So our time between Ascension and Pentecost encourages this sense of expectancy.
For our prayers together, as a Church family, may I outline some areas where together we are seeking to share the Lord's love among those we live.
Our Youth Minister
Our advert is out soon, we wait on the Spirit to see who He is calling to be with us to encourage this vital work.
Our APCM
Where we will be looking back and in the main looking forward to what God might be calling us to do and be together. Will the Spirit create a willing hearing and participation? We will have to wait and see and in prayer ask Him to come with expectancy.
Our open churchyard week
In keeping with significant national profile will there be a local stirring to visit our wide open space for stimulus and conversation. This will be great fun for us but it is aimed at passers by and members of the public who regularly benefit from our wonderful grounds
Our lives together
Will the Spirit move His people to be active and caring in drawing others back to our Church building? Will the anticipation of loosened voices to sing soon lead to a willingness to help and serve our many ministries. The Spirit is waiting for volunteers to fall upon and bring His own special joy? We would love to see a good Spirit storm on this. I am reminded of our recent hailstorm, may we actively wait for the Spirit to so move.
With my thanks for supporting us in prayer in these and in so many other ways.
