January Prayer Points

Our Churches

• The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity starts on 18th January.  This month we would like to pray for all the Christian Churches in Ashby.  That we may come together to share the truth of the Gospel in our town.

Ashby and area

• Building on the theme for this year, "Work for peace for all people everywhere" - and the passage from Ephesians 4 v1-13 on one body one spirit pray for unity between Christians. Pray for peace in our town. for working together for the benefit of all - between all the organisations in our area that work for the benefit of the community
• Pray also for our community groups who support those in need in this cold season and for our local council and leaders in their decision making to support all across our locality.  May our Churches lead by example locally.

Our nation

• Pray for those in leadership in the different Christian denominations in the UK.  When under pressure can we pray that decisions and leadership is centred on God and his word?
• Pray also for mission in our own country - for workers to go out and spread the true Gospel.  For welcome and open ears in the communities they serve in and for the financial support they need.

Our world

• Pray for the international Church.  Pray for peace between denominations and for working together as one body with one spirit united in one hope.  May we draw on our shared heritage and reflect on our one fellowship in Christ
• Daily reflections and prayers for the week beginning 18th January can be found here. We will be using these at our prayer meeting this month.
