Praying in Peterboro

I had a good day in Yaxley Deanery yesterday

• talking to the chapter about their mission actions
• giving a teaching session on how to make our churches places of prayer, for over 20 clergy and lay ministers
• enjoying a very tasty steak and ale pie
• and confirming over 20 candidates young and old, and from near and far (Canada!) at Stanground

Thankyou very much to everyone who helped make it such a success, and if you’d like to follow up on the prayer theme how about:

Saying One for You

I was humbled and delighted by the prayer requests I received on Wednesday in Ely Cathedral and along the High Street – and many thanks to the team who went out with me and to Look East for filming us and including the footage in that night’s programme.

We turned our own Kodak Brownie on the delightful cameraman – and loved the opportunity to snap him filling in one of the cards as well. Whatever the wider concerns about the church and the media, we enjoy very good relationships locally and it’s good to be able to work together like this.

 

I collected just under a hundred requests “live”; some others have come in via email or this blog, and you can still add your own by visiting the national website http://sayoneforme.org/.
