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 give thanks for the news of the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza and hope it leads to peace.
We continue to pray for all communities affected by disasters throughout the world. We think especially of the people of Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Melissa.
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 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.
We remember those who are homeless or currently placed in hostels or Bed and Breakfast accommodation awaiting to be rehomed.
