Congregation to pray for this week

NEW LAMBTON Uniting Church meets twice on Sundays: intergenerational worship at 9.15, (50 attending, ages 2 to 95), then New City at 11.15am, a more informal service (25 attending), including many young families, with a shared morning tea. Kids Club, and Youth Group are held on alternate Friday nights, plus Faith@5, intergenerational worship held twice monthly on Saturday nights, in conjunction with Jesmond Park UC, followed by a shared dinner. We were blessed by the confirmation of 6 of our Youth Group members last year. We are working to form strong bonds with our local playgroup, and we engage with the wider community through our craft group, by providing homemade morning tea items for Ronald McDonald House, through a work team which assists locals to get on top of home maintenance. We are working to make our church grounds a more friendly and inviting place for all.

PRAYER:

We pray for openness and grace as members of our 2 services form bonds to become one congregation. For Kids Club and Youth Group to bring spiritual and emotional growth, and to energise their leaders. For our community initiatives to be a blessing to all.
