PRAYER POINTS
1. Pray for our Community at Christmas. Pray for the ministry of all
churches, sharing the Good News of Jesus, providing opportunity for
people to slow down and think, ministering practically to members.
2. Pray for our students and young people who have come home. Ask that
they have a great time and reconnect with our Church family.
3. Pray for our members who are away from home at Christmas. Remember especially Peter & Ann Crawford, Joy Fleming and Lydia Fleming.
4. Pray for families who are feeling the pressure of uncertain employment
and limited finance.
5. Pray for Churches and others working in the Community with many people who find Christmas stressful and full of disappointment.
6. Pray for the church in the Middle East—in many countries believers are
suffering very real persecution.
7. Pray for all our families who have suffered bereavement in the last 12
months. Ask the Lord to give an awareness of his presence when the
feeling of loss is greatest.
If you have prayer requests please contact the Church Office or Carol Wilson.
Thank you so much to everyone in First Coleraine for your
love and prayers during our time in Ireland in November. It
was good to mark the start and end of the month in the
Prayer Room, to join with everyone at the Big Breakfast the
Sunday we left, and to be able to visit almost all of the home
groups. Many thanks to all for your ongoing financial support, and we trust you will have a joyful Christmas.
