PRAYER BUDDIES
We now have a new prayer buddy and we will be praying for Scorton Church over the next few months. They describe themselves as a small, friendly church who are slowly getting back to normal, but with several people still unable to return. Their regular church attendance is in the mid teens and nearly all elderly. They have recently restarted their Wednesday Coffee Morning and are getting quite a number of people from the village.
They have yet to restart their monthly lunch club
and women’s fellowship.
Please remember them in your prayers–
praying for guidance as they form a new
‘cluster’ with Calder Vale and Garstang.
Perhaps you would like to write a prayer for them, if so please forward it to me and I will share it with them.
Silverdale Church is now praying for Torrisholme;
I have asked them, on behalf of our church, to pray for our minister and stewards, the new ministerial team and for guidance for the way forward as we try to reconnect with the local community and those who have yet to return.
