Prayer week: meeting 6 Social action
We concentrated on praying specifically for two initiatives we are running as a Church through this session. The Bridge, our work with those seeking to live free from addiction and the Well, our work seeking to support women struggling with postnatal depression.
Jackie Medler started by sharing some stories of the life change that has gone on at the Bridge, we didn’t really need much more motivation to start to pray for God to do more and for us to see more of the individuals from the Bridge coming into a living relationship with God and becoming pillars within the church.
From the starting point of the Bridge it led us to pray that we would always be a welcoming community as a church where no one would ever feel excluded.
Alison Stunt then shared how things were going in the Well and the need for wisdom to know how to take thing forward and the way inwhich the Well is gaining a positive reputation within the city. It was great to then give ourselves to praying for wisdom in knowing the right way forward and for increased influence to change how women are cared for in the city.
To finish off as we ran out of time we quickly called on God for provision for finances as we have lost £150k of government funding due to a change in policy. With faith we called on God who is able to provide all we need!
