Pause to Pray for Others

On this Sunday in July…as we step into this paricular week….as the nation continues to slowly journey forward out of Lockdown and the world wrestles with new cases and vaccine supplies.. 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

For family and friends and neighbours

For God’s Church across the world

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making

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 as we pray for 5 people we know to meet with Jesus!

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is ADORE – as we pause to offer our prayers of adoration and worship and praise to the living and true God – for who He is!

O Come let us adore Him – Christ the Lord!
