Invitation to Pray – Sat 22nd Jan

At the recent church members’ meeting we heard about the new proposal regarding our future pastoral staff structure. It is vital that we, as a church, seek to know the mind of Christ in this matter before any decision is made. Please join us, therefore, for a time of prayer tomorrow morning at 9.30am in the coffee hall at Priory Street. We will meet regularly at this time for the next few Saturdays to pray over this issue. If you were not at the meeting and would like to know what the proposal is, please speak to any of the leadership team.

Dates for your diaries and help needed!
