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 all who grieve, especially the family and friends of Maurice Debnam and Christopher Saggers.

- We have heard that Ronnie, who has attended our service for many years from Libury Hall, has died. Please pray for all who grieve for him.

Pray for our community

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

- all who are counting the cost of Christmas and wondering how to make ends meet in January

- all who dread the cold, dark days of January, or who struggle to keep their homes warm

- the staff and pupils at our schools, returning this week

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- those who attend our midweek services and Bible studies, and those who lead them

- our Little Angels team, Cate as she returns, sharing this ministry for now with Flo, and all who attend

- all who are shouldering more work during the vacancy, and those who are covering church warden duties at All Saints; pray that a CW will step forward

- the person God has chosen to be our Rector, that he or she will see the advert and hear God’s call

Pray for our mission partners

We are departing from our cycle of prayers for the work of our mission partners this week, to request prayer for Rog and Jane Senior. Rog and Jane worked in overseas mission for many years, and have enduring links with some of the All Saints folk. More information about our partners can be found on our website.

- Rog and Jane wrote in December of an eventful year, with the safe arrival of a welcome grandson, and more good news of the rest of the family

- having several medical issues between them, they have cut back on some activities

- Rog continues to teach preaching and also to preach

- they both continue in pastoring care

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]).
