You know there is a saying that tells you that if you wait for a bus then you seem to wait for an age then two come along together. Well it has been a bit like that this last week. .....except that three buses came along!
On Sunday we took part in Prayer for the Baptist Family in Wales and across the world., and it was part of Fairtrade Fortnight, also. However the week has been , in addition, Global Poverty Prayer Week 2010, under the banner 'One Voice
We learnt last Sunday how prayer is important and in our context the key element in our on-going growth as a Church. and it is equally important in transforming this World.. With this in mind would you take a few moments in prayer, even as you read this newsletter, to add your voice to act for justice, mercy and an end to poverty. TEARFUND is encouraging us to pray about specific places and issues and of particular relevance to us would be praying around water and sanitation. and the worth of water that we so much take for granted. You may remember that as Church we have given financially to the building of water tanks in Kigezi, Uganda. Do pray for these communities.
.
The theme for this prayer-time has been ...'One Voice, One People, One Prayer.'.......be part of it.
'shine like stars in the Universe as you hold out the word of life'...Phill. 2:15... If you do nothing else make sure you pray
