PRAYER FOCUS: CRECHE

Pray that many parents would use the Creche to enable them to get out to worship.

PRAYER FOCUS: ROMANIA

After four years service as General Secretary of IKE, Csaba Veres has recently stepped down from this role and is adapting to a new focus in ministry.  He will spend three days each week focusing on ‘International Relations’ in the IKE Office and two days assisting with paperwork related to the Caleb Project (the new halfway-house for teenagers from the Aksza Mission Home, which Darren and Nicola Aitcheson are helping to run).

     Prayer Points –

·        Csaba, as he adapts to a new role; and for wisdom and guidance in all that he does.

·        Andras Kocsis, the new General Secretary of IKE, that he will soon settle into this important job.

 

During Holy Week 2008 the BBC will be screening The Passion, a dramatic re-telling of the last days of Jesus, beginning tonight Palm Sunday and concluding on Easter Sunday 23rd March.

 

     +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We will be holding a Good Friday Service (21st) at 7.30pm in the Minor Hall.  At this service we will share together at the Lord’s Table, remembering all he has done for us.
