MESSages to God

MESSages to God
Jane Leadbetter came up with the idea and Cerys Hughes in Lichfield came up with the name. Jane has started using it at her Messy Church: simple prayer requests that are written down during cake time and posted by all ages into a box. Jane then types them up and emails them out to the list of contacts she has from team and Messy congregation. The names here have been reduced to initials for the sake of privacy. They really echo Paul’s advice in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV):
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
Thank you for these prayers at Messy Advent. Remember to pray them when you are ironing, walking the dog, watching TV, out loud, whispering or anywhere anyhow! God is so amazing he can hear us wherever we are!
