Dear Friends,
Greetings from a still-sunny Canterbury. I trust August has given spaces for rest and deeper breathing, whatever you’ve been up to.
I have great pleasure in attaching the Season of Creation Prayer Card: an image and some words which are offered to help you and your congregations to pray through this next part of the Church year.
Please do pass this on to anyone in your church who leads Intercessions or prayer groups, and please do feel free to use it in any way you find helpful in gathered worship or personal prayer.
If you have people in your congregations who prefer not to access online content, please consider printing this out and giving it to them in hard-copy format.
I attach several different versions of the card, to make sharing and using it as easy as possible.
- The pdf version
- The Word version
- An image version (png)
- Primrose’s image as a separate jpg, should you wish to use it separately from the card. If you do, please always include her Artist Credit:
‘Streams in the desert by Primrose Northrop’
On the subject of my colleague primrose, I also pass on a request from her:
Many of you will know that she compiles our monthly Diocesan Prayer Calendar, and she is looking for people who might be willing to write prayers. This would be in addition to the prayers you already write for us when we come to praying for your parish/benefice.
She’s looking to create a list of people she can approach to ask for prayers on various different topics – people who enjoy the task of creating written prayers.
If that’s not you, please feel free to ignore this request, but if you do enjoy writing prayers and would be willing to help, even just once a year, please email Primrose at:
May the God who makes water flow in desert places bless you with the refreshing your soul needs, as we step over into the Autumn.
