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:

- Audrey, the wife of Bert, a former Rector of The Mundens & Sacombe, has had a period of ill health, and plans are in hand to return her from hospital with suitable help at home. Anyone wanting more information should contact Carole or Peter. Please pray for Audrey and Bert.

- Jacky is still incapacitated by her recent fall. Please pray for her.

- Lizzy hopes to be well enough to return to school this week. Please continue to pray for her.

- Others of our church family members are unwell, undergoing treatment, waiting for tests or procedures or grieving. Please pray for them.

Pray for our community

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

- those who are finding it difficult to keep hydrated in this prolonged heatwave

- our emergency services personnel, responding to numerous calls to heat-related incidents

- those finding their tempers shortened by lack of sleep and excess of heat

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- both of our schools, as the end of term approaches, and the leavers as they move on

- those who can’t get to church at the moment, and our pastoral team as they maintain contact

- the vacancy team as it meets this week
