Let’s Pray For Social Witness
As the new school year begins, pray for children and young people who are experiencing bullying, for strength not to give in and to always tell a trusted adult. Pray especially for those targeted by bullies online. On These Steps Today a special event takes place at Union Theological College marking the role it played in hosting the first NI Parliament 100 years ago. Pray that those who attend and watch online would have an opportunity to reflect on our shared past and also be enabled to look forward with Christian hope to a shared future across these islands. General Council Pray for the Clerk, Deputy Clerk and all the staff in the General Secretary’s Department as they make final preparations for the General Assembly. Pray especially that there will be time for the necessary precautions in what is a very busy autumn period in church life. Council for Training in Ministry The Auxiliary Ministry Scheme training course that started in Jan 2020, has been completed, after a Covid-19 delay, with the Service of Accreditation tomorrow night. Give thanks for the nine trainees. Pray that Auxiliary Ministry posts will be created in congregations, and that the Lord will use them to build his Church. |
