SU Prayer Diary http://www.scriptureunion.org.uk//Sites/SiteFacilities/RSSFeeds/SUPrayerDiary/25385.rss Daily prayer diary for Scripture Union ministries and people. en-GB Scripture Union, http://www.scriptureunion.org.uk 16/05/2010 Recruiting Volunteers Without volunteers Scripture Union’s work could not happen. They are absolutely key in so many areas – some work with children and young people, others cook, stuff envelopes or provide expert advice in key areas. Every year sees the need for new volunteers who hear God’s call to become part of the ministry and serve God. Experience says that they will gain as much as they give. http://www.scriptureunion.org.uk//News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/RecruitingVolunteers/117912.id /News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/RecruitingVolunteers/117912.id Sat, 15 May 2010 23:00:00 UTC +0100 09/05/2010 Equipping Christians for ministry One of the four objectives of Scripture Union’s current strategy is to equip others. Spiritual preparation is the most important aspect, but in a world of increasing professionalism there is always a need for acquiring new skills and developing our abilities. Through publications, through training courses, through consultancy with churches, through modelling good practice in our activities we aim to help others become more effective. http://www.scriptureunion.org.uk//News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/EquippingChristiansforministry/117903.id /News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/EquippingChristiansforministry/117903.id Sat, 08 May 2010 23:00:00 UTC +0100 02/05/2010 Importance of the Bible Situations and approaches change but helping people read, understand and apply the Bible still lies at the heart of all we do. This is true of our published material, in print and digital forms, for individuals and groups, our holidays and missions, our work in schools and churches. The challenge is to ensure that people hear the timeless message in ways that make sense in their worlds. http://www.scriptureunion.org.uk//News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/ImportanceoftheBible/117894.id /News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/ImportanceoftheBible/117894.id Sat, 01 May 2010 23:00:00 UTC +0100 23/05/2010 Looking forward to the summer Summer is a key time for SU. With 70 holidays and 28 missions and churches running their own holiday clubs using SU material, there are many opportunities for children, young people and families to hear the good news. But there are many competing activities and it is important that children and young people are drawn to those that could make a lasting difference to their lives. http://www.scriptureunion.org.uk//News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/Lookingforwardtothesummer/117921.id /News/Prayer/PrayerDiary/Lookingforwardtothesummer/117921.id Sat, 01 May 2010 23:00:00 UTC +0100
