Pause to Pray for Others

On this Wednesday…as the nation and the world still wrestles with the virus and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern are before us in our nation and our world … 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 continue to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for all those in need on our Church Prayer List at this time – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time

For family and friends and neighbours

For the members of the Royal Family – as we name them before God

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time
