We thought about having a prayer box that we could put intercessions in which would be held up to God as part of the prayer but not read out. For those who can't make the next service but would like such a prayer to be included they can contact us. I'll sort an email via the Priory Church website and post it to this blog shortly.<br /><br />We also thought it would be good to pray for our various areas of work and living that we're involved in in the area. What came through strongly was our need to be open to the Holy Spirit through out not only the time of prayer but also the service as a whole, whilst ensuring at the same time that the structure of the service remains coherent and easy for everyone to know where we're at. <br /><br />We also talked about how we're very much keen for the mums and dads who take the little ones through to Tina and Duncan, that once the children are comfortable and settled that the mums and dads come back into the main hall so as not to miss the address and prayer time. We also wanted to reassure any parents worried about the gurgles and squeaks, especially the little ones might make, not to worry about it.<br /><br />The readings for April will be posted shortly.<br /><br />Time for breakfast!<br /><br />Will<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/650897060132240712-3038632277708085840?l=priorysecondsunday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Willnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650897060132240712.post-38221805452578688042008-03-10T19:12:00.007Z2008-03-12T06:58:17.350ZThe the order of service for 8th March can be downloaded <a href="http://idisk.mac.com/willhoward/Public/8th March 2008.ppt">here</a>.<br /><br />The notices for 8th March can be downloaded <a href="http://idisk.mac.com/willhoward/Public/8th March 2008 notices.ppt">here</a>.<br /><br />Both require <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=048dc840-14e1-467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485&displaylang=en">the Powerpoint viewer (Windows)</a>.
