Weekly Prayer Focus: Swaffham Baptist Church

Week 9

Swaffham is a growing market town in the west of Norfolk with a population of just over 9000. In the heart of the town is the Baptist Church, with a fellowship of around 30. The leadership team consists of Barry, Tim, Chris and Barb (Deacons), Jo (Secretary) and Simon (Moderator).  The church is currently going through a period of increasing stability, with new members of the congregation bring new skills and gifts.

Twice a month the church runs a Craft Group which provides an opportunity for outreach into the community. They run a regular Prayer and Soup Meeting, and in addition to their traditional Sunday services, where they are supported by several retired ministers and preachers, they have started a more informal Café style service with more contemporary music once a month. A Bible study group meets bi-weekly, and the church are currently following a preaching plan based on the story of Joseph in Genesis.

Please pray for:

• Continued stability and growth as new members of the church settle into the fellowship and share their gifts.
• A number of the church family who are currently facing challenges.
• Continued positive response to outreach events as the fellowship seek to the bless their local community, particularly the weekly market traders.
