Prayer pointers for the Benefice
Please continue to 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, Vivienne Wilkinson, Martin Favell 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 Summer Prayer
Father, thank You for the warmth of the sun, the long days, and the opportunity to enjoy Your creation. May I walk on sandy beaches, rest under blue skies, and fully embrace the gifts of nature. Help me be present in each moment, appreciating the beauty around me and the people I share it with. Let my summer be filled with joy, love, peace, and meaningful connections Amen.
