Here we suggest focus areas for prayer, but please continue to pray for the work of our churches and missionary partners around the world (details on our website).

Church family news:

- Please pray for all who are in pain, unwell or just a bit under the weather.

- Pray for all who grieve, especially the family and friends of Julie Williams and Jim King.

Pray for our community

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

- our local health care professionals, as the winter illnesses continue to affect us

- our local hospices as they struggle to fund the vital care they provide for patients and families

- all who are involved in caring for the families of those who are beyond the care of the doctors

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- give thanks that Luke and Lizzy (from Red Balloon) have agreed to lead our Holiday Bible Club again in August

- our parish representatives, as we wait to see what applications there are for our Rector

- the person God is calling to come and serve him in this benefice and community

Pray for our mission partners

In our cycle of prayers for our mission partners, this week we ask you to pray for the work of Kisiizi Hospital in Uganda. The hospital works for health and Christian outreach. More information about our partners can be found on our website.

Give thanks that:

- they have received an award for an outstanding contribution to accelerating AI in healthcare in Africa and Smart Hospital Technologies

- they have received the gift of a new anaesthesia machine from the friends of Kisiizi

- Worldshine Ministries has launched a new maternity service, marking an important milestone in expanding access to maternal healthcare in the community

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]).
