Prayer notes from Friday 2 May 2025

​

Pray for the Sunday services. The service in KILWINNING is to be taken by R Christie. The Lord’s Supper will be

celebrated at this service. The two services in AYR are to be taken by M Topple.

 

· The recent Presbytery Meeting which both elders (Norman S and Norman M) attended was worthwhile. Many encouraging ideas and reports were shared, discussed and prayed over.

It was also acknowledged that Ayr & Kilwinning are in a position to sustain full time ministry.

Whilst we have permission to call (valid until March 26) we should in a positive way proceed to seek

a settlement before then. Keep praying for this to happen.

 

· Remember in prayer the young people in Kilwinning and particularly the work of the Sunday school and

their usual teacher Marie M. It is so good to have these young people.

 

· Marie O thanks people for their prayers. She is now working from home and hopes that she might manage out to church, on her crutches, this coming Sunday. (A special chair awaits her if she makes it.) Keep praying

for her ongoing recovery.

 

· We are very appreciative of the ministry of Neil Chambers. Please continue to pray for Neil and Jayne.

We look forward to Neil taking the prayer meeting on Thursday and the morning service in Ayr

the following Sunday.

 

· The Ayr Finance Committee are due to meet on Thursday to deal with one main item and some smaller matters.

Please pray about this meeting.

 

· Our church folks live in a large number of places. North Ayrshire – Ardrossan, Dreghorn, Stevenson, Saltcoats and Kilwinning. East Ayrshire – Kilmarnock. South Ayrshire – Coylton, Doonfoot, Troon, Dundonald and Ayr.

Please pray that we might be a positive influence in the places in which we live.

 

· General Assembly Please pray for the commissioners as they prepare for the General Assembly later this month.

Pray that God would grant them wisdom as they make decisions for the church in the upcoming year.

 

· Prison Fellowship Scotland Pray for prison officers up and down the land who are finding the job more and more difficult and dangerous. Pray for understanding and strength to keep going, and above all else, safety at their work.

 

Sashko, Poland

· Pray For Our Ukrainian Ministry: Continue to pray for the Ukrainian teens and families in our congregation,

especially those led by Y and O Boiko. Pray for healing from the trauma of war, for spiritual growth among

the youth, and for wisdom as we minister to their needs.

 

· Pray For Our Publishing Ministry (MW Books): Pray for all those involved in our Reformed publishing work.

Ask that God would use the translated materials to combat theological famine in Poland and Ukraine,

and that these resources would strengthen the Church throughout Eastern Europe.

 

Free Churches

Cornerstone

· Give thanks for Neil and Louise MacMillan who have served faithfully in Cornerstone over the past 10 years.

Give thanks for their ministry and for all they have contributed to the life of the church.

Please pray as Neil steps into his new role as director of City to City Europe that the Lord would continue

to use him as he seeks to serve the church.

 

· Please pray for the Spanish Speaking congregation, that the Lord would continue to grow each individual

in knowledge and love for Him. Please also pray for the Gilmerton Church Plant, that God would work

in the hearts those reached in the community, that many would be saved in Gilmerton.

 

Cumbernauld

· Please pray for the youth club which meets every Friday for crafts, games and bible discussion.

Please pray that our young people would grow in friendship with one another, and that they would know Jesus

as their personal Lord and Saviour.

 

· Pray that the Lord would continue to strengthen the congregation, and that He would provide opportunities for outreach into the community.
