Circuit Prayer Diary – Day Ten

Praying for Hatfield Road Methodist Church

Presbyter: Revd Andrew Prout

Senior Steward: Denise Willingham

Dear Lord, we give you thanks for the success of the 125^th anniversary celebrations in 2019 and the impetus this has provided for outreach and mission. We pray for the conversations with Marlborough Road Methodist Church which seek to deepen the working together of the two Churches, including the hopes to employ both a Children’s and Families Worker, and an Anna Chaplain in 2020. We pray for those who have joined the Church over the last year and for those who have moved away from St. Albans who are greatly missed.

We give thanks for the diversity of the congregation, and pray for its members facing uncertainty in the workplace and in the job market. We give thanks for the many points of contact with the community including the Aldersgate Café, Daycare, Brigade, Babies and Toddlers and regular social events.

We pray for the Sunday Club and for the variety of forms of worship by which the Church seeks to touch people’s lives, and we pray for the growing in Christ of every member and for faithfulness and courage in mission. Amen.
