Thy Kingdom Come -10-20
May
The Archbishop of Canterbury is
once again urging churches across the world to use
the 10 days leading up to Pentecost to pray for
people to come to faith in Jesus Christ. Sign up
to get involved and encourage everyone in your
church to pray especially for five
people.
Prayer for Peace - Saturday 4
AugustCould we set up several events
around the Island for this national Day of Prayer?
- On 4th August 1918 King George V called a
national day of prayer; 99 days passed and on the
100th day the war ended. In 2018 we will be
marking the 99 days before Armistice Day on Sunday
11th November 2018, praying for peace in the world
but also peace in the hearts of men and women,
that they might be reconciled to God through
Jesus.
Pray for Newport
I went to the ‘Shaping Newport’ Business
Workshop last week, where there was a lot of
common sense and some good discussion. No massive
surprises, but as well as the predictable subjects
(parking, traffic, general tattiness, lack of
things to do, too many empty shops / charity shops
/ betting shops, etc.), there was a general
feeling that
Newport has lost its heart /
vision / sense of purpose. Apparently,
some holiday coach parties that come over (and
still love the Island) now ask to be taken to
Bournemouth on day trips in preference to
Newport!
It seems to me that this
loss of vision and purpose is a valid matter for
prayer / thought / engagement in some form or
other, particularly for Newport churches.

Please Pray for ‘Community
Spirited’ A care agency with a
big heart. It was born out of faith and the love
of God. We are very family orientated and are
having trouble recruiting the right people who
want to make a difference. The people who work for
me are not all Christians but they have a very
caring nature.
Our services are in demand, we
would like to recruit carers in the local areas of
East Cowes and Wootton to cut the travel time for
them and us.
We are also preparing to reach out
to people with our community group called
‘Community Spirited Cafe’ - a place where the
vulnerable people of our community can feel safe
and valued. Where we can work together for a much
more positive future. Where we can do God’s
work.
