Pray for Hope for Gorton
As we prepare for Hope for Gorton at our church, Trinity Baptist, Gorton and with other Christian friends and supporters, our first priority is prayer.
Hope begins on our knees. As we work and act for justice and peace and as we share the good news of Jesus, we need to pray – before during and after our actions.
