Wednesday: Our local community, Bracknell town, schools, health & wealth
9 Oct, 2024
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. What are the local council services near you? Take a moment today to think back to the times you have accessed them , the schools, the hospitals, the tip, the library etc
R: Rejoice. Thank God for the moments when they have been a blessing to you- thank God for the staff teams- can you name any?
A: Ask. Right now local government departments are waiting for more cuts, lets pray for the decision makers that they will make wise choices, that money will be released to support the most vunerable. That as a church community we would be engaged in our local community, acknowledging the needs around us and stepping in to be a blessing.
Y: Yield. Where there is injustice in our local systems lets choose today not to grumble but to bring light and hope and support sustainable solutions. What is God giving you ‘holy discontent’ about? Yield to your part in the solution!
Tuesday: Our nation, it’s politics & social justice
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. Take a moment to quietly consider what’s going on currently in the nation (for instance, increased energy costs), how it affects you personally, as well as others that you may or may not know. Think about the emotions stirred in you because of this and bring it all to Jesus’ feet.
R: Rejoice. Thank God for our leaders and the systems that have been put in place for our common good.
A: Ask. Pray for wisdom for our leaders and each of us, to make a stand for what is right and to act justly towards everyone within our spheres of influence.
Y: Yield. Trust the Father to hear us as we pray.
Monday: Our world, international matters, politics & conflict
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. What’s on the news across the continents either this morning or currently? What catches your eye that God is asking you to pray around today?
R: Rejoice. Thank God for His love for the world, and his mercies that are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23).
A: Ask. Pray into world events that need God’s breakthrough. It may help to pray the 3 Ps – for the people, the peacemakers and the pastors in that area.
Y: Yield. Allow Jesus to release you from any anxiety as you intercede today. Calling out to God but being assured that he is ultimately sovereign over all of His earth.
Another Week of Prayer and Fasting kicks off on Monday 7th October
We have another opportunity to collectively focus our attention on God, and wait on Him to speak.
Ethical shopping..a perfect Saturday afternoon!

You will also be supporting the planet by creating an Autumn wardrobe from nearly new clothing! Come along to our Forever Fashion Event.
We’re here now!
Following a history of having gone to two meetings a few times, including planting out other churches and seeing the start of our other Kerith sites over the years — such as Reading Family Church, Kerith Sandhurst (which is now our Kerith Farnborough site), Kerith Windsor, Kerith Isle of Wight (which has recently moved from the west of the island to Newport) and Flow Church — it’s now another beautiful watershed moment in the life of Kerith Bracknell as we returned to two meetings again on our site this past Sunday, 8th September.

Where can I volunteer on a Sunday?
At the start of this year, we felt called to CREATE SPACE FOR HEALTHY GROWTH by adding two morning meetings. With nearly 800 attendees on Easter alone, it's clear we need to expand across adult, youth, and children’s spaces— and yes, even in the car park!
