April Prayers for KCW
Vision for the Gathering
That God would give us wisdom and clarity of thought as we consider what our “gathering” will look like over the remainder of 2021 as lockdown eases; energy for those serving; new people to support; and what our weekly Sunday meetings and monthly mid week meeting should look like
Pray for godly wisdom as we consider new songs to introduce: good theologically sound songs that are enjoyable, singable, and edifying to the King’s family
Praise God for the growth he has given us. We are running out of space in Bell Farm school. Please pray for stewards as they juggle how to use the space well
Elders are considering whether it is time to look at new venues. Please pray for wisdom as we look at options, for God to provide what we need (possibly a new venue), and for us to trust Him - he has always provided
AV / Streaming
Give thanks for providing volunteers for 2 new folks settling into the streaming ministry
Give thanks for God carrying us through and keeping us all in good health and helping us to sort out many of the technical difficulties
Give thanks for the privilege that we could meet during lockdown and the provision of technology and for Wisdom as we consider how to continue to improve on our AV ministry. Especially as we consider how we fit more people into the hall
For willing hands and opportunities to train a broader team
Music
Pray that musicians would keep looking to the Lord as we ‘play’ to the congregation who can’t sing along
That we would be humble and keep asking the Lord to help us engage with those at church
That we would keep praying and preparing for the day we can all sing again together and keep prayerfully exploring how we can move towards this safely
Pray to for those considering what songs we sing and how we introduce new songs that build each other up in the word, bring glory to God and help us sing of his praises and wonders to Him and one another
Set Up / Stewarding / Health & Safety
Pray that we may give up the hour and half before and hour after the service with a willing heart
Pray we would use the opportunity to speak to people both old and new to King’s Church
Pray we would be a witness to Bell Farm by leaving the school in an impeccable condition after church
Identity Series
Pray for God to equip us through these talks to understand biblically the identity confusion in our world, how to engage with it and how to point one another to Christ in it
John 13-17
Pray for God to equip us through our time in John 13-17. To grow in our understanding of the role of the Spirit, the foundation of the apostles teaching and our ongoing part in the Kingdom. Pray we will be strengthened and built up in our faith
Women’s Groups
Pray that as we reflect with gratitude on what we’ve learned in our Hebrews studies we will offer our lives in acceptable worship to God
King’s Kids & Youth
The New City Catechism - Pray our children would be grounded on the truth about who God is and who we are in relation to him
Youth - Pray our young people would build deep, lifelong friendships that encourage them to live for Christ
Youth Mentoring - Pray for the mentors and our youth that God would use these relationships to ensure all our young people are godly, lifelong disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ
Kids - As Sunday School restarts - pray they’d be enthusiasm and excitement as the children get to spend time with each other again, after so long apart. Pray they’d delight in learning from God’s word in their groups
All of Us
As lockdown eases pray we’d be effective at re-establishing our church family connections
