Prayer considerations for July

Through various events to open people's hearts to bring Jesus into their lives, we bring:

*St James' congregation and all in the village

*All those who are ill or bereaved

*Prayers for Nicola (our PCC secretary) and her family, as they process the passing of her father; 5 months after the passing of her mother.

*Those with financial difficulties

*Our new Rector; of the Ely Benefice Villages; The Revd Christopher Hollingshurst, and his wife Kathy

*Ana, our CompassionUK child, and her family

*Our Parliament to make the right decisions about our environment; local, nationwide and worldwide

*Our new Bishop of Ely, Dame Sarah Mullaly

*Pope Leo XIIII and the Catholic Church

*Brexit-Northern Ireland Agreement is once again being threatened

*World Leaders in general to make the right decisions, of which there are so many to be addressed, in particular, the new challenges presented by US President Donald Trump, especially in the Middle East and in Ukraine.

*The reunion of children taken from Ukraine by Russia to their families, and those who have lost loved ones in these terrible conditions.

* Our local Parish Council, and that our councillors will take forward the wishes of the village.
