Christian Unions Ireland
The prayer points for this week.


16 – 22 December
Belfast Citywide Carol service- please pray for our Belfast citywide carol service. This is the second year
that all of the CU’s in Belfast have united together to organise a citywide carol service together. Pray
that many would come and hear the hope of Jesus. Also pray for the practicalities of having it in the
Kingspan rugby stadium, that everything would run smoothly, we would be good hosts and love our
students well
Pray for Maynooth CU, That God brings Christians on to campus and that a CU community of some kind
is formed and grows.
Pray for the upcoming opportunity for our CUs to host a carol service this Christmas. Pray that they
would have the boldness to invite their friends who don’t know Jesus along. And that through the carol
services they would hear the hope of the gospel in the Christmas message.
Please pray for the students in Letterkenny as they study and as the college merges with other colleges
to become part of the Atlantic Technological University. Please pray that this new chapter of the college
would be a time where God would move through the hearts of students in this part of the north west.
