Pray Plymouth: Plymouth Guild

George Penderleith

Part of the City since 1907 Plymouth Guild’s reason for existence is to support people and for over 100 years have provided information, advice and practical support.

From the beginning the Lord Mayer has been President and there are strong ties with the Council.

Plymouth Guild has initiated many enabling/helping groups and as they get bigger they sometimes take over the running of their own organisation. At present they are running, among other things, the Hearing and Sight Centre, the Disabiliity Information and Advice Centre (DIAC), the Volunteer Centre and Patient Support Services.

There are 40 staff and 70 volunteers.

Prayer Points:

• Thank God for the existence of the Guild with many Christians involved in its work
• Pray that it will be of help to the people of Plymouth, especially in these difficult times
• Pray for George in his role as Chief Executive of the Guild and his involvement with the Strategic Partnership, sitting on the 2020 executive. He also is a Pastor and has a family! Pray for the right balance in his life and wisdom in his decisions.
• Recently George and Chris Clewer of Ctip have started to get to know each other and explore areas of possible overlapping and working together. Please pray that they will know God’s plan and purpose in this.
• There is growing social need in the City and the Guild has many demands upon its resources. Pray that resources will be steady and even grow and that the Church in Plymouth will be further mobilised to find ways of serving the community and help lessen the distress and pain caused by unemployment.
