This month is a peculiar time for Lee Abbey - the summer holidays are ending, and the "transit" residents will be leaving as students start arriving who will be staying for 1, 2, or 3 terms (similar to the quarter system). As our community gears up for the beginning of term on Sept 23, we have decided to get together every Monday night this month to pray especially for outreach this Autumn term. I'd like to pass along the events we are bringing to our Great Provider so that if you feel so led, you can join us in petition:
1. The Alpha Course for students (once a week for the term)
2. Worship Night (Nov 2 - last term many residents attended this event put on by community members and heard about Christ)
3. Taize Prayer Service (a French style of worship that involves meditation on passages of scripture, singing simple songs, periods of silence, etc.)
4. Social Outings (great opportunity to build relationships with residents)
5. Opportunities for relationship-building (at the Coffee Bar, meal times, lounge area, in our areas of work).
Thank you for joining us in presenting our requests to God with Thanksgiving - we are so privileged to be tools in the hand of a Mighty God!
