Pray for our community

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

- all who remember their mothers this weekend with joy, with sadness or with grief

- adoptive and foster parents, and all who care for children who can’t be with their birth families

- those who have lost a child

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- our preparations for the many services which will happen over the next few weeks

- our bell ringers, who call us to worship each week, and for the preparations to ring again at Standon

- those who look after our churchyards, as the spring work begins

Pray for our mission partners

In our cycle of prayers for our mission partners, this week we ask you to remember the work of John & Gillian Robinson. John and Gillian work with children at the Place of Grace in Bangkok, Thailand. More information about our partners can be found on our website.

Please pray for:

- My Father's House which provides a safe place for girls to live. They rely on one-off donations every month to fund this

- the Robinson’s vision for a new building, with a purpose built school, and one storey providing safe accommodation for boys

- the boys who live in abusive and violent situations with parents or grandparents

- wisdom about renting somewhere for these boys until the Robinson’s vision is realised

- a 9 year old girl who has been studying at the school for 3 years; her grandma and boyfriend have disappeared with her and no-one knows if she is safe

- the staff at the Place of Grace who are all under pressure with so many children in crisis

Please also continue to pray for the situation in the Middle East, as the conflict spreads and many more people are fearful and in danger. Remember the Gazan people, slipped from the headlines but still suffering.

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 ([email protected]).
