Pray for Chat ‘n’ Chew. On the Thursday we continue to reflect the love of Jesus to others in friendship; to those that drop in for a while and to those that stay for the morning.
Sadly we felt the loss of a man who was with us one Thursday; as the following Friday we attended his funeral service. Do pray for this man’s family and friends as they grieve his loss; that they would experience and know the love of God.
Give thanks to God for a year of friendships and opportunities.
Please pray that we will be guided by God to show and share the light of Jesus to others who are hurting, lonely, sick and sad.
Pray that each week we would be that light in the town, as we walk up the street to invite others or chat to those we meet.
Once a month we do a Chat ‘n’ Chew Special. This Thursday, 17 November, it will be on Photos of ‘Old’ Antrim. Please pray for this event.
