FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
We pray for the families in the mining community of SOMA, Turkey, as they mourn the loss of over 300 loved ones. We pray for the peoples of the town destroyed in N.E. Nigeria, and the safe return of the young girls abducted by extremists. We pray for the planning and organisation of the Ultimate Church Visit Week beginning tomorrow and for those who will attend. For the peoples of UKRAINE, that peace would reign in this troubled country. For Pauline Berry’s cousin, Denie, who is seriously ill. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the persecuted Christian women in nations where they are treated with disrespect and lack of dignity. The claiming of the ‘SQUARE MILE’ around our hall in prayer over the next weeks and months. DON’T FORGET – to use the Prayer Network – see Audrey Beeching or Jo Gaskin. ‘PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK – Dementia Awareness Week’
‘God of all comfort, we pray for all who are distressed and disorientated because of the confusion and memory loss caused by dementia. Grant courage, direction and hope for their families as they face the future. AMEN’ Cut Here > ……………………………………………………………………….
