19 Prayers in Lockdown

Through the Coffee Shop Sunday Facebook Group, we produced this booklet containing the symbolically significant number of 19 prayers, each with a one-word theme – chosen by the collaborators. We did the writing and printing in less than a month.

The collaborators are a mixture of the experienced and the novice in the art of writing prayers. Co-authors have come from many parts of the UK and two from the United States and most of us have never met physically. We got to know each other ‘virtually’ during lockdown through the Coffee Shop Sunday online presence in prayer sessions and an active Facebook Group. All who wrote part of the prayers are listed in the booklet - thanks to you all!

Coffee Shop Sunday #8

The numbers at the 15th March gathering were understandably down due to the Coronavirus, but it was a joyful fellowship. We were blessed that 29 people came along.

As usual, there was a 5-minute ‘getting to know you’ chat. Thinking about Lent, the question this week was “what would you find difficult to give up?”

We had, as our theme, Jesus as Teacher and the interview with Andy Pinks gave us insight about what it's like being a teacher in 2020, as well as hearing about Andy's role as Senior Circuit Steward and something of his faith journey.

Our very special prayer time - led by Bill focused largely on the Coronavirus.

Songs:

Bless the Lord O my Soul (10,000 Reasons) by Jonas Myrin & Matt Redman

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God by Karen Lafferty
Meekness and Majesty by Graham Kendrick
Jesus put this song into our hearts by Graham Kendrick

Due to the Coronavirus, meetings have been cancelled until further notice
