Prayer List:
We remember all communities affected violence, both in the UK and throughout the world.
We continue to pray for peace throughout our world, we pray for peace in the Middle East; Ukraine and Russia; and those places that no longer make the headlines in our news bulletins.
We pray for the ongoing situation playing out in Iran and remember Ahmad and Fatemeh who have family and friends in Iran and following the news to find out what is happening.
We continue to pray for all communities affected by disasters throughout the world.
We remember those members of our congregation and others who are known to us who are unwell at this time or awaiting medical test results. We think of Yuri who is recovering from recent surgery and Ellis who is still awaiting further treatment.
We pray for those who mourn, both known in our local communities as well as further afield.
We also remember those who are struggling with the on-going Cost-of-Living crisis. For the local Food Banks who many rely upon for their weekly groceries.
This past week has been Refugee Week, and we pray for all Refugees throughout the world.
We remember those who are homeless or currently placed in hostels or Bed and Breakfast accommodation awaiting to be rehomed.
