Leader: Rev. Dr. Sue Woan
We will be having another teaching day at ASM on Saturday 12th October 2024. From ancient scrolls to best-selling paperbacks, the journey of how we received our Bible is a fascinating tale. It encompasses the challenges of Bible translation and touches on the efforts of organizations like the Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Bible Society. Rev. Dr. Sue Woan, with her gift of bringing such subjects to life, has led days at ASM before, on "A romp through the Old Testament", "Walking in New Testament Footsteps" and two half-days on the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of John. We are delighted to have her back again. Free tickets will be available through EventBrite as before. Start and End Time shown above are only approximate and will be confirmed later. More details to follow...

Guidance for praying for the upcoming GENERAL ELECTION
There can be a lot of fear and anger around elections. As we come into prayer now, pause for a moment and present our hearts to the Holy Spirit, asking Him to bring us into His perspective.
For I am the LORD you God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you “DO NOT FEAR; I WILL HELP YOU” Isaiah 41:13
Prayer: LORD, I know that You are so much bigger than anything we are facing in this nation. Thank You that You reign above it all. As I pray today, I ask You to lead me into Your perspective of the situation, full of Your comfort, Your authority and Your hope. Amen.
PRAY FOR PEACE
‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ Isaiah 9:6
Tensions run high around elections, so let’s pray for peace to cover every part of the process:
PRAYER FOR VOTERS
‘But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. ‘ James 3:17
PRAY FOR OUR NATION
‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the in the heavenly realms. ‘ Ephesians 6:12.
There are spiritual realities involved in human circumstance, and Jesus has ultimate authority over every ‘spiritual force of evil’ in our world. Let’s pray against the darkness that is enflaming fear, despair, and violence in people’s hearts:
PRAY FOR THE MEDIA
‘Get rid of bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you.’ Ephesians 4:31-32
Let’s pray that the media contribute to these elections in helpful ways:
PRAY FOR THE CHURCH
‘For we are God’s handwork, created by Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do’ Ephesians 2:10
As we look to a future beyond these elections, let’s pray:
PRAY FOR THE FUTURE
‘I urge you to pray for all people. Ask God to help them, intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity’ 1 Timothy 2:1-3
Let’s pray for the leaders who are involved in this election:
PRAY FOR JUSTICE
‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: ”Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other” Zechariah 7:9-10
As we look to a future beyond these elections, let’s pray:
