This was just sent to our prayer points email list.
Dear Prayer Partners,
Thankyou once again for your ongoing support. Apologies that this - November's prayer points - are a little late. There has been a lot going on - keep an eye on http://will-briggs.blogspot.com for up to date information.
As you know we are going through a period of uncertainty with regards to our Sunday venue. There is much blessing in this difficulty as we seek God in the midst of it. It is a blessed time of being uncomfortable in a way that leads to growth and living lives pleasing to God and contributing to the substance of his Kingdom. Please keep praying for us - not just for the practical logistics of things but also for further and ongoing opportunities to learn about, grow in, and share the good news of Jesus.
Some points to guide your prayer:
1) Praise God for those who have joined us in the last few weeks during our interim time at the local surf club. We have five or more newcomers who have returned and blessed us with their presence and input. Please pray for them.
2) Please pray for our Christmas events - our annual "Kid's Christmas" will this year be held in a local park under a marquee. It is an opportunity to share the Christmas story and it's meaning with those who would otherwise not hear it.
3) Please pray for our Sunday gatherings during December - we are currently looking for places to meet for December 14th and 21st.
4) Please pray for those who are "stepping up" to organise outreach events and possibilities across the summer. There is the possibility of some outreach to musicians and other opportunities to connect.
5) Please pray for us as a Christian community - that we would be knit together through more than just Sunday services but in the sharing of life and mutual support generally.
6) Please pray that we would continue to be renewed in the vision of how to bring the gospel to where the people "are at" with boldness and courage.
God bless,
Will.
