Go Group

Please pray for:

• Our two year programme.
   
• That the church family will understand our ethos, that we want people to invite friends, family members and colleagues to it who are unsure of the Christian faith or who still need questions answered before putting their faith in Jesus.
   
• Pray that people will accept our personal invitations and come to our events.

Friday Club

No doubt one of the most fascinating things about the group is that it is made up exclusively of young people whose families don't come to our church.

Give thanks to God for these lovely children and for bringing them back week after week. Ask that He will bring new life to all who come along to our Friday Club.

As we look to next year we may run another mid week Bible study group for a short period.

Monday Club

Prayer

• Give thanks that we are able to spend time getting to know these young people (7 boys and 1 girl). However, we would like more people, as we feel it's a work of outreach. We could do with additional leaders.
   
• We would like to promote the group particularly at Garlinge School. One of the Mums works there and is happy to take in flyers for us. I hope to contact the Head to see if we can do something official, but need the comfort of additional help in case we get 50 turning up one night!!!
   
• We have 2 brothers that come along, one of whome is autistic. His parents say that Monday Club is the only group he has been able to settle in, and that he cannot wait for each Monday to be able to come along. They are currently trying to get him into Laleham House School. Please pray for the boys, and their parents.
   
• Ella Floyd has just done her first epilogue. We are thankful that some of our own young people are now playing an active part in the life of the Church.
   
• We currently have nothing to offer young people over the age of 12 in the area. The older club ha dto close due to lack of leaders. We are thankful for the work that went on, and for the monthly Open Door, and would value prayers for the way ahead.`
   
• We are conscious that we spent a large amount of money via the Servant Church Trust on a sound system, microphones and keyboard. It would be great to involve this, and the young people more in Church Servces, maybe for a "singing group" in a family service.

Servant Church Trust / Garlinge Staff Member Project

The trust was set up in 2003 in order to handle the finances of major projects in the life of
St. James' Church of which the main outreach is the Garlinge Staff Member project.

Through the generous giving of a small number of St. James' members it was possible in 2008 to appoint the Reverent Jean-Pierre Schroeder as our Garlinge Evangelist and Assistant Minister.

Now that JP and his family will be moving to Perth, Western Australia, to be part of the chaplaincy team of St. Mark's Community School please pray for the future challenges ahead for this project. The PCC are not in a position to appoint an immediate replacement for JP until the appointment of our next Vicar. Pray that if it is God's will to continue the work, there will be sufficient funds and support to continue this vital outreach to Garlinge.
