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 those mourning the deaths of Anna Miles, Stella Illot and Lilian Millward.

- Please continue to pray for those of our church family who are unwell, undergoing treatment, waiting for tests or procedures or grieving.

Pray for our community

In our cycle of prayers, this weekend we ask you to include in your prayers:

- everyone affected, directly or indirectly, by the wildfires and grass fires occurring at the moment

- our farmers and growers, and those whose livelihood depends on our temperate climate

- our emergency services, responding to increasing call-outs and water companies looking for solutions to our lack of water

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- all our church family, away or at home in this traditional holiday month

- Caroline, our lay chairs and church wardens as they prepare for the autumn services and events

- our visiting clergy and organists, and the person God has chosen to join us as our Rector

Pray for our mission partners

This month we ask you to remember the work of all our mission partners, spreading the good news of Jesus across the world. More information about all our mission partners can be found on our website.

Please pray for:

- Catherine and Stephen McGoldrick, working for church growth in Central Africa

- Andrew and Samara Ellis, part of a church leadership team in Harare, Zimbabwe

- David and Marlene Fry, working with media in Austria reaching out to unreached peoples

- John and Gillian Robinson, working with the poorest in Bangkok, Thailand

- Kisiizi Hospital in Uganda, working for health and Christian outreach

- The Holy Land Institute for the Deaf in Jordan, working with deaf children throughout the country

- Ventures as the holidays, including the Pathfinder camp our young people attend, take place

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]).
