Welcome and thank you to Rev Stephen Caple for presiding this morning.
Year's Mind: Margaret Allen, Vic Rickards and Christopher Futcher.
Intercessions: Please pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially - Vanessa Crocker, Dilys Dunkin, Rob Glew, Helen Cymerman, Jenny Hudson, Ron Leggett, Keith Littlejohn, Tim Laker, 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 desperate situation in Ukraine, Gaza and Israel, 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 and political unrest.
..........................................................
Loving God, as we journey together through this period of vacancy, let us look to the journey of our Patron, St Mary Magdalene, for inspiration:
As she and the other disciples walked alongside Christ, give us joy in each other, as we share responsibility for our church and our community and may the gift of interregnum be a period of deeper love and fellowship.
As she stood at the foot of the Cross give us courage to face our future and embrace the unknown.
As she waited and watched by the Tomb give us patience to wait and wisdom to live and trust in the waiting.
As she witnessed Christ in the stillness of early morning grant that we may witness his presence with us at all times and let us look forward to rejoicing in that presence with our new Vicar. Amen
