Change and Upheaval

When I think of highlights I could cite our Howth Head walk about in February, our church day away in Bray with fine weather, our wonderful Bring & Share lunches...but most of all I’m drawn to what’s gone on consistently behind the scenes. Namely the privilege of bringing the gospel of Jesus to bear on peoples brokenness. We have journeyed with many through deep hurt and struggle.

Time and again we find ourselves reiterating the depth and wonder of grace and have been glad of a gracious and compassionate God to share in Immanuel.

Pray for mature Christians to come alongside to support and develop our ministry in Immanuel. Our church planting efforts have been key to our ministry but have, of course, required sending out significant human resources. That coupled with a highly transitional setting in the city centre has meant more responsibilities falling to fewer people. Pray for growth which will enable further growth!

Pray for our church weekend away, scheduled for 24th-26th February. This will be our first since 2020! Dr Andrew Collins is due to join us as we consider the theme of ‘Being Church’.

This is a significant time for us having come through so much change and upheaval. Pray for a joyful time which will serve to deepen relationships one with another, encourage us in the gospel and sharpen our core convictions as a church.
