Tuesday
Little Freshers – Rebecca Horne
- Give thanks for the families and childminders that have been since restarting in September.
- Pray for the good relationships and significant conversations.
- Pray that Little Freshers will be a steppingstone for families to engage with other church activities, e.g., B@9
- For little ones who haven’t had the opportunity to mix and develop due to the lockdowns; it has also been a lonely time for many new parents.
- Pray that we will be able to continue running the group in a safe way and have enough helpers.
Tuesday Fellowship – John Cairns
- Pray that COVID will not lead to further restrictions, limiting the informal times of fellowship.
- Pray for all those involved in making the Tuesday sessions as lively and interesting as possible. Particularly those with responsibility for leading sessions (Alan Bailey, John Cairns, Pauline Palmer and Simon King).
- Pray for the various speakers
- Pray for those who work in the background (Pat and John Hacker) & those who provide refreshments (Carole Carter)
- Pray for the thirty+ who come along each week and offer their support in so many ways.
- Pray that the meeting continues to grow and appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds; helping them to become passionate, courageous, and determined to lead lives that honour God and advance His Kingdom.
Home groups – John Cairns
- Pray that the latest spike in COVID infections will not lead to further restrictions on people meeting together in person.
- Pray that everyone in the church will commit themselves to a Home Group, where we can enjoy closer relationships and grow together in the Christian Faith.
- Pray for each of the Home Group leaders as they seek to organise sessions to study the Bible, pray, support, and encourage one another.

Freshbrook Food Distribution Point (Foodbank) – Julie B + Steve C
