This week we begin a new series Finding Jesus! We are going to the Old Testament into the book of Genesis to Find Jesus, as we discover Jesus in places we never noticed before.
Let’s Pray For Dave Gray (chaplain in Derryvolgie, Q.U.B. & U.T.C.)
Praise God for the summer mission team in August, that many kids were blessed with Bible camp and two young men came to faith in Jesus. Pray for students at Derryvolgie and the wider campus; for safety, health, friendships, community and for the new Assistant Chaplain, Lyndsey Watterson. Drogheda Pray for the members, that they will know God’s leading as they plan the autumn season, for growth in godliness and for opportunities to share the gospel with the local community. |
