Prayer for the week ahead

Loving God,
Help us to hear the voices
of those enduring extreme poverty.
It is hard to listen to stories of pain.
Show us how compassion for others can bring
healing and fullness of life for all.
Help us to understand that
we are one through your love,
for every human being is loved by you, beyond measure.

Loving God,
you call on us to build your kingdom
of justice, mercy, and truth.
It isn't a task for the faint-hearted.
When we lose our sense of purpose,
fill us with faith.
When we doubt or throw up our hands in despair,
fill us with hope.
When we pass by our neighbour
as though we did not know them,
Fill us with the love that turns us back
and takes us to their aid.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
(From Christian Aid Week's Order of Service for May 2024.)

Prayer Chain

Our church has a Prayer Chain – a group of people who are willing to pray for others in emergency situations. This is regularly used and greatly valued by the church community. For further details please have a word with our Minister, or contact Marie Wright. (If you don't have the relevant contact numbers for the individuals concerned, please use the email form on our Key Contacts page.)

Paul Mears Quiet Room

A small room next to our Church Sanctuary, available whenever the building is open. A place where you can read the Bible or other Christian booklets, pray, or just sit quietly.

If you have any prayer requests or concerns, please enter them in the Prayer Book which is kept in the Quiet Room.
