Pray with us
Join us in prayer for God to move in schools, pray the 'Spinnaker Prayer' & find excellent resources from our partner, Pray for Schools
We believe whole heartedly in the value and power of prayer and appreciate you supporting us and your local schools in this way.
There is a selection of ideas below to guide you in your prayers:
We would like to praise God for...
The opportunities we have to visit schools and deliver assemblies, but also to get involved in so many others ways, for example:
- Christmas Collective worship - an wonderful opportunity to talk about joy and the true meaning of Christmas.
- The RE days that happen in lots of hubs covering various topics from curriculum such as The Kingdom of God.
- Enrichment days in Eastbourne to facilitate creative worship and prayer in schools around specific themes.
- Supporting children to lead assembly themselves through the lunchtime Faith Group in Lambeth.
We would like you to pray for...
- All the activities we will be delivering in schools over Christmas.
- The new person joining our team as the Engagement and Administration Lead.
- The Spinnaker Team as they support their schools.
- Financial provision to support the work we do.
A prayer written by David, one of our supporters:
Lord, bless every opportunity we have in this season to share the true meaning of Christmas. May You open doors for conversations filled with grace, and give us courage and joy as we speak of Christ’s love. May Your Holy Spirit guide our words, Your peace rest upon our gatherings, and Your light shine through us in every activity. May those we meet be drawn not only to the story of Christmas, but to the living Saviour who is at the heart of it all.
In Jesus name, Amen

We are grateful to our partners Pray for Schools for their constant encouragement and inspirational ideas.
