Unite Youth Group – Mike G, Lauren W & Amelia S
- Pray for continued deepening of Faith. From conversations with some of our YP, some don’t understand when they read the bible. Do pray for us as we seek to share practical ways to read and understand the bible, but ultimately for the Holy Spirit to help them understand as they read His word.
- It’s been great to have more young people come along, Praise God for growth of the group, and pray for courage for existing young people to invite friends.
- Pray for summer camps, following the closure of Soul Survivor in 2019, we are planning on taking our YP to a new festival called Satellites this summer. Historically these camps have been a huge blessing to the young people that have gone.
Puppets Ministry
- Please pray for the new team, that they continue to develop their skills and understand the real purpose of the puppets.
- Pray for wisdom in what we take on and what we don’t.
