We’re pleased to announce something “new for 2009“!

As you know, we enjoy the privilege of gathering together twice per month on Sunday evenings to prayer for our church, and our gospel mission in this fair city of Bristol.

As you should also know, Grace Church is part of a wider family of churches, led by CJ Mahaney (pictured right), known as Sovereign Grace Ministries.

Our “new for 2009″ is an attempt to bring these two things together. So, starting once per month from February, we going to be taking some time out during one of our prayer meetings to highlight and pray for one of our “sister” Sovereign Grace Churches.

It’s a great way for us to connect to our wider mission and partnership being part of Sovereign Grace, and its great for us to support other churches, praying for God’s grace, strength, favour and kindness upon those we will probably never meet this side of heaven.

The week before the prayer meeting, we’re going to be highlighting one church here on the blog, providing some background information about the church – where they are, bit of church history, a who’s who, etc… and then we’ll be handing out some pointers during the prayer meeting to help us pray effectively!

It’s going to be a great opportunity for us! So keep watch here as the first church is coming later this week…
