Thank God for

• Grace Gollapalli, our former Shop Manager at Southcote who is expecting a baby; thank God for her contribution to CCA and also for all she has learnt, which she is taking back to india with her. Praise God for her pregnancy which is an answer to prayer.
  
• Mireille Haviland, our new Shop Manager at Southcote; please pray too for Mireille as she undergoes a steep learning curve without the benefit of a handover from Grace.
  
• Tom Wedd, who we are happy to have been able to promote to Manager at our Silver Street furniture outlet.
  
• Students from Ripon Theological College spending a day with us and please pray that the insight they have gained will inform their ministry.

 Please pray for

• All our staff and volunteers as they take their holidays - that they will be rested and refreshed while they are away. Pray too for those who are not going away just yet, and are covering for others' absances, for strength, good health and continued joy in their work
  
• Guidance for Ann-Marie and CCA's trustees as they consider strategy - how we can continue to do what we do, but better. Pray that God will open doors for us to expand the work when the time is right.
  
• Safety on the roads for our vans.
  
• More Volunteers especially for the Oxford Road Support Centre and Southcote Shop.
  
• God to direct those who are truly in need of our Support Centre's services to us; that those who are desparate will find us and as their practical needs are met they will receive hope, joy and peace as well.

Thank you for praying with us. You will find more inspiration for prayer on our news page.
