Fight the good fight

This Sunday, in addition to our main worship at 9:30am, we have a service of Mid-day Prayer at 12 noon. Because we shall be baptising little Isabel Arnold at this service, we need to ensure that our safe, distanced capacity in church is not exceeded.
Therefore, for THIS SERVICE ONLY, attendance must strictly be by prior booking. Please notify Sue Ayres by Saturday lunch time if you wish to attend this service. Please pray for Isabel and her family at this very special time.

Collect:  Almighty God, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you: pour your love into our hearts and draw us to yourself, and so bring us at last to your heavenly city where we shall see you face to face; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Michael Sanders and his family including Martin and Margaret, who mourn their loss.

Years Mind:  Angela Davis, Pat Wollheim, Alex Pym

We continue to pray especially for all nations tackling Coronavirus, for persecuted Christians abroad
and for the populations of East Africa & Pakistan whose crops are being devastated by locusts.

Intercessions:  Please continue to pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially - 
Hannah Buhler, Veronica Burgess, Louise Carter, Joan and Albert Clifford, Richard Ford, Les and Christina Hamstead, Fred Harrison, John Higinbotham, Michael Hudson, Sarah Jenks, David Kennard, Roy Leggett, Rita List, Mark and Heidi and family, Trevor and Lucy Mitchell, Annabel Moir, Adrian Morris, Richard & Julie, Jenny Scofield, Steven Stone, Alan and Tony Whitlock, Hudson Wiggins
