Here we suggest focus areas for prayer, but please continue to pray for the work of our churches and missionary partners around the world (at www.achurchnearyou.com/church/7825/page/77358/view).

Church family news:

- Please pray for all who are grieving, particularly for the family and friends of Bryan Algar.

- No-one else has asked specifically for prayer this week, though we know that some members of our church family are unwell, and those for whom we have been praying recently are still in need of our prayers. Please don’t forget them just because their names are not listed.

- Each week, there are people we know who are unwell but who prefer not to be named here. God knows who they are; please pray for them all.

Pray for our community

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

- all who struggle in this weather, that they will stay well and hydrated

- those who must work outdoors, with little respite from the heat

- all who are experiencing a sense of relief that their PIPs will not, after all, be removed

- this year’s day of prayer for the Emergency Services, run by the National Christian Police Association, was on Thursday. There was a ceremony at Police HQ in Herts and they ask us to pray for all of the emergency services particularly at this time

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- our benefice group for world mission, as they keep in touch with our missionary partners and encourage us all to support them through prayer

- our friends and neighbours outside the immediate church family who sometimes come to us, asking for our prayers, that we will be able to help them find a deeper personal relationship with Jesus

- our friends at Libury Hall, and the team who lead and facilitate services there

Pray for our mission partners

This week, we ask for your prayers for the CPAS Ventures holidays this summer. CPAS Ventures run just over 50 Christian holidays for children aged 8-18. Orwell 3 is the 11-14 holiday which Lizzy F helps to lead, and which our young people attend. More information about our partners can be found on our website.

- Praise God for the time the leaders spent together this weekend, planning and training

- Pray for the last few leaders who need to have DBS checks and references finalised, that these would be back in time for the holiday

- Pray that God would be working in the hearts of all those who are going to be there in the summer

If you are aware of anyone who would like our prayers, or who would like the church family to share in some news, good or bad, please let Caroline know.
