FOR OUR PRAYERS … . • • • • • • • • •
We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and cessation to the ongoing violence in Gaza, and for peace in Syria, Iraq & Ukraine. Christopher Hodges and family – Chris’ father passed away suddenly. Giving thanks for our young people on the successful conclusions of their exams. Well done! For the peoples of UKRAINE, SYRIA & IRAQ, that peace would reign in these troubled countries. We pray for the completion of the building works, and for patience during programme changes. For our members who are struggling with ill-health in body, mind or spirit. For the persecuted Christians of TANZANIA that the land will not be further Islamised. 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 – ZERO WASTE WEEK’
‘Creator God, we praise You for the beauty and fruitfulness of all You have made. Please help those who work to protect and nurture our world’s habitats, that plants, animals, birds, sea life and insects under threat of extinction may be saved. AMEN’
