​

 

· Give thanks that Mary M is now driving again following her hip surgery. Keep praying for her as she continues her recovery.

​

 

· Norman S visited Murdina M in hospital on Monday after Hope Corner and found her to be in good spirits. Give thanks that she got out of hospital shortly after this and is now back in the care home.

​

 

· May K is comfortable in the care home but is now becoming increasingly frail. She is eager to go home to her Lord. Please pray that she will enjoy God’s comfort and presence at this time.

​

 

· Remember others who are no longer able to attend the church including the other two in care homes – Duncan C (senior) and Irene B.

​

 

· Audrey N’s father passed away on Tuesday. Please pray for Audrey and Jonathan at this distressing time. (Audrey and Jonathan used to attend the church in Ayr when they lived locally and are still regular visitors.)

​

 

· Give thanks for the work done by Angela C in designing posters with our service details to be displayed, if possible, in student venues in Ayr and also in other places like the library. Please pray that there will be a willingness to display these posters and that they will be read.

​

 

· Give thanks for the good turnout at the congregational meeting (Ayr only) on Thursday taken by our Interim Moderator K Boyd. It was good to have Kenny with us for this meeting though the business part of the meeting was very short.

​

 

· The Glasgow and Argyll Presbytery are due to meet on Tuesday the 13th. As Norman S is still on holiday we will be represented by our Interim Moderator, K Boyd, at this meeting. Please pray for a profitable meeting.

​

 

· SU Scotland Our annual Ayrshire Secondary Weekend to Lendrick Muir, 6 - 8 November 2026, is open to all pupils in S1-S6 across Ayrshire. Please pray for the leadership team as they prepare the material for this camp and for the young people who will attend.

​

 

· Rebecca Tait, OM Please continue to pray for stability in the teaching team and the provision of a new teacher.

Dumisani

· We give thanks for the commitment of Dr David Galletta who has been coming now for several years as a visiting lecturer to Dumisani Institute in the Eastern Cape from the USA. We prayer for his travels and that he be granted strength and health as he teaches the first half of October at Dumisani.

 

· Pray for the class on homiletics which has 35 students which Dr Galletta will be teaching this month at Dumisani, SA. Several practical assignments are incorporated into the class work and so we pray also that each student will benefit greatly.

 

​

Pray for Dr Galletta as he also is out doing preaching in local churches while he is at Dumisani in the Eastern Cape. This is a wonderful way of connecting and bringing unity of purpose and mission.

 

Back Free Church

· Prayer for our Teens Group which has grown this year with a good leadership team engaging the Teens (S2-S5) with a variety of Gospel focused meetings.

 

· We are thankful to be able to run two Sunday Schools during term time in Back and Tong. Please pray for the children and teachers.
