Mark - Diaconate 

Thank you for being willing to pray for the diaconate. The diaconate consists of Trevor Neill (Ministry Team Leader), Katie Canning (Youth Worker), Hilary West (Children and Families Worker), Andy Crossley (Church Secretary), John Harrison (Treasurer), Dawn Cox, Katherine Kane, Hilary Howard, Mark Ridgway, Norman Robinson, and Adam White.
We meet approximately twice a month to discuss church business, future plans and vision for the church, and to pray for the needs of the church.

Please could you pray for the following:

• Give thanks that there is a pleasant atmosphere during our meetings, that we as team get on well with each other, and that our time together is productive.
• That each one of us has the necessary strength and capacity to serve the team and the wider church well.
• That we may continue to be sensitive to how God is moving in our church, and seek to respond to this in the right ways.

When praying for this team please consider the verses

 Peter 4: 10-11:
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as
faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they
should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they
should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be
praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and
ever. Amen.

We are very grateful for your prayers!
