Junior worship and learning activities

During the pandemic our junior church activities were not able to meet as we would have done in the past. We are gradually increasing what we can offer our children and young people but that does not mean you miss out on the various activities. Visit www.rootsontheweb.com/ where you can view and download new activities every week.

Every month we hold PFZ (Parent Free Zone) Youth Group on the second Sunday of the month between 5.00pm and 7.00pm. All are welcome - contact us for more details.

Messy Church can also take place at home too - with loads of activities available at www.messychurch.org.uk/covid-19

Our Prayers this month

Every week pray for our Church Officers, Elders, all who lead worship, those who provide and show the PowerPoint and work the camera and microphones, those who provide music during times of worship, those who prepare the flowers and those who provide welcome and hospitality.

7th – 13th April

To ponder: Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4: 2-3)

8^th Messy Church – pray for the children, their families and carers, and our volunteers.
9^th Church Meeting – pray for wisdom in all discussions.
Give thanks for all who serve others, pray that they will be strengthened and encouraged in the work they do.
Pray for all people whose lives are torn apart by war and violence – in Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, Haiti.

14th – 20th April

To ponder: Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. (Psalm 4: 1)

16^th Bible Study – pray for those meeting as a new group at the church.
Give thanks for your family and friends, all who love and care for you now and those who have loved and cared for you in the past.

To ponder: ‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. (Romans 12: 12-13)

Give thanks for our place in God’s family, as churches and as Christians Together in Fareham – for those whose lives, words and deeds led us to Christ and those who continue to develop and strengthen our faith today.
Pray for safe routes and a welcoming environment for all asylum seekers and refugees recognising that Jesus was once a refugee fleeing from danger. Help us to recognise Jesus in strangers and help us to work towards a society that is truly welcoming.

28th April – 4th May

To ponder: My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. (John 17: 20-21)

4^th May – pray for all those participating in the URC Wessex Synod Big Day Out at Hollycombe.
Give thanks for signs of new life in our world – for blossom and buds, for the birth of children, for fresh starts after times of trial – thank you, Lord for breathing life into our world.
Pray for all those who mourn the passing of loved ones and feel empty, lost and in pain. Pray for all those waiting for treatment and the relief of suffering – that God’s love provides peace to all who are anxious and face uncertainty.

Daily prayer: Lord, help me to draw closer to you and learn from you today, thank you that you want me to walk more closely with you because you love me.Lord, help me to trust you, listen to you seeing you in all situations, in all difficulties, in all special sights, help me to look for you... open my eyes, ears and heart. Amen.
