Prayers

Pray for our young people as they return to full time school this week. Some will be keen to be back, some will be worried about being up to date with schoolwork, some will worry about renewing friendships. They will also have to do twice weekly covid test and wear masks all day. Let's uphold them in prayer as they transition back.

Pray for making and keeping connections with our littlest of children and their families and our Climbers team as they lead a live online event with our 3+4-year-olds.
