Intercessions: Please pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially - Tom Crawford, Dilys Dunkin, Sandra Gibson, Helen, Michael Hudson, Rita List, Rose Luce, Annabel Moir, Adrian Morris, Peta Pratt, Paul Riseley, Jenny and Peter Scofield, Hudson Wiggins and all those carers locally who quietly carry out their duties with little support or respite available at this time.
We pray for the many thousands of people affected by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria; for those who have been rescued, for the souls of those who have died and for the families suffering in their loss. Pray also for other parts of the world devastated by nature.
Our prayers continue for the continuing desperate situation in Ukraine, a year on; also Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Southern Madagascar and all countries of the world who are suffering as a result of war, famine, drought, persecution, political unrest and continued Coronavirus outbreaks.
