BMS ask us to pray for Albania Following years of
political polarisation that slowed reforms, Albania has at
last joined its Balkan peers on the road to European Union
membership. Candidate status was finally granted last
June, although it will be years before full membership can
be achieved. Much ground will need to be covered first,
particularly
in the fight against crime and corruption, in what
remains one of Europe’s poorest countries.
For Connect Groups
Spend some time in prayer asking God to take control of
your time together and that he opens your eyes so you can
see things from a spiritual point of view.

We praise the Lord for the recent significant growth
in both the official membership of the church and in
the number of people attending services. This has led
us to carry out a 'gifting survey' at this time, to try and
ensure that each person can fulfil the role for which
God has equipped them within church life. Please
pray that this process will prove to be helpful and
beneficial in the work of God's Kingdom, so that our
worship and witness will be more effective.
Other prayer requests:1) Please pray for the salvation of the many who
come regularly to the Coffee Shop and monthly
community meal.
2) Please pray for our pastor Mark Taylor, who
continues to face ongoing health issues, and his
family.
3) Please pray about the difficult and costly decisions
which will have to be made at some stage concerning
our church building.

How aware are we of the spiritual world as depicted
in Ephesian 6:12
Which are the areas that Satan has tried to influence
in our society?
According to 2Corithians 10:4. How can Satan’s
attacks be destroyed?
How important is for us as we are engaged in
spiritual battle to listen to V.17 and V.23 of Luke
chapter 11?
What is Jesus saying in 11:28 as he wraps up the
text?
Have Fun!

Opportunity to invest in God's Kingdom
"Val Dodsworth, who has experience in running a
Christian home, and Roger Wells, who with Val has long
experience in prison ministry, are linking with the
Christian organisation Hope into Action to purchase a
house for the use of homeless and ex-offenders in
Dereham. They have formed a team of eight men and
women from across the Dereham churches who will
provide ongoing pastoral and practical support, and
hopefully also opportunity for their employment.
Christian investors are now sought to provide capital
sums to help finance the purchase (with a return of 2%
plus capital growth). For more details ask.Roger Wells
for the document "Invitation to invest in God's
Kingdom..........."
