The growth we are seeing as a church family.
  
Please pray for
  • The recent reset of the Food Larder ministry and the encouragement for people to use it only in an emergency and not as a weekly event.
  • Wisdom as we seek to use the food resources we have in the best way possible.
  • The people who come to the Food Larder to recognise their need of Jesus as well as food.
  • The South Room Hub and the people they work with to engage with the gospel as well as finding their needs met.
  • The upcoming Say One for me event and the opportunity to meet people we would not normally meet.
  • Thy Kingdom Come and the opportunity to pray for those who do not yet know Jesus.
  • The school assemblies and the opportunities at Hampton, Herne Bay Juniors and Herne Bay infants.
  • Each church member at Christ Church St Andrews to be more confident to share their faith with family, friends, neighbours and people they meet.
  • The decision we need to make as to whether to run a family fun day on Wimereux Square this year.
  • Those who attend any of our events (children, young people and adults) who do not know the Lord to have their ears opened to the glorious, good news of the gospel.
  • Us to trust that God will work in and through us to build his kingdom.
 
Please pray for anything else that the Lord lays on your heart.
