Shine Like Stars (28 June)

Our June 2026 Praise & Prayer evening will be on the theme of “Shine Like Stars”.

The phrase comes from Philippians 2:12-18.

Therefore, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, so now, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work according to his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world, by holding firm to the word of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run or labour for nothing. But even if I am poured out as a drink offering on the sacrificial service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. In the same way you should also be glad and rejoice with me.

We will have 45 minutes of Praise and Prayer, including time to pray in small groups for the works of all our partner churches.

Then there will be a choice of four 45-minute workshops on how to share your faith where you are.

The workshops are:

  • Children/teens/young people
  • Parents “at the school gate”
  • At work
  • Empty-nesters

If your church normally has an evening service or a youth group, why not consider relocating for this event?

When? Sunday 28 June, 6:30 pm

Where? St Mark’s New Ferry

Twice each year we gather for a Wirral Gospel Partnership prayer breakfast.

We arrive around 9:00am to settle with tea & coffee, ready to begin prayer promptly at 9:15. There are usually around 100 people gathered, split into groups of around 7 or 8 people across the room.

There are usually creche and children’s facilities to enable families to join.

We pray from 9:15 to 10:00am, at which point tables are put up and we enjoy a breakfast meal together.

It’s a hugely encouraging time hearing Christians from across Wirral praying for one another.

When? Our next prayer breakfast will be on Saturday 28 November in time for Christmas.

Where? TBC.

Cost? There is a nominal cost to cover the food. Please sign up through your local WGP church.

About Ian

Born in Edinburgh, Ian Cape started his musical life by tapping on the pews in his local church. After years of pestering his long-suffering parents, he began studying drum kit aged 9, playing with several rock bands shortly thereafter. Percussion lessons with Pam Dow at the Junior department of the then Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama culminated in a bursary to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Ian attended All Souls Langham Place, London for many years, where he was heavily involved in the various music ministries under Noel Tredinnick, playing in services, the orchestra and in various outreach programs across London and further afield, on an eclectic diet of music ranging from the extremely traditional to the latest contemporary offerings.
