Prayer pointers for the Benefice
We
pray for the wedding couples who are planning to get married in the churches of
our benefice.
And we pray for the children who will be
baptised in our churches. Grant that they may grow in the faith into which they will be baptised,
that they will profess it for themselves when they come to be confirmed. Guide
their parents and godparents that they may go the journey of discipleship
together.
We pray for all those who are ill or in any way unwell, among them, Nicky
Bull, Steve Meech, Jim Lowe, Amanda Berry, Andrew Potter, Penny Watkins and
Josie Wakelin.
We remember all those who have passed from this
life to the next, remembering especially Bridget Hutton and Riet Howard.
May
they rest in peace and rise in glory. And
we pray for all who mourn. May they be held in God’s love and comforted in
their grief.
Collect Prayer from the Baptism Service
Heavenly Father,
by the power of your Holy Spirit
you give to your faithful people new life in the water of baptism.
Guide and strengthen us by the same Spirit,
that we who are born again may serve you in faith and love,
and grow into the full stature of your Son, Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
now and for ever.
Amen.
