MODERATOR OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Pray for:
The Moderator as he attends the following:
Wednesday 25 - Friday 27 May Church of Scotland Assembly, Edinburgh
BOARD OF MISSION IN IRELAND
HOME & IRISH MISSION
Sligo and Boyle – Revd Alan Mitchell
Pray for:
Pray for the West of Ireland; that God may lay the spiritual needs of Sligo and places like Bundoran and nearby Belleek on the hearts of suitably gifted people; the opportunities are all around us and people are more open to talk about spiritual things than we imagine. So many want help and guidance that’s not available to them in the church of their birth. Sadly we don’t have the workers to talk to them.
If you are in the West of Ireland during the coming months please do call and see us; you will be made very welcome. Telephone: 00353 719162337 Alan Mitchell www.sligopresbyterianchurch.ie
