Is that praying?

I am running a race and I want to be first

Please God let me win

I say but do I pray

Is that praying?

I am plahing with my friends

And everything fine

I lost track of mine.

I am glad to be alive today, I say

To no one in particular.

Is that praying?

Things have gone wrong

An argument-a fight

I couldn’t sleep at all last night.

Is that praying?

Sadly, this year our fete for Mongu has been cancelled. We hope that it may be possible to have some other fundraising events towards the end of the year.

Please continue to support the London and Slough Runs. They are in need of very simple things: cereals, rice, pasta, tinned tomatoes, tinned soup, tinned meat, tinned tuna, toiletries.

Maria Cox has an abundance of chard, beetroot and spinach plants. If you would like some give her a ring on 01494 670461

Dear All,

As requested we are sharing some further information with you to help advertise the TKC 36 hours of prayer in your churches this weekend.

 Please feel free to use what will be helpful for you and your church; we are suggesting that where possible we all share the sign up sheet link on Sunday evening/Monday morning 

We hope these are helpful to you and are excited for what God will do amongst us as we unite to pray. 

Many blessings 

Jo and Jane 

Suggested Email/ News Sheet Content ...for sharing this week with further emails to follow with reminders and Zoom info etc

In just a couple of weeks time (21st May to 31st May) we have the opportunity to take part in the global prayer initiative 'Thy Kingdom Come' that runs each year for 11 days between Ascension Day and Pentecost Sunday. Whilst this year will look different, it has also presented us with the opportunity to unite with other local churches and pray ....for our world, our nation, our local area and for friends and family who don't yet know Jesus.

We have decided to join together with other local churches to pray over 2 days, with people from all churches having the opportunity to sign up and commit to pray.  This 36 hours of prayer will take place between 8am on Wednesday 27th May and 8pm on Thursday 28th May and we will be emailing out a link to a sign up sheet soon ( or here is the link to the sign up sheet) , so that everyone can take part. There are 7 local churches currently signed up: the Community Church, Cores End URC, St Pauls, St Peters, St Marks, Christ Church and Flackwell Heath Methodist Church. During the 36 hours, alongside opportunity to pray in our own homes, we are planning several times of united prayer and worship which will be accessible via Zoom....( more info to follow) 

Link for Sign up Sheet... please include some simple suggestions for using this and do have a look at this yourself. Good to include a contact name and number for those in your churches who would not be able to sign up themselves for whatever reason.   https://tinyurl.com/ycwkzzry
