As you pray, please give thanks for the great number of volunteers willing to give their time and energy to helping with “MISSION RESCUE” this Easter.
Here’s some fuel to fire your prayers...please pray that God’s fame would be on show as you pray for:

• Preparation both prior to and during the week
• Team unity and a common goal to see children and their families come to know Jesus
• Invitations would reach many and would be positively received and responded to
• Children attending would have great fun, learn lots, listen well and experience and respond to   God’s love throughout the week
• All aspects of the schedule would work effectively and safely, with every role carried out energetically & enthusiastically
• “MISSION RESCUE” would lead to children and families becoming part of God’s family in First Antrim and that we would be able to nurture them to maturity in Christ.

If you are available between 6:30-7:30pm on Tuesday 16th, Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th April, or 9:30-10:30am on Saturday 20th, please come to the Toddler’s/Stage room in the Church halls to pray for “MISSION RESCUE”.

​CHRISTIAN AID More than 2 million people have been affected by Cyclone Idai in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. An estimated 80,000 people have been displaced and at least 480 confirmed dead, with the death toll rising fast. Due to the nature and scale of the disaster we have set up a special appeal. Christian Aid is already on the ground in Malawi and Zimbabwe. Homes, schools and health facilities have been
demolished, roads have been blocked, and water and sanitation infrastructures have been destroyed, heightening the risk of water-borne diseases. As I write, heavy rains and floods continue to devastate agricultural activities, impacting livelihoods in the long term. If you would like to help Christian Aid in their work in this disaster, please put your donation in a Christian Aid envelope and mark it “Africa Appeal”.
