Monthly Prayer Harmony: July 2010

Prayer Harmony is a group of people from Holy Trinity, who pray for the church and the surrounding district, including other churches, the police, and also the charities that the church supports. We would be delighted to add your name to our mailing list each month, so that prayer will truly underpin the work and witness of Holy Trinity. It involves prayer in your own home, each month receiving advice on where prayer is needed. We would welcome others to join us, please contact the church office

July 2010

Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the heights above. Ps 148:1

We praise God for the wonderful world that we live in, and the fun that will be had when the Churches Together in Formby hold the Fun Day in the Park, this month. We pray for a good turnout of families wanting to enjoy themselves, and that they will realise that God and His people want to share His blessings with the people of the district. We pray that there will be enough helpers to make the setting up etc. very easy.

We pray for the preparations for Holiday Club, for the helpers and organisers, for the children who will come, and for the parents who will hear the children’s accounts and see the hand of the Lord, on the fortnight of play.

As Sea Sunday is in July, we pray for the Mission to Seafarers and all that come in contact with them. We pray for all that go down to the sea in ships, for the shrimpers and cockle pickers, for the deep sea fishermen and for both the Merchant and Royal Navies. Technology has given them safer ships, but the sea is still treacherous and the chance of encountering pirates just as possible as in the old days.

We pray for Messy Church which will take place at both the Ravenmeols Centre and Redgate, this month. We pray for the families and the helpers that they will grow together as a real Church, forming friendships and helping each other. We pray for the welfare of all the children of the district, as they start the summer holidays, and have time on their hands.

We pray for families especially those with toddlers at Rosemary lane & the new crèche arrangements with songs & stories alongside Lazerbeams. We pray for additional support for the Lazerbeam leaders, we pray for one or even two new leaders for our children’s work.

We pray for Vicky Rogers as she goes to Imagine in Mozambique, to help Lorraine and Imelda in their work with the people there. We pray for her safety and health, and that she will grow in faith and grace through her experiences.

We pray for the Ministry team: we pray for Keith and Meg; Kath and Dave; John and Val; John and Margaret and all the Readers, that they may be rested over the summer, and able to find time with their families.

We pray for all the teams that reach out to the people of Formby, with support and friendship and tea and cakes. We pray for the group that meet on Wednesday in the Workshop, for friendship and entertainment. (They used to meet in the Ravenmeols Centre, and have come into the Workshop.) We pray for the Workshop Coffee mornings on Saturday, which have become an institution, with a loyal clientele from all over Formby and beyond. We pray for Celia’s Coffee Morning on Tuesday, another place of friendship and support. We give thanks to God for the people that give up their time and effort so that these enterprises may be reliable and successful.

We pray for all those couples that are getting married this summer, and for those planning their weddings in the near future. We give thanks to God for their love for each other, and ask that He surround their homes with His presence and hold them in His hands, as they set out in life together, forming a new family and starting the next generation.

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. Titus 1:4

God bless you , Sylvia
