On Thursday, PPY will be holding interviews for an additional worker with the PYAG project to work alongside Sharon Macauly.

The additional worker will be a great asset – helping to provide a range of activities and maintain a great level of personal support for the participants. Please pray for this important appointment – for God’s wisdom to make the right decisions. For further information please contact Andy Macauly (520534)

Holy God, the companion of our pilgrimage and the goal towards which we move: through the events that shape our journey, through the people who walk at our side, through the places where we sense your presence, grant us moments of grace along the way, as you draw us to yourself, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
