Christian Unions Ireland
The prayer points for this week.


19 – 25 November 
Graduates: pray for our final year students as they consider what life looks like after university. That they would know the peace and comfort of our good God and that they would enjoy and glorify him wherever they end up post uni.
Praise God for Queen’s CU small groups. The launch night this year saw some groups having over 30 in them, which of course presents a challenge for the leaders! Please pray for the small group leaders, and Chris as small group coordinator, as they work through the blessing of having so many people, and may these numbers of people continue throughout the year to come together, encouraging one another to grow in Christ as they study God’s word and pray together.
Pray that the CU as a whole has captured the vision of CU and are willing and enthusiastic to share their faith as the semester gets busy. That the students in UCD would rely on Christ through everything and staying grounded in his word in busy times.

A short devotional video each week day, this week from Revelation 7

Let’s Pray For National Safeguarding Adults Week 
Taking place from 21-27 November, this is an opportunity for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. Please pray for Jacqui Montgomery-Devlin, PCI Head of Safeguarding, as she continues to raise the profile of Adult Safeguarding by providing training sessions across a number of presbyteries. Pray that the week will enable more organisations and individuals to feel confident in recognizing the signs of abuse and neglect, and recording and reporting their safeguarding concerns. 

Policing & Crime 
​
Give thanks for the work of An Garda Síochána and the PSNI in tackling criminality and 
protecting local communities, including many vulnerable people in society. Pray for breakthroughs that will bring those seeking to cause harm to justice, and for protection as they go about their work.

General Council

Pray for the General Secretary’s Department as staff continue to support large numbers of committees, panels and task groups meeting over these weeks. Pray that this important administrative work might facilitate good decision making in these various bodies.

Training in Ministry The Ministerial Studies and Development Committee oversees the training pathways of trainee ministers, and their congregational placements. Pray for the Committee, for its convener, Rev Andrew Faulkner, and for Prof David Leach, the Professor of Ministry. Ask God to give wisdom in all of the decisions about the training of students.
