DIY prayer tool for community use during pandemic

We have composed a prayer tool together - you can download it, print it, pin it, pray it by visiting the News page at the button below

During one of our Worship gatherings we discerned a need for a prayer tool which could help us coorporately pray as a community.

This DIY prayer page includes who we want to pray for, and what we are asking of God while we uplift them.

One or more of the suggested dotpoints could be the focus for daily prayer, offering a prompt to keep our prayers broad and focused on those who may need the Bread of Life the most at the moment.
