Lord, as many in our nation and town begin to prepare their homes for the celebration of Christmas, we pray for those who do not understand that Christmas is about the greatest gift of all: the birth of Jesus, the Son of God. We ask Your blessing upon all who live in Nicholson Square, that their Christmas preparations may remind them of love shared with family and friends. We pray for those who are on their own and others who feel unloved. In the coming weeks may each person in this street be reminded they are loved by God and important to Him. Amen
We pray for all who live on this street, asking God's blessing for each person in their joys, challenges and sorrows of life. May they be strengthened and supported through difficulties and have friends to share the good things in life with.May God help us at St. Andrew's to be good neighbours to all who live and walk along this street. Amen.

Surround them with your loving presence and blessings. Amen.
As we continue our focus on prayer, in November we will be encouraging the use of 'trypraying' resources available to those who worship with us, people who use the facilities here and to the wider community. The little booklet we have available gives some ideas of about how to pray and has some encouraging stories from people who tried praying and the difference it made in their lives.Come and help yourself to the free material we have available to help you to 'try praying'.
