Devotionals and Studies for House Churches
‘Keller is a very trustworthy applied theologian and pastor. His insight into scripture and its relevance to us today is on a par with NT Wright. A prolific writer and very good church leader, he has written this practical and challenging daily devotional for everyone to use with a focus what we can know about God’s ways. We are using it every day as staff in the office and thoroughly recommend it for House Church use and individual daily devotions. We currently have two copies in the church library able to be taken out.’ Rev. Ian Cook

Pray for 5 – Who Are You Praying For?
From April 6th till May 27th, we will have a focus on praying for 5 people to come to know Jesus. Choose 5 strands from the table in the gathering area and weave them together into a wrist band to remind you to pray.
Another great tool is the “Inner Room” that you can load on your phone – follow this link – to find out more and download the app.
The Inner Room is a free prayer list app that turns your mobile phone into a place of prayer. You can add reminders and a list of people to pray for throughout the day
We see this as a potential missional opportunity for our House Churches to pick up. If you feel led to please click here to download Holy Here
