Prayer pointers for the Benefice
Please pray for our Churchwardens and PCCs as we move forward during the vacancy in post, and seek to appoint a new minister for our benefice.
Please pray for the couples who are preparing to get married in our churches this year.
We pray for all those who are ill, among them Peter Snelling, Nicky Bull and Vivienne Wilkinson, and any others who need God’s healing and wholeness.
We remember all those who have recently died, may they rest in peace and rise in glory, and may those who mourn be held in God’s love and comforted in their grief.
🙏 A Growing in God Prayer
O Lord, our God, giver of life and growth,
grow in us a longing for you,
that we might deepen our faith;
grow in us a compassion for your world,
that we might serve our neighbours;
grow in us a vision for your kingdom,
that we might proclaim your love.
By the power of your Spirit, and in Jesus’ name. Amen.
