Let’s Pray For Sonya Anderson (deaconess in Shore Street, Donaghadee)
Give thanks for the children's and adults’ groups that are beginning to meet in-person. Pray that God will use these gatherings to restore a sense of community and that people will be encouraged in their faith. Pray for wisdom as the congregation seeks a new minister. Kilkenny Give thanks for fresh beginnings with the induction of Rev Jonathan Currie last month as minister, and a great openness to the preaching of God’s Word. As restrictions further ease, pray for discernment about what activities to restart and when to restart them. |

Will it ever stop? https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/despair-well/ |
