Sunday 2nd Sept 2012 Prayer Focus



Youth and Children’s Ministry.  As weekly youth activities begin we are working towards much closer cooperation between our different organisations.
Pray for those have been asked to lead this process.
 Children’s Ministry Coordinator (Primary) – Anne Crossett
 Youth Ministry Coordinator (Yr8+) – Keith Hibbert.
In June Jackie Smyth stepped down as Sunday School Superintendent and we thank for his work over the years. We have realigned our Sunday School and Bible Class with Youth and Children. Deborah Campbell has agreed to lead our Junior Sunday School (Primary), Wesley and Heather continue with those who are Yr8+
Give thanks for all the children who started Sunday School today and pray that they will settle in quickly.  Pray for the teachers as they prepare their lessons that they will know Gods help and that through this ministry children might come to know Christ as Saviour and grow in their faith.  Pray for wisdom, vision and strength for all leaders.
Back to School. Give thanks for all who are involved in education.  Pray for encouragement for students and teachers especially those who re starting in new place.  Give thanks for the many opportunities to bring Christian influence in school.  Pray for RE Teachers and Scripture Union leaders as they seek to bring the gospel truth to young people so that they might have a strong spiritual foundation.
Paralympics 2012.  Give thanks for the Paralympics which helps raise global awareness of what people with disabilities can do.  Pray for encouragement and strength for carers and those living with disabilities.  Pray for those living in countries such as Uganda where a disabled child is seen as a punishment or a curse.  Pray for Christian Organisations such as Leprosy Mission and other Tear Fund partners who seek to support those with disabilities and advocate to governments on their behalf.
