Praying for other churches
Since January 2020 we have been sending out a weekly email on a Tuesday. Part of this is to pray for other churches in our Borough and for other Elim churches within 80 miles of Nuneaton. Every week we pray for a different church. In 2020 we did this by using a list of churches, with a little nformation about each one and a Scripture. Below, you can see the Archive for these postings. Click the link if you want to discover more.
1: January-June 2020 (26 different churches)
2: July-December 2020 (22 different churches)
Songs
We sing a wide variety of songs at NCF! Some have been written very recently, whilst others are centuries old. We sing a good mixture of songs from the United Kingdon, United States and Australia, as well as some other nations.
