Prayer notes from Friday 14th March 2024

​

Pray for the Sunday services. M Healy is due to take the two services in AYR and N Kenny, of the Christian Institute,

the morning service in KILWINNING.

 

· May K expects to be moving into Greenan Manor care home on the 1st of May. Give thanks that she now has a date to work towards. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

 

· There are a number of people who have not been out in the church recently due to various health issues. Pray for their recovery. Remember too those waiting on treatment and those caring for family members.

 

· Archie and Lucy MacD have not been in church in Ayr for many months now. They both have poor health and are out of touch as they don’t do the internet. Please remember them in prayer.

 

· Give thanks for answers to prayer in regard to our banking problems. There are now four bank signatories and the statements should no longer go to May’s house. This has taken pressure of Norman S and will also be a relief to May K.

 

· Pray for K Boyd in his role as Interim Moderator of the congregation. Give thanks for all the work he has done and continues to do in supplying us with preachers every Sunday. Pray also for our elders – Norman M, Norman S and Fab M. Pray for them as they provide support and direction to the two parts of the congregation.

 

· Healthy Gospel Church Pray that as a denomination we would be reaching out into our communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Pray that as churches we would be bold to proclaim the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ alone.

 

· CARE Pray for effective ways to be found to reduce the appalling waste of one third of all food produced globally, in the UK 9.5 million tonnes a year – while millions struggle to afford to eat. Please bless projects that redistribute surplus food to charities, foodbanks and other organisations.

 

· Prison Fellowship Scotland Pray for the BBC Documentary that is being filmed in HMP Barlinnie to show its history. Pray that it comes across in a positive light.

 

 

· Tearfund, Afghanistan Please pray for our local partners in Afghanistan, that they will be able to continue delivering life-saving aid to their communities despite the many challenges they face. Lift up our partner staff and their mental health, and ask God to give them the strength to continue working in difficult and uncertain circumstances to serve others. Pray for the people of Afghanistan, that they will find enough food where there is scarcity, enough warmth where there are harsh winter conditions, and work where there is unemployment.

· Please give thanks for a women’s group being set up in the congregation. Pray this will be of blessing to the women of the congregation and to the women in the community.

 

· Please pray that the congregation would be strengthened and encouraged in this time of Vacancy, that the Lord would grant wisdom to the Elders as they continue on.
