Pause to Pray with Others
On this particular Thursday..as the nation journeys through this further stage of Lockdown.. you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
We are now pausing to pray at 6pm each day instead of 5pm as a result of the fresh Call to Prayer yesterday across the nation and the world from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus
For family and friends and neighbours
For all community nurses in our villages and towns and cities at this time
For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation
For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making
