Pray for our community

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

- those who will be travelling during the school holidays, for safe and peaceful journeys

- those walking or picnicking in the countryside, that nothing will be left that could start a fire

- those whose businesses will struggle due to the hosepipe ban now in force in our area

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- our benefice choir and the choir of Little Munden School, as they support our worship this weekend

- those considering taking part in the Christianity Explored course we plan to run in the autumn

- the café helpers as they rest for the next few weeks

Pray for our mission partners

In our cycle of prayers for our mission partners, this week we ask you to pray for the work of David & Marlene Fry in Austria. David works for Mediaworks, part of OM East & Marlene volunteers at Oasis where she teaches German to refugees. More information about our partners can be found on our website.

Please pray for:

- preparations for the Mediaworks team retreat in September

- financial support for all team members

- the plans to join a charitable trust to support projects in challenging areas

- discernment in assessing potential candidates to join the Mediaworks team

- the process of appointing the next leader of Mediaworks to replace David when he retires next year

- the completion of updates to a Bible translation following an official change to the writing system of the language

- their church’s Space themed kid’s week from 20th July
