Ideas to see in the New Year
Hope08 December / January Prayer Resources:
As we began Hope08 in prayer, let’s remember to return to give praise and thanks and to pray together for all that is yet to come in 2009 and beyond.

A New Year's Prayer for Hope: This short video brings together two dimensions of the Church - the wisdom and commitment of senior leaders Archbishop John Sentamu and Pastor John Glass, representing all those who steer the churches down the road of hope; and the passion and engagement of young people who will carry the flame of hope forward into the emerging culture and the emerging world that God loves. Please feel free to use it in your church or small group to guide your own prayers for hope and the future. Click here to play / download the video from our website.
