AVONSIDE MISSION AREA VISION
The Avonside Mission
Area is a network of
five local Anglican
Churches serving the
North West of Bristol.
We exist to bring about

through the power of the
Holy Spirit.
We long to see…

blessing in our communities
• people experiencing life in all its fullness [Jn10.10]
• all people knowing that they are loved and valued
• an end to poverty and injustice
• healing for the broken, wounded and hurting
• freedom for the oppressed
• restoration for the hope-less, needy and lonely
• those involved in education, health and social care
supported, equipped and flourishing
• all people finding a place of respect, belonging and
acceptance
• God’s love shared with everyone through our love of all people
• the development of people’s gifts, skills and abilities
• people of all ages coming to faith and living full lives
of worship
• disciples obediently living out their faith and bearing witness
to Christ in the whole of their lives
• the Bible and purposes of God understood
• disciples growing in the fruit and using the gifts of, the Holy
Spirit

2018 CELEBRATION EVENINGS
Loving Father, we commit ourselves as your people and the churches we represent,
promising to uphold one another in prayer and build one another up in your Son,
Jesus Christ.
Help us to work together so see an end to poverty and injustice in this area. We pray for
healing for the broken, wounded and hurting; freedom for the oppressed, and restoration
for the hope-less, needy and lonely.
We ask that you would empower us to be your hands, feet and hearts to our communities,
that all people would know that they are loved, valued and of worth, and find a place of
respect, belonging and acceptance.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer.
