One of the most powerful ways to pray for children is to use scripture. Because the Bible is the living word of God, you can Pray His Word back to him. Pray for children by name (if known) asking that they will grow: in wisdom (the mind); in stature (physically); in favour with God (spiritually) and in favour with man (socially). 'Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man' Luke 2:52 Please continue to pray for Footsteps. Thanks, Sarah Price

As she re-enters the dating world, she finds herself pursued by a younger man while also forming an unexpected connection with her son's science teacher. Cert. 15. Doors open 7 pm; film at 7.30 pm Ticket price £5
