The issues listed on this page are just a handful amongst a great many situations where God's grace is sorely needed; we hope to give you enough background information here to allow you to pray through these problems with knowledge as well as compassion.
If you would like to add an item of local or national concern to this prayer list, please send it in text format via email, specifying "Prayer Points" in the subject line, and I'll add it as soon as I can. Sorry, but we can't take anything in other formats. If you have a relevant photograph to accompany the text, we can handle that - JPEG format, please.
(7 July 2007 - I've removed all previous items from this page, and from now on I'll only put up prayer points that other people ask me to add. The point is that, if something is important enough to motivate you to send me an email about it, we're probably not the only ones who think it's important!)
The proposed temple in Northampton East|
Added at the request of Sue Thom Northampton's Hindu community have been given a 125-year lease on a four-acre site in Lings Wood, on the eastern edge of Lumbertubs. They plan to build a £12 million temple on the site. The Council has also given the Indian Hindi Welfare Association (IHWA) a grant of £58,000 to help fund their planning application. The IHWA will be holding a special ceremony on the site on 19 October, in an attempt to raise £100,000 towards the cost of the building. In Sue Thom's words: Pray as the Lord leads.
