Dear friends,

Welcome to our new, twice-yearly Prayer Diary where we share what is happening at Shaftesbury with you, our valued prayer partners. We have decided to produce our Prayer Diary every six months as it makes the best use of our resources. Additionally, we have added a page of prayers just for you; we recognise that we all need the power of prayer in our lives.

This autumn, we are reflecting on God’s promise of help in all we do and the way this works across our charity – help from God, help from each other, help from other organisations and churches we work with. Then, for the winter months (December to February), we focus on working from the heart and the difference this makes as we seek to enable people with disabilities to flourish.

Thank you for continuing to support us in prayer.

Until next time,

Sally Chivers
CEO
