      <image:title>Leaders - Jamie &amp; Heidi Adams</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jamie Adams leads Encounter Church with a genuine love for Jesus, for people, and for family. That love is something you will see, it is woven throughout his life. His wife, children and grandchildren love Jesus and they love coming to Church. Jamie is not an office guy. He loves the outdoors, listening to podcasts and enjoying music. But even better for him would be a good live band. Sunday evenings are his favorite time of the week, when the whole family gathers— kids, grandkids, his mother-in-law, and often a few extra friends. It’s lively, loud,and full of joy. There’s music, games, dancing, a jump house inflated in the yard, kids and dogs running everywhere—it’s a bit of mayhem, but the wonderful kind. And in the middle of it all, Jamie is usually the one cooking. Beyond the church, Jamie serves the broader community as a chaplain, specializing in family care and mediation. He partners closely with local funeral homes, walking with families through grief, loss, and burial services—offering compassion, and care during some of life’s hardest moments. The leadership at Encounter Church is seasoned and relational, they are committed to jogging alongside those who want to grow deeper in the things of Jesus. Check our website for current times and locations. The strength of this church—is its people.There is a genuine excitement here—a shared desire to follow Jesus and grow together in Him. “Our kids love Jesus &amp; the Church! So you will see many of them as volunteers and leading at Encounter” ~Jamie Adams</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pray - Tuesday 17th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jesus, just as Elisha asked for a double portion; today we are boldly asking for twice the thirst and hunger for Your presence - now more than ever.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pray - Wednesday 18th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Father, we understand that different battles require different weapons. In Your Word you've laid out the weapons You've given us; prayer, fasting, tithing, thanksgiving, singing, giving unity and praise- just to name a few. Lord, is there a specific weapon I should be using today? I know that it might not be a weapon I'm familiar with, but Jesus, I know I could be a simple song away from a breakthrough.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pray - Friday 20th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lord, today we stand in the gap for those who cannot or will not pray for themselves. God we are determined to intercede for them until they encounter the grace of You. Father, we will not move from this place of prayer until significant work has been done.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pray - Tuesday 24th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Father, give us a passion in prayer that will enable us to pray and never give up. God, we are excited to see how you will use as as we continue to position ourselves in persistent prayer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pray - Wednesday 25th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Holy Spirit, we are asking with boldness - speak to us. Dampen and lower the volume of all the other competing voices. Right now we are asking the our desire to live near and in your presence to never leave. We are expecting to hear You clearly, now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pray - Thursday 26th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Holy Spirit, we ask to walk with you in nearness and with a friendship that we have never known. Father forgive us.

      <image:title>Pray - Friday 27th</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lord, right now, there is no agenda. Our desire is know You and Your purpose of our life. We repent for running too fast, asking too quickly and bowing to the pressure and pace of culture and lifestyle that has forgotten how to wait. Father- TEACH ME TO WAIT!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Clothing Share - Community Clothing Share</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Encounter Church, we believe in the power of community and the importance of caring for one another. Our Clothing Share initiative is designed to promote sustainability, provide support for families, and foster generosity among our members. How It Works: 24/7 Donation Dropbox: Starting now, community members are welcome to bring gently used clothing (Women’s, Children’s and Maternity) items to share. You’ll find a designated 24/7 donation dropbox located outside of the entry doors at Encounter Church. Lift the lid, donate items, then text the phone number noted on the poster above the box. Items will be promptly picked up by a volunteer. Donations will be washed, sorted and prepped for sharing (November 9th, 10-12PM). The Share: On the day of the clothing share, November 9th, 10-12PM, community members are invited to browse and select items they need at no cost. This aims to help those who may be facing difficulties or simply looking to refresh their wardrobe sustainably.</image:caption>
