A Prayer you may like to use as you prepare for worship
Heavenly Father, we thank you for all those who use their musical talents to enhance our worship. Bless all their
efforts, that they may bring us together in an expression of our love for you in song. Thanks you for the variety
of music and help us to appreciate even those kinds which we do not instantly take to. Give inspiration and
dedication, conscientiousness in preparation and the love you have of sharing gifts with others. Amen
Please remember in your prayers

Many cities in the world are taking part in a prayer campaign called 40 Days For Life.
In Manchester there are prayer groups, compassionate outreach and a ‘6 days a week’ vigil. Our concern is to save the
lives of unwanted babies through witness, prayer and practical help.
In Altrincham Methodist Prayer Chapel we are there each Monday between 12.00noon and 2.00pm interceding for babies,
parents and all involved at every level. Please come along and strengthen our prayers.
You can join the Manchester Vigil by contacting 40Days@mcr4life.co.uk or 07909 920739/07810 791032
