    Do you need Prayer?Join BPS Parents in Prayer

    Parents in Prayer are parents at Bryanston Primary who love Jesus Christ and wish to make him Lord of our lives.

    Our purpose is to PRAY for the children, the parents, the staff. Where possible, we try to give practical help to needy families in the school. We rely on concerned parents and staff to tell us their needs. All information is strictly confidential.

    A confidential prayer newsletter is sent out at least once a month, to

    parents on the prayer list. If possible small groups of parents can get together and pray during the week.

    Join us as we seek to find His Will.

    Please contact Nicole Dowsley ([email protected]) to find out more information about Parents in Prayer.

    Come join us at Kids 4 Jesus!This term we will learn how Jesus Rescues!
