As we continue to pray for salvation in 2016, our prayer topic for March focuses on our Easter outreaches:
- the ‘Churches Together’ Palm Sunday procession at Phoenix Park on Sunday 20th March (leaving church at 10 a.m., meeting for prayer at Houghton Road Centre in Thurnscoe at 10.15 a.m. and then meeting at Phoenix Park at 10.50 a.m.)
- the ‘Churches Together’ March of Hope through Goldthorpe on Easter Saturday (26th March), leaving our church at 10.15 a.m. and returning for a light lunch
- Easter services at GPCC on Good Friday (25th March) at 6 p.m. and on Easter Sunday (27th March) at 10.30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Pray for good conversations with people as we are out on the streets; we’ll be giving out ‘goody bags’ with leaflets and Easter eggs and are looking to God to connect us with people who are ready to hear the good news of salvation.
Speaking of Easter, a new film called ‘Risen’ is due to be released in the UK on 18th March. This has been produced by Affirm Films (makers of ‘War Room’, ‘Courageous’ and ‘Fireproof’) and is being distributed by Sony Films. It aims to tell the story of Christ’s resurrection as seen through the eyes of a Roman soldier (played by Joseph Fiennes) who is given the task of solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumours of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem. Pray that this film will have an impact on all who see it and that it will cause people to ponder again on the tremendous truths of Easter.
