Today we are invited to pray along the theme PRAYFOR.

Father God
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
as we pray for
our friends and family
our neighbours and colleagues
our land and our world
and for those we will share today with.
Oh hear our cry and bless those we name before you
In Jesus’ name
Amen
