Looking for some pointers for prayer?  A few weeks ago we were challenged to pray for more people to be added to our Church. These down-to-earth prayers help us do just that.  As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

Dear Lord,
As we continue to plan and organise outreach events and activities, we pray that you will draw people to come to know you and to become part of our Church family, here in Tulse Hill. We pray for all the planning and preparation please make these successful times.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

We pray too for the day to day activities of the Church which draw people to you. We pray for the work of our youth church, Trinity Kids and the creche. Please speak clearly to our children and young people, help them to build their lives on you as they understand just how much you love them.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

We pray for the social club. Thank you for the friendships formed, and for people being brought closer to you through Monday lunch times. Please draw new people to yourself through the club.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

We want to pray for all the parents, grandparents and carers who bring young children to play at Trinity Tots on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please draw each adult and child closer to you. Please add people from these groups to your Church.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

We pray for all the clients that Vanessa sees on her CAP visits. Please be with them as they struggle to make changes in their lives. May they come to understand your love for them, come to put their trust in you and become part of your Church.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

We pray for the parents, children and staff in St Martin’s and Holy Trinity schools. Please help the young people to reach their potential and to grow in their knowledge of you.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

We pray for the sessions of Parish Office.  Please Lord, help the clergy to build relations with people coming in on a Saturday morning, and that they might come to know you.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

Thank you Lord, for the evidence we can see of you building your church – for those coming to faith through baptism, Alpha, and Confirmation.  Help them to tell others about you.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.

Thank you, Lord, for calling us to be part of your Church. Thank you that you know us and love us as individuals. Please help us to allow you to use our gifts to share your love with those around us.
As you promised, Lord, Build your Church.  Amen.
