Prayer Card for March 2023

‘Be still and know that I am God’ PS 46 v 10

 

Father God, I pray that you will help me to come closer to you, deepen my faith and be enriched in Lent ready to do your will.  Amen

 

Prayers for both our Church families

• Give thanks for the completion of Holy Trinity’s heating system and that the church is warm and will be in use again.

• Give thanks that work on the ramp to the main door at All Saints is hopefully to be started and completed this month.

• For all those participating in the Lent house groups and also those using the “That you may know the truth” diocesan lent booklets that they find answers, hope and inspiration to encourage others in faith.

​​

Prayers for Our Community & Schools

• For those you know in need of healing peace and God’s Love whether it is through bereavement or through a short or long term illness in body, mind or spirit.

• For all the staff, governors and pupils in each of our schools and especially for those children who may not have been allocated their first choice of secondary school for next September.

• For all the opportunities for fellowship and growth coming from the planned events of all kinds within both churches and also community venues for the coming year.

 

Prayers for the “Wider World”

• For The Turkish and Syrian families who are suffering from the recent devastating earthquakes and for those striving to bring them comfort and aid to rebuild their lives.
