Prayer Thoughts (24-7 Prayer, Stour Valley Vineyard Church, Sudbury)During our 24-7 prayer week Andrew Stewart-Darling (Senior Pastor) is posting short prayers and reflections on his social media pages, each day starting on the morning of Sunday 21 June.

If you would like to get involved, simply follow Andrew on either Facebook, Twitter or both, then look out for updates. Take a few minutes as you go about your day to reflect and say a short prayer.

48 hours of nonstop prayer!

On the 12th – 14th June, St Gregory’s Church, Sudbury are hosting 48 hours of non stop prayer with the idea ‘that every household in the parish of St Gregory be given the opportunity to have prayer said for them’. You are invited to pop in at any time day or night to light a candle, explore the prayer stations, walk the labyrinth or just spend time reflecting quietly. There will be occasional services taking place throughout the weekend (see below for details), which all are welcome to attend. They will be held in the top part of the church and the rest of the church will remain open to visitors during these times.

Rev’d Helen Mitchell of St Gregory’s, explains the Prayer 48 promise:

“We have always prayed for the community, but we want everyone in and around our parish to know that, and to know that we are listening to what is on their hearts, so they know that God, too, is listening to them.”
“We promise that will pray for every request we receive and that there will be some-one in the church praying for Sudbury and its people every moment, day and night, for the whole 48 hours. ”

 

If you are unable able to make it along to the church for the prayer time you can always pick up a ‘prayer request postcard’ from St Gregory’s Church, simply fill it in and return it by posting it in one of the special green boxes at St Gregory’s Church, the Library, Roy’s, Waitrose, and Aldi. You can also request prayer exting 07754 869171, email , twitter or facebook

IMG_1272 (web)A big thank you to everyone that helped to bless commuters with a free cup of coffee (or tea) as they headed off to work this morning!

Despite the gloomy start it was great fun and such a blessing to be able to giveaway some liquid cheer to brighten up people’s journey to work. Commuters are always amazed by this small act of kindness. A free cup of coffee…what’s not to like?

It was a  joy and privilege to serve alongside our SVV ‘dawn patrol’
