Year's Mind: Jim Lorimer

Intercessions:  Please continue to pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially -  

Albert and Joan Clifford, Fred Harrison, John Higginbotham, Michael Hudson,  Judith Kendra, David Kennard, Rita List, Annabel Moir, David Robins, Jenny Scofield, Steven Stone, Mike Vidler, Hudson Wiggins and all those carers locally who quietly carry out their duties with little support or respite available at this time.

Our prayers especially for Afghanistan - for those who suffered and died in the bomb attack, those who  will be unable to leave the country who live in terror, that those entitled to be air-lifted out may do so in relative safety and for those who will be forced to find a way out on foot. All will suffer arduous journeys.

We also 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.

We also welcome gift vouchers or financial donations that can be directed at supporting the families most in need and as usual, items can be left in the baskets either in Church or the Eight Bells. For more information check the FSW website or contact Clairegeorge@bolney.plus.com
