Prayer Notes from Friday 17 April 2026

​

Pray for the Sunday services. The KILWINNING service is to be taken by D Paterson. The Lord’s Supper is to be celebrated at this service. The morning service in AYR is to be taken by D Gumprecht and the evening service by Dan Paterson.

​

 

· We were delighted to have D Gumprecht take his first services in Ayr last Sunday. He started a series on the psalms with Psalm 8 in the morning and Psalm 19 at night. We look forward to the rest in this series. Please continue to pray for the Gumprecht family.

​

 

· It was good to have our prayers answered with Murdina M being out at the church last Sunday morning with her daughter Sandra and son-in-law Frans. Keep praying for Murdina and the others in care homes – May K, Irene B and Duncan C (senior).

​

 

· Give thanks for a number of visitors at our morning service last Sunday in Ayr and for the many who stayed for tea afterwards, leading to crowded tables. It was good to have some local people who had not been before. This included a lady from Zimbabwe working in Ayr, who stayed for the tea, and another couple who said they would come back. Please pray that these people will come back and that God will keep sending others along to us.

​

 

· Archie M passed away peacefully on Thursday evening Please pray for Lucy and the rest of Archie’s family.

​

 

· Marie O is going for a knee operation on Monday. Pray that this will go ahead and be successful.

 

· Keep praying for James M who is struggling. Another of his friends died recently and he is very down.

​

 

· Scripture Union Ayrshire J Bain is leading a weekend at Lendrick Muir for P5-P7 children from across Ayrshire, starting 24th April. Pray for lots of fun as they try out new activities and for the Holy Spirit to be at work as they explore the Bible. (Grace and Eva C are booked for this event.)

​

 

· Women for Mission Give thanks for the work of WfM and the resourcing of mission work they undertake. Please pray for the Annual Get Together which will take place on Saturday 16th May at 2pm at Crow Road Free Church, Glasgow. Pray that as reports and updates are given, that God would be glorified in all the work that has taken place over the last year.

R Tait, OM

· Please pray for the city of Málaga, especially now just after Semana Santa. Pray that the people will come to know the truth of the gospel and give thanks for those sharing the good news of Jesus in Spain.

 

· Give thanks for a good end to the school Spring term - please pray for the children and their families as they stay onshore during dry dock that it will be a time of rest for them and they will come back ready for next term. Please pray for the all of the challenge teams as they prepare or are already out and pray for dry dock and those staying onboard the ship - please particularly pray for my team as we get ready to go to Malta this week.

Free Churches

· Please pray that in the congregation’s vacancy, the Lord would graciously strengthen the congregation in unity, perseverance, and spiritual growth.

​

Gilmerton Plant

· Please pray that, as a growing church plant, we would be deeply rooted in the gospel and that we would proclaim it in a way that connects well with our friends and neighbours.
