Welcome...


.... to Churches Together in Shrewsbury. 

 

Please pray with us:

For yourself - put on the whole armour of God so that you may be able to stand firm against evil. Ephesians 6 v10-20

For Shrewsbury - that the name of Jesus may be known on the streets.

For the world - that wherever there is a spark of belief, God will pour out the fuel of his love and the wind of his Spirit so that the flames of faith may burn bright and the darkness be overcome. Thy Kingdom come, Oh Lord.

QUOTE: "I want to express my thanks for the service you provide. My friend had passed out and was not cooperating. The SPs appeared and were very helpful, ensuring that we got home safe. I honestly don't know how I would have managed on my own so I want to thank you very much"
