This event used to be known as the Women’s World Day Of Prayer, but the organisers stress that the World Day Of Prayer is an event for all, not just women. The theme this year is “I know the plans I have for you.” Do come along to the Salvation Army on Friday 4th at 2pm to worship and pray.

We were pleased to welcome Jake Pass who is the interim Mission To Seafarers Chaplain for Felixstowe & the Haven Ports until a new Chaplain is appointed later in the year. He is also an ordinand with the Church of England, based in Cambridge but prior to that was a Chaplain in MTS in a number of locations, most recently in Hull, where he swapped with Father Herbert Fadriquela last year. For those of you who missed this interesting and informative session here is a video he made for Sea Sunday in 2017 which tells us more of the work of MTS.

Jake gave us a series of prayer points and we reproduce them here so that you may use them in prayer meetings Sunday services and home groups.

Besides a new MTS Chaipain, one of the big changes in Felixstowe will be a takeover of management of the Seafarers Centre by Queen Victoria’s Seaman’s Rest, a Methodist charity committed to ecumenical working with other agencies. Please pray that this change will proceed smoothly and that work amongst seafarers will be blessed by the move.

As a bonus, we’ve added this little video which was produced last year that gives us a little more insight into global work amongst seafarers by a number of mission organisations.
