BUGB PRAYER GUIDE 2009

STORIES:

13 - 19 December 2009 Lode Chapel

Message from Simon Goddard, minister at Lode Chapel:

Over the last few months the RE:NEW Kids Club and RE:NEW Café have been attracting almost 90 people (compared to about 30 people at the Chapel each week). Following a series of church meetings in September and October, the church membership unanimously decided to move all of our morning services to the primary school from the end of February 2010. Despite next year being our 200th anniversary at the Chapel there is a real sense that God is doing something new and is calling us to ‘go’. Under the ecumenical RE:NEW banner, we are praying that these new services at the school will provide an opportunity for the families coming to the Kids Club and Café on the second Sunday of the month to be discipled and grow in their faith.

Please pray for:

  • Continued unity of vision in our ecumenical partnership
  • Continued provision of resources and personnel
  • A fresh move of God’s Spirit so that lives are changed and families transformed
  • Clarity of vision for the ongoing church and community use of the Chapel.

    20 - 26 December 2009 Christmas

    Message from Jeff Bonser, Sing Christmas:

    Please pray for:

  • The Sing Christmas carol service on Monday 21 December 7-8pm broadcast live from the Highcross Shopping Centre in the centre of Leicester. Taking part is the Revd Dianne Tidball, Regional Minister Team Leader of the East Midlands Baptist Association.
  • People in around 100 venues across the region who will be joining in with Sing Christmas from Highcross by tuning in to the live broadcast on BBC Radio Leicester and singing along
  • That’s the opportunity for community involvement this offers so many churches who are supporting the venues in their area
