Here we suggest focus areas for prayer, but please continue to pray for the work of our churches and missionary partners around the world (details on our website).
Church family news:
- Please pray for all who are in pain, unwell or just a bit under the weather.
- Pray for Barbara, home from hospital. If you would like to visit, please ring first 01920 438277.
- Pray for all who grieve, especially the family and friends of Julie Williams, Jim King and Evelyn Haylock.
Pray for our community
In our cycle of prayers, this weekend we ask you to include in your prayers:
- staff and pupils in our local schools, as the half term break offers a period of rest and recuperation
- our local councillors, and our MP, serving our community amid all the political turmoil
- magistrates and all who volunteer for public service
Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches
This week we ask you to include in your prayers:
- our officers, church wardens and PCC as we start to prepare for our annual meetings in April
- those hearing God’s call to service in our benefice, that they will respond
- all who work quietly behind the scenes, in service to our churches
- as ever right now, the person God is calling to come and serve him in this benefice and community
Pray for our mission partners
This week, we ask for your prayers for CPAS Ventures holidays. CPAS Ventures run just over 50 Christian holidays for children aged 8-18. Orwell 3 is the 11-14 holiday which Lizzy F helps to lead, and which our young people attend. More information about our partners can be found on our website.
Praise God for:
- 28 young people already signed up, many of whom are coming for the first time
- Several new leaders willing to serve as dorm leaders, assistant leaders and cooks
Please pray for:
- More dorm leaders, particularly female ones
- The core team as some new members join, and as they plan the teaching programme over the next few weeks
If you are aware of anyone who would like our prayers, or who would like the church family to share in some news, good or bad, please let Caroline know ([email protected]).
