Sunday 8th September was designated as 'Back to School with God' Sunday. We invited the young people to wear some part of their school uniforms - most came wearing either a jumper or school blazer - and, at the beginning of the service, we invited to them to come forward and we prayed for each child and the schools they represented.
Members of the congregation were also invited to complete a 'pray for schools' card which was then placed on the prayer board.

Here are some of our youngsters wearing a part of their uniform and holding a sign indicating the school, nursery or parent n' toddlers club that they attend.
It was also encouraging to received prayer requests from some of the teachers to be read out during the service.
