Newsletter from Richard – 21st May 2020
Thy Kingdom Come – Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus, with prayers and other resources for the period between Ascension Day and Pentecost (21st – 31st May 2020).
Faith @ Home – Faith at Home is a national campaign from the Church of England that builds on the work of Growing Faith and Everyday Faith to support the faith development and pastoral care of children and young people. There are resources and videos for parents and families at the link above.
Why not download and print this picture of praying hands and put it up in your window to let your neighbours, and those who pass by your home, know that you are praying at this critical time.
It’s way of expressing the hope we have in God, but it will also encourage others as they pray, perhaps for the first time.
You can find the poster (and other versions of it) here

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Leadership of Christ Church have decided to NOT open the church for private prayer.
This has been a difficult decision to make but feels the right thing to do in these ever changing times.
Please continue to check in here or on our Facebbok or Twitter pages for further updates. We will be asking for prayer requests daily so please do let us know of them.
