Call to Prayer

The week of the bi-annual Prayer for Youth meetings always tends to be busy, as I run a prayer meeting in each of the four parishes for four nights of the week. That means full days and out of every evening, with the Friday Night group on the fifth. But is thas been a good week for prayer as God calls us to a new place. Great to see half the meeting on Monday in Ratagan made up of praying school age people, many of whom also come to the 60 Second Club. The main themes this week were prayer for the proposed Bible Reading Club, the Discispleship program and then for young people as God laid them on our hearts, as we considered the access we have to the throne of God. This was partnered on Wednesday night by an open prayer meeting for all the churches to cry out to God. As it turned out, this was dominated by confession of where we have taken our own churches at the expense of the one true Church. A significant time for us in Skye & Lochalsh which we plan to build on in coming weeks.
Another P7 visit in Broadford and an assembly in Elgol looked like a quiet week on paper. But at this time of year as we prepare for the Holiday Club season, there is a lot of work to be done in front of the computer and designing things for use at the clubs, as well as planning the programs. We seem to be slightly ahead of ourselves this year, though there is a lot left to do.
