January Prayer Prompts
New Year is often a time when we take stock & give some thought to how we would like things to pan out in the next few months. How aware are we when we’re doing that that God already has plans for our lives? They’re the best plans around – plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. They apply not just to our individual futures (which God is very concerned about) but also to the direction we’re going in together as a church. God’s plan will work; if ours are different, they won’t. So it’s vital for each of us to ask him to show us how he wants our lives, & the life of his church, to develop..  [more]
Choir
