Weekly Prayer Focus: Worstead Baptist Church

Week 27

Worstead Baptist Church in Norfolk is in the small hamlet of Meeting Hill, on the other side of the North Walsham bypass from the actual village of Worstead. It meets in the Genesis Hall behind the chapel and serves the surrounding town of North Walsham and village of Worstead, and welcomes people from as far away as Aylsham, Bacton, Brundall, Cromer and Sheringham.

Life in a small rural church is very different from church life in a town or city, with the struggle with admin and building repairs being the most striking. Though few in number (between 20 and 25), its members feel they are there to love and support, refresh, restore and sustain one another and those whom God has sent. These include some of society’s most vulnerable, the elderly and those who feel ‘lost’ in larger churches, whose needs may be long-term or traumatic in nature.

The church feels very alive spiritually. It wants to see the Kingdom grow and to be part of it. Sunday services are café-style. It holds a mid-week Bible study when it can, and partners with Canaan Christian Centre in Sheringham, in a monthly prayer meeting. In recent weeks, it has filled its hall with special services, including a pet service, welcomed a group from Hungary, and has been joined in leading worship by Marilyn Baker and Tracy Williamson.

Please pray for

• The church to be blessed with new people: including those who have gifts of admin and policy making
• The folk with long-term health needs who see the church as being there for them
• The difference the church is making in the lives of those in its small community and beyond.
• Its commitment and partnership with Canaan Christian Centre
