Youth and children
 
Please give thanks for
  • the holiday club and the follow up to it.
  • the new arrangements for Sunday school and creche that are working well.
  • the number of new people who have started coming to Tuesday Bay Ignite and the change of format that has been so well received.
 
Please pray for
  • the upcoming harvest celebrations with the three primary schools.
  • the preparations schools are already making for the Christmas services and for the opportunity we have to share the good news of Jesus.
  • the youth group to continue to be a place where the youngsters want to come to.
  • the youth group Bible studies to continue to engage the youngsters well as they are at the moment.
  • the wisdom to know how to meet the needs of older teenagers as they outgrow the youth group.
  • that God would hold onto them while we work out how to meet this obvious need.
  • the Baby and Toddler group leaders to continue to be able to build relationships with those who attend so that we can begin to share the good news of Jesus.
  • the experienced and new leaders in the baby and toddler group to be built into a team where all have a part to play.
  • the creche to be provided with all the leaders and helpers needed and especially for Hazel as she oversees this ministry.
  • the creche to be a place where even the youngest experience the love of Jesus.
  • the families with new babies in their family to adjust to the change this brings.
  • the junior church/Sunday school to have regular attendance with the children encouraging their parents to bring them every week.
  • the junior church leaders to be given imagination and wisdom as they prepare each week.
  • more families to join with us and so get to know Jesus for themselves.
Please pray for anything else that the Lord lays on your heart.
