City Pastors Prayer Breakfast Report - Wednesday 16 May

Present: Carol Bailey, Claudio Coquet, Keith Howarth, Gill Jessop, Andy Lanning, Paul Larcombe, Chris Moreton, Lars Pettersen, John Price, Graham Timson, Sharon Walker, David Weeks, David Whitlock, Pauline Wills, Bill Croft.

Bill Croft was welcomed and Gill Jessop was welcomed back from her sabbatical.

Paul led the prayer with Acts 17:22b-31 - Paul in Athens, using the 'Russ Parkes' Bible-reading style (read a verse(s) and comment as you go):

• v22b: 'Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious...'
• v23b: 'Now what you worship as something unknown, I am going to proclaim to you.'
• v24: 'The God who made the world...does not live in temples built by hands.'
• v30: 'In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.'
• v31: 'For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.'

This opened open prayer for the city of Peterborough with themes of proclamation, religious buildings, repentance, justice and resurrection.

Prayers were also said using the latest Peterborough Hope 2008 prayer list and, in particular, for the visit of Laurence Singlehurst on Thursday 17 May.

Reminder from Andy Lanning about Prayer for Peterborough Prison:

Our first PPP (Prayer for Peterborough Prison) meeting on Tuesday 29th May at The Grace Centre in Midland Rd, Peterborough. The meeting will be from 7.30 - 8.30 pm and will be structured so that people can come into the main hall area, where the various prayer need and thanksgiving posters will be displayed, walk around, pray and then leave freely. Also, there will be tables and chairs for those who like to pray sitting down.

I would be grateful if you could display the poster and encourage people to attend, even if just for ten minutes.

Every blessing,

Andy

Future meeting dates:

Wednesday 14 November
Wednesday 28 November
Wednesday 12 December

These are all at the Peterborough Salvation Army in Bourges Boulevard, New England.
