Prayer & News 2026

What an incredible joy it is to believe in a risen God, who has saved me! I thank Him that this is the reason why we do what we do.

I’m praying ahead to the Gathering weekend, that it’s filled with young people desiring to learn, worship and be in community with each other and God.

Please pray into the spiritual preparation for our Campsite Team, staff and volunteers, that we may lead wisely and courageously this year.

I pray that during the busy times we all encounter God personally through the conversations we have and the beauty around us at Vauxhall.

Please pray for Beth and myself, as we enter a busy spell at the Campsite, that we feel God’s blessing on us and his protection around us.

God, we thank you that you are our provider! Whether financial, physical or mental, Lord, you see our needs and meet them!

NG Camp starts today! Please pray that all the young people arrive safely and settle in well and particularly for those who may be nervous or unsure.

This year the theme of camp is “Who Am I”? Please pray into our daily sessions as we focus on worth, self-esteem and our treatment of others.

This week we are creating opportunities for faith moments through prayer, reflection and discussions. Let’s pray that God would move!

It’s our last night of NG Camp! We thank God for all that He has done through the week and pray that this week would have a lasting impact on the young people.

Please join me in praying for the Gathering weekend. I pray that the young people will grow in relationship with God and each other.

As Basecamp weeks approach, I pray for energy for the team and that we will remain interruptible by the Holy Spirit.

As I am continuing to recover after surgery, I am amazed at the work God has done in me. I pray today that you notice how fearfully and wonderfully made you are.

I pray for our team, both staff and volunteers, to find moments to be still, pause, and sit in God’s presence.

Let’s pray today for Josh and Ursula. I’m grateful for our working relationship and pray that it grows as we continue to listen to what God is saying.

Please pray for our School Chaplaincy team as they begin the summer term – would they walk closely with God, know His heart and hear His voice.

Please pray for moments of wonder and reflection through creative spaces and questions offered by our Chaplains this term. Ask God to be at work in these conversations.

Our team are supported by many wonderful mentors, church leaders, family and friends. I’m thanking God for these faithful people who walk prayerfully alongside us.

Please pray for inspiration and wisdom for me as I continue to explore our vision for School Chaplaincy and how we can continue to grow our work.

The summer term brings added pressure for many students and staff, I’m praying our Chaplains will bring light, hope and a different perspective to those who are feeling burdened.

Declare with me today; “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future!” Jeremiah 29:11

Yesterday’s verse brought comfort to someone in need within my work. May the God of all comfort draw near to those at Chantry who need hope today.

“Father of compassion and the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4). As we enter a season of exams, high expectations, and talk of results, pray that I will be a conduit of Christ’s compassion.

Our school welcomes a new head after half term. Please pray for him, staff, students, and for me to offer steady, Christ-filled presence through this time of change.

I’m privileged to encourage our team in their pastoral and spiritual care. Pray for a restful bank holiday and for our whole-team gathering next month.
