12th August 2026 Keep Praying! from Travis “Pray continually.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17 As we come to the end of our six-week series on prayer, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 remind us that prayer was never intended to be something we simply study and then move on from. Prayer is an invitation to a life continually turned towards God. It is a blessed practice that we are continually learning, putting into practice and growing in across our lives as disciples.

15th July 2026 Organised to Intercede! from Travis How often have you responding to becoming aware of a friend's need by saying "I'll be praying for you"? For most of us, I'd imagine the answer is: quite often! In that moment that commitment to pray is a genuine intention, an expression of our care for the person and an outworking of our belief in the power of prayer... ... and yet, skip forward in time and how easy is it to suddenly realise that we neglected to do so?!
