PRAYING FOR 5 PEOPLE IS AT THE HEART OF THY KINGDOM COME
Who could you be praying for this Ascension to Pentecost to know the love of Christ for themselves? There are so many creative ways to do this!
On June 1st, we’ll take a few moments, in worship, to write down the names of 5 people we want to pray for between Ascension and Pentecost. Each Sunday we will pray for these people, individually. But you are also invited to pray for them during the week!
Creative ways to remember to pray:
1) Write down the names of the 5 people you are praying for in your phone, or place a note somewhere in your home (like the bathroom mirror) or on a little card and set reminders to pray for them throughout the day.
2) Use a band and tie 5 knots, each one representing your 5 or maybe each time you drink a cup of tea, coffee or glass of water, you could remember to pray for them.
3) Or perhaps you could turn your everyday journeys into moments of prayer - be it walking, driving or cycling and hold one person each day in prayer, then collectively praying for them at particular points. Or you could try the 555 prayer challenge - praying blessings over your 5 people daily at 5pm. There are so many wonderful ways to pray! Let’s get started this Sunday!
