April One Church One Day, 24 Hours of Prayer
‘Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.’ Col 3:14
Good Friday Morning
Would you like to spend an hour with the Lord, united with brothers and sisters in prayer over a full 24 hours? You can! Our monthly rhythm of prayer takes place from 7pm Friday 5th to 7pm Saturday 6th April. Our theme is from Colossians 3:14 ‘Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.’ In April our Mission Focus is Circuit Riders, and we can look forward to hearing an update for Iona (Iggy) and receiving prayer requests. If you would like to, please feel free to sign the OCOD board at the door of the parish church building or click on the link https://signup.24-7prayer.
May the love and joy of the Lord surround us, fill us and flow through us this Easter.
With love and prayers

Praying for the Persecuted Church
Each month Christians from local churches gather to pray for the persecuted church. These meetings take place at 9:30am the 3rd Tuesday of each month. The next meeting will take place on 18th August and is likely to be via Zoom. If you would like to attend this prayer meeting please call Mary Massey on 0117 9572447
Prayer Resources
At Christ Church we have really benefited from resources coming from the 24-7 prayer movement. At the beginning of 2020 we did a sermon series as a church on prayer, looking at various aspects and types of prayer, using Pete Grieg’s book “How to Pray.” You can find those sermons here or by searching for the “Learning to Live the Life” podcast on various podcast platforms.
You can also find some incredible resources for prayer, whether you are brand new to it or been praying for years, on the prayer course website here.
