Prayer pointers for the Benefice 

Please pray for all the couples who are preparing to get married in our churches this year.

We pray for all those who are ill, unwell or struggling, among them Nicky Bull, Amanda Berry, Peter Snelling and Vivienne Wilkinson, and any others known to us who need God’s healing and wholeness.  

We remember all those who have died. 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.

 

Prayer for Christian Unity

Loving God,
You have called us to unity.
May our response to your call
lead us to actively seek justice and reconciliation
and share Your light with the world. Amen.
