Weekly Prayer Focus: Centenary Baptist Church

Week 16

March is a Fenland market town in north Cambridgeshire where you will find Centenary Baptist Church prominently located in the town centre. There has been a Baptist church in March since the 1700’s but the current buildings are big and airy with good facilities and spaces.

Since last September the church has been led by Kim Downes as the Minister in Training who spends half her time with the church and the other half studying at Spurgeon’s College.

The church itself is a welcoming and friendly community of Christians seeking to serve within the fellowship and the wider community. There are up to fifty attending services on Sundays. Once a month there is café church and also a Kids’ café meeting for youngsters.

The church has a regular programme of activities like housegroups, a weekly prayer meeting and Chatterbox, a successful toddler group for which there is a waiting list.

An Alpha course is starting after Easter and prayers are requested that people will come to faith through this.

There is community support with the local Foodbank hosted at Centenary, a CAP centre in partnership with Wisbech Baptist Church, and a Warm Hub in the downstairs hall on Wednesdays with drinks, snacks, games and chat. Centenary Church is part of Churches Together in March which is very active in the town.

The church is currently engaged in a consultancy project with Rev Simon Goddard from Rivertree which is seeking God’s will for the future ministry and direction of the church and how to address the challenges this will bring.

Please pray for:

Kim and the leadership team as they seek God’s will for the growth of the church.
For the Alpha course starting in April and all those who attend.
For more families to attend and become involved in the church.
For all the regular activities and community work that takes place.
For the consultancy project to see what God wants to do next in the fellowship.
