St. Patrick's Day Celebrations17th March 2024

On Sunday evening 17 March every church in the diocese will light a beacon following a special service of prayer for revival.

  • As we light these symbolic fires, pray that God will fan into flame the fire of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our churches, our communities and throughout this island of Ireland.
  • Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in each of our hearts and a renewed courage to stand up and be counted for Christ.
  • Pray that God would move among us and revive his church.

Diocese of Maridi, South Sudan24th March 2024

Bishop: Rt Revd Moses Zungo

  • We give thanks for our partnership with Maridi Diocese stretching back over 20 years and pray that Bishop David’s recent trip to Maridi will help to deepen our walk with one another in the years ahead.
  • We pray for those families and communities affected by recent wildfires, that their material losses would be absorbed by brothers and sisters within Maridi and indeed beyond.
  • We ask that the fire of the gospel would continue to burn as brightly in the hearts of believers in the next century as it has since Haddow first planted the seed of the gospel in people’s hearts over 100 years ago.
  • We continue to pray for Bishop Moses and all leaders within the Diocese of Maridi, that they would know the Lord’s leading and anointing as they grow God’s kingdom through each and every ministry in the most challenging of circumstances.

Lurgan31st March 2024

Rector: Raymond Kettyle

  • Pray for discernment in our upcoming General Easter Vestry, that the right people would be elected for the different offices which would enable ministry and mission to continue in the life of the parish.
  • Pray for our new Youth Group starting after Easter, that the leaders would be suitably equipped and that the young people would encounter Jesus in a personal way.
  • We are beginning a new Sunday morning talk series called ‘Alive.’ The series is based on some of the people who met the alive Jesus and whose lives were changed as a result. Through recent outreach events and midweek ministries, we have extended invitations to those in the local community to come along and explore for themselves what difference the alive Jesus makes. Members of the congregation have also been encouraged to invite family and friends over this 6–week series. Pray that people would come and encounter the risen Jesus for themselves.
  • Pray that as we continue to seek to reach out and bless our community God would develop in us a greater heart for the lost and a deeper compassion for the hurting.
