Congregation to pray for this week
MEDOWIE & TILLIGERRY (GRAHAMSTOWN) Tilligerry Uniting Church at Tanilba Bay sits on the shores of Port Stephens. Medowie Uniting Church is 20 kms away, also in Port Stephens LGA, on the edge of Grahamstown Dam (both on the lands of the Worimi people). These centres are two of five worship centres making up Grahamstown Multi Centre Congregation. The two centres alternate with worship, each hosting in turn. Each is a welcoming place in the community. Together, our folk are a living example of God’s love in the community – active and innovative.
PRAYER
We pray for our Uniting Church family at Tilligerry and Medowie. Gracious God be with them, encouraging and connecting their communities of faith as they look to the future. Guide, equip and enrich them, as they consider initiatives and projects, ensuring that their worship centres are vibrant and welcoming places. Both centres are grateful for the spiritual oversight and guidance of all who lead mission and worship and the lay preachers who minister in all centres. Amen
