July looks like being quite busy and we are very much looking forward to the Community Open Day on Saturday 9th July to celebrate 6 years since our move to Market Street. Please pray for this event which will see us opening from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., serving refreshments and doing craft activities (glass painting, making key rings, building Jenga towers and houses and all kinds of other craft fun) as well as giving children the opportunity to have their faces painted! There will be a pilgrim trail to find out more about the church, and photos and displays on show in the church building so you can discover what has been happening in the past six years since we moved to Market Street.

In the evening at 6 p.m., we will be holding a family film night, so if you’d like to watch a film and enjoy some supper with us, please do come along to that.

Prayer undergirds everything we do as a church, so we want people to pray for all the church outreach to the community (through the different activities run here) and especially that the community will come along to the Open Day and have a great time. If you want to help to advertise this event, some of us will be giving out invitations on Saturday (2nd July) after the coffee morning. Come along for 12 noon if you want to help with this!

Other prayer requests for July will focus on future church projects and plans, asking God to lead and guide us as we continue to trust Him. The Christian life is often likened to a journey: we can’t afford to stand still, but need to keep pressing on in God!
