Dear All

I attach the Welcome sheet and readings for this week.

My hope is that you and your families have not been directly affected by the civil unrest we have witnessed on our TV screens and in our papers or on our phones. Nevertheless, it is something to be concerned for and to pray about.

Please join me in saying this prayer:-

Dear God

Protect all our citizens from violence and attacks of hatred.

Protect our streets and communities from civil violence and unrest, damage and looting.

Protect our police force as they deal with assailants.

Help our communities to show the love for their neighbours that you call us to.

Let love triumph over evil, bringing your healing calm by the power of your Holy Spirit into our midst.

We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

I am looking forward to seeing you this Sunday either at our 9.30 am service at St James, High Wych or our 11.15 am service at St Mary’s, Gilston – both of which are communion services.

Please also pray for the baptism family who will be bringing their children for baptism at St James at 2.30 pm.

Every blessing

Alison
