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:

- We have received another newsletter from John and Basma, and more photos. Peter A has kindly agreed to take on the distribution to those of you who would like to read these letters. Please contact him if you would like him to send it to you.

- Please continue to pray for those of our church family, including Steve L, who are unwell, are undergoing treatment, have had operations, or are waiting for tests or procedures.

- Please pray for those who are grieving, including for Audrey Morton.

Pray for our community

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

- those individuals and businesses affected by the storms this week

- our school staff and pupils as they rest in half term

- those who find that the shorter days after the change of the clocks affect their wellbeing

Pray for our outreach, our service and our churches

This week we ask you to include in your prayers:

- the group who lead the children’s and youth work as we plan for the next half term and Christmas

- our benefice finance officers and committee as they meet this week

- those who will come next week to our service of memories, and all for whom we have conducted funerals recently or long ago

- this round of recruitment, and for the person God will send to be our Rector

Pray for our mission partners

This week we ask you to remember the work of all our mission partners, spreading the good news of Jesus across the world. More information about all our mission partners can be found on our website.

Please pray for:

- Catherine and Stephen McGoldrick, working for church growth in Central Africa

- Andrew and Samara Ellis, part of a church leadership team in Harare, Zimbabwe

- David and Marlene Fry, working with media in Austria reaching out to unreached peoples

- John and Gillian Robinson, working with the poorest in Bangkok, Thailand
