The prayer points for this week.


12 – 18 August   
Pray for students as they rest and reconnect with friends, family, and church communities over the summer: that they would be encouraged in their walk with the Lord, filled with joy and hope each day. Pray they would be renewed and strengthened after a tough year.
Pray for the initial planning of the Belfast CUs City–Wide Mission taking place in January/February 2022. CUI Workers have been meeting with the CU Mission Secretaries to think this through. Pray for all involved as they aim to have a launch ready in time for the start of freshers’ events on 23 August.
