The Lord’s Prayer: Our Father

Prayer of the week:

Let your merciful ears, O lord,

be open to the prayers of your humble servants;

and that they may obtain their petitons

make them to ask such things as shall please you;

through Jesus Christ your Son our lord,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Post Communion:

God of our pilgrimage,

you have willed that the gate of mercy

should stand open for those who trust in you:

look upon us with your favour

that we who follow the path of your will

may never wander from the way of life;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE OUTREACH TEAM

The Outreach Team are currently meeting fortnightly to pray, in preparation for the commencement of Evangelistic Activities in the autumn.

The main Tenet of this Ministry is to fulfil the Great Commission of Jesus Christ and to Make Disciples of all Nations by equipping Christian to Win, Build and Send people for Christ.

As we are taught, we then teach others to disciple others so they may grow in their faith.

Paul Dembo is leading the Outreach Team, but is away at the moment and will be taking us through the training based on the Scriptures and two downloadable worksheets from his website... They are Basics of Christian Life 1 and 2.

Most of the Team have downloaded the books and are familiarising themselves with it, and working on the questions set by the author, and I shall suggest we begin to have discussions on these during August so that we can measure how we are getting on, and for any questions or suggestions.

I am very excited about the Outreach Team and my prayer is that we grow in the Grace of God throughout this Journey

Catherine Miller

Dates for the next Outreach Meetings are as follows:

September 5^th, 12^th, 19^th & 26^th.
