Pause to Pray for Others

On this Sunday in October…as the nation and the world still wrestles with new cases and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern… you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time

For family and friends and neighbours

For the Church in our world at this time – to be salt and light

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time of decision making as COP26 approaches

Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world!

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is THY KINGDOM COME – as we are encouraged to seek first the Kingdom of God in our lives, in our community, in our nation, in this world.
