Dear Friends,

We have prepared this prayer diary as a tool to guide us through the months, with both local and mission partner topics for prayer.  We hope that you will find these prayer themes useful and that as we pray, we will feel connected to one another in Jesus’ name.

Please remember that there are always topical prayer pointers on the weekly bulletin, the latest is here.

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in trouble and constant in prayer.” Romans 12v12
