For Prayer

We still have an urgent need for a new Church Secretary, as well as others to join the Leadership Team. If you feel led to serve in this way or would just like to know more, please speak with Nick or one of the current Deacons for more information.

Please pray for all of the hospitality events planned over the Easter period, that they may be an opportunity to invite others to join with us in a less threatening environment.

Please hold the Easter events in prayer, that we would see the spirit moving in our Town and in Desborough Baptist Church as we celebrate our risen saviour.

Pray for our outreach to the community through Warm Welcome Space, Trailblazers and Building Blocks. We need more helpers and leaders for these groups as they continue to grow. Is this something you could volunteer to help with?

Sunday Morning Worship on 19^th April is a Bring and Share Service led by Phillip and Laura Staves. The theme is “Easter – Resurrection and New Beginnings” and they would like people to suggest a song, hymn, reading or testimony that would tie in with the theme. So over to you! What does Easter mean to you? Has God been speaking to you and is there something you could share? If you’d like to take part, please mention it to Phillip or Laura by Sunday 12^th.
