Tuesday: the power of gathering in His name
In the second devotional of our Week of Prayer and Fasting, Ann Robinson reflects on the power of gathering in God's name, using Matthew 18:19-20 as the foundation: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." She highlights the importance of both corporate worship and smaller gatherings, such as small groups and ministry activities, as spaces where we encounter God’s presence. Ann encourages us to spend time in quiet worship, prayer, and petitioning for revival in our communities, while also giving thanks for the outreach ministries that serve others.
Reflections for our week of Prayer and Fasting. Monday: Breathing in
In the first devotional of our Week of Prayer and Fasting, Ellen Hopkin reflects on "Breathing In" as we encounter God’s presence. Drawing from Exodus 33:14, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest," she encourages us to invite God's presence into the mundane moments of life, such as a chaotic Monday morning. Ellen suggests that true rest comes not from external circumstances, but from living in the presence of God. As we breathe in more of God, we can experience peace, even in the midst of life’s challenges.

The Building Project - next steps
Wasn’t it fantastic, last Sunday, to celebrate the £127,000 that we raised in our latest building gift days. I had shared during the gift days that my prayer was that we maximised the £50,000 matching funding that we had be offered. So, to see us maximising and then going well beyond is just incredible. Thank you to everyone that gave.
