Intercessions:  Please pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially - Dilys Dunkin, Helen Cymerman, Nellie Lucas, Adrian Morris, Jean Phillips, Susan Reardon and Janet and Hugh Quan.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Peta Pratt who has died recently. Remember her family in your prayers.

Our prayers continue for the desperate situation in Ukraine, Gaza and Israel, Lebanon and Syria 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.
