Christian Unions Ireland
The prayer points for this week.


25th – 31st March
We praise God for Easter and the work of the Cross, pray that students during this season would be able to reach out onto their campus to share the Good News of a Saviour who died for them, but who also rose conquering the grave! 
As the final few months of the semester arrive, please pray for our final year students. Pray they would be able to reflect on their time at university and see God’s hand through it all and trust He will continue to lead and guide them in this next season post university. Pray they would feel God’s peace which surpasses all understanding as they finish out these last few months.
