Please pray for…
… the Holy Church throughout the world … strengthen your people throughout the world, giving courage to those who preach, teach and serve in your name … bless all ministers and missionaries, and help every congregation to be a place where fear is overcome by trust and hope is shared with all. … for our benefice as we prepare for a period of vacancy;
… our world … Be with those who lead the nations, granting them wisdom, compassion and integrity … we remember all who face war, persecution, hunger, displacement or the effects of natural disasters … calm the storms of violence and division, and inspire all people to seek reconciliation and the common good;
… all who are in need …reach out now to all who feel overwhelmed by illness, anxiety, grief, loneliness, financial hardship or despair … may they know your comforting presence, your healing touch and the support of those who care for them.
… those who have died and rest in the peace of Christ, especially Albert Hassan (Clutton/Chew Stoke), Michael Patch (Winford), Beryl Cole (Winford) and those whose anniversary falls at this time … rest them in your eternal love, and bring comfort and strength to all who mourn.
