For the HIGH COUNCIL which will convene on 29 July for the purpose of electing the next GENERAL. For Armed Forces personnel serving in Afghanistan and other areas of conflict. For students at schools and colleges who will be seeking useful employment over the summer months. For the Christians of PAKISTAN facing opposition and persecution. For all those far from well, or are recovering from illness, and those known and cared about. 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 – Armed Forces Day’ ‘Lord, stretch forth Your mighty arm to strengthen and protect our service men and women.

AMEN.’(Church of England liturgy)
