Prayers of Love and Faith

The Church of England has approved these prayers in 2023 for use within a normal weekday or Sunday service, stating in the introduction that:

"The Prayers of Love and Faith are offered as resources in praying with and for a same-sex couple who love one another and who wish to give thanks for and mark that love in faith before God. To celebrate in God’s presence the commitment two people have made to each other is an occasion for rejoicing. 

The texts are offered to express thanksgiving and hope, with prayer that those who are dedicating their life together to God may grow in faith, love and service as God’s blessing rests upon them."

Stogumber PCC with the Rector Nicky have unanimously welcomed the Prayers and are happy for them to used at St Mary's Stogumber.
