Safeguarding Training: Don’t forget! If you are a Sidesperson, Church sitter, Little Gang volunteer, Baptism welcomer or coffee morning host you are required under Church of England rules to undertake basic safeguarding training this Saturday.

Lord Jesus, hear our voices as we pray for your care and protection. Strengthen and guide us

as we strive to make our Church a safe place for all. We especially ask that the children

and vulnerable adults you entrust to our care are protected. Give us the wisdom and courage

to listen with open hearts, see with open eyes, and speak out to ensure children and

vulnerable adults are safe, loved, respected, and cared for. May we also pray for those

who have been harmed. Give them the courage to seek the truth and to heal.

Lord, you call us to walk with integrity in the service of others.

May we all strive to understand our collective responsibility to work together to safeguard St Nic’s. Guide us as we build a community that fosters everyone to flourish and be safe.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen

Please remember in your prayers: Jeff Chambers, Katie, Tony Ryan, Louise Clark, Mark Price, Dean, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra, Tom, Michael and John McLellan. Please also remember the families and friends of Keith Ingham and Jean Laithwaite-Bond whose funerals are due to take place.
