Prayer Points:
Pray that God would choose our next Minister for us, and that, whoever He chooses, both he and any family he has would be clear and know in their hearts that coming to Carryduff is what God wants them to do.
Pray for great wisdom and discernment from God for the Session members as they try to assess the ministers on the list.
Pray that the Conversion Practices Bill currently before the Stormont Assembly would fail.
Pray for God's protection for and mercy on, us as Christians, all parents raising children, and all who should receive council.
Pray that the House Group Bible studies would be a source of encouragement and building up in the faith for the members of the congregation.
Pray for the Convenor of our Vacancy, the Rev. Dr Sam Bostock, in his ministry both to us and to the congregation of First Saintfield.
We ask all these things in Jesus’ name.
Amen
