Hebrews 10: 23-25
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Pray that God will encourage our seniors to share the hope they profess with others in their age group who do not yet know Jesus. Pray that they would invite these people to join the monthly service.
Pray for those attending the monthly Bible study, that they will grow in their knowledge of the Bible and its message of salvation and share this good news with others. Pray particularly for Graham Mosely and Marie Drew as they lead the Bible study group.
Constitution Hill
There is also a monthly Christian gathering at Constitution Hill on a Sunday afternoon.
Give thanks for the Christian who meet at Constitution Hill. Pray that many will come, that a clear Gospel message will be proclaimed, as well as a challenge to those who belong to Christ to be bold for him. Pray that God will bear fruit in and through the lives of many more Seniors, as well as their carers and families, so that they commit to Christ and live their lives for him.
