PLEASE PRAY for Rev John Dracup. Pray that as he prepares to take on his new role as Vicar of #Meltham that he would be filled with God’s strength, wisdom and His Holy Spirit. Pray for his ministry and for his family, as they all settle into their new parish and home.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 7.1-8, 15, 21-23
Let us pray that people would not just know of God, but know God in their hearts. Feeling and trusting Him. Pray that people would not lose sight when worshipping Him, like the Pharisees, but exalt Him above all with a sincere heart.
