Tuesday

Wednesday
We give thanks for the skills of those involved in complex logistical exercises.
We pray for all who have to work out what to do next with limited information, those who have to make major decisions and carry them out.
Thursday
We give thanks for those who work behind the scenes to look after the health and well being of others.
We pray for those who need constant care and help, for those whose needs are challenging and for the carers who struggle to keep up the help needed in difficult conditions.
Friday
We give thanks for all who grow, supply and distribute our food, for all who work in utilities and manufacturing industries.
We pray for those who work hard under challenging conditions and for those who enable deliveries to reach those who need them most at this time.
Saturday
We give thanks for rest and relaxation, for opportunities to get out for exercise and fresh air and a change of environment.
We pray for those who are unable to get out and about during isolation, those whose opportunities for rest and relaxation are limited and those who have constant demands on their time and find no rest.
