100 days of prayer
The Church council (PCC) met on Monday and discussed how we can prepare as a church family for the arrival of our new vicar, Tim Partridge, and his family. One of the ideas that came out of this meeting was that we could each commit to pray for the next 100 days as we move into a new season for St John’s.
We will put some suggestions in the weekly news each week. Here are some to get us started.
1. Thank God for Tim’s appointment, and for answering our prayers for a godly and faithful pastor.
2. Thank God for the work of our parish reps (Janine, Nigel and Stuart) over the past year, through the ups and downs of the appointment process.
3. Pray for Tim and his family at the Keswick convention this week, for refreshment and encouragement.
4. Pray for St Andrew’s Plymouth as they come to terms with Tim leaving and make plans for the future.
5. Pray for Tim and Abby and the children, Mia, Zach and Toby as they come to terms with leaving Plymouth after 8 years.
6. Pray for the work to get the vicarage ready for their arrival, that it would be a lovely family home for them.
7. Pray for us all to be looking to Jesus, the true shepherd of the sheep, and trusting in him alone.
