Here we suggest focus areas for prayer, but please continue to pray for the work of our churches and missionary partners around the world (details on our website).

Church family news:

- Please continue to pray for those of our church family who are unwell, undergoing treatment, waiting for tests or procedures or grieving.

- Please pray for Audrey Morton. Although she has now returned home, she has since suffered a serious stroke. Christine and Phillip are with Bert.

- Please pray for those who are grieving for baby Ryder Duggan-Carr, and for Terry Thrussell.

Pray for our community

In our cycle of prayers, this weekend we ask you to include in your prayers:

- our village cafes and lunches, and all who offer opportunities for people to gather together

- Standon Sing and other groups organising community activities in our churches and elsewhere

- Social Services and others caring for those who feel marginalised or isolated

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- those who give time and effort to raise funds for our benefice churches, and for those who will attend the supper on Friday evening

- our cleaning teams and all who care for our churches

- our PCCs as they meet on Monday evening

Pray for our mission partners

This week we ask you, once again, to remember the work of John & Gillian Robinson, the recipients of our harvest appeal. John and Gillian run the Place of Grace in Bangkok, Thailand. More information about all our mission partners can be found on our website.

In addition to last week’s prayer points, please pray for:

- our Harvest Appeal to help them provide a safe house for boys to escape from abusive and violent family members

- sponsors for 10 new students

- 4 high school students, graduating this year, who are looking for scholarships to universities

- the staff at the Place of Grace who are always under pressure

If you are aware of anyone who would like our prayers, or who would like the church family to share in some news, good or bad, please let Caroline know ([email protected]).
