Bev's funeral will take place in church at 1pm on Friday 6th October.
Intercessions: Please pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially - Tom Crawford, Dilys Dunkin, Linda Foster, Sandra Gibson, Helen, Michael Hudson, Keith Littlejohn, Tim Laker, Rose Luce, Annabel Moir, Adrian Morris, Peta Pratt, Paul Riseley, Jenny and Peter Scofield, Craig, Beth and William and Hudson Wiggins and all those carers locally who quietly carry out their duties with little support or respite available at this time.
Our prayers continue for the continuing desperate situation in Ukraine, and for those trapped in Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, 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.
We particularly pray for those severely affected by earthquake and floods in Morocco and Libya that help may come quickly and efficiently with those in authority allowing access. Remember those many thousands who have died as a result and their families as they search and mourn.
