🙏 Prayer Requests
We remember the sadness of Gaza. We also remember the Jewish, Christian and Muslim Communities, without prejudice, and the heartache of each in the land we call “The Holy Land”.
Our thoughts are with all who have known their synagogues and mosques attacked in the UK. Signs calling for the boycott of countries, and flying in cities, surely ought not to be tolerated by our leaders in local and national government.
While a Ceasefire has been obtained and further Peace negotiations take place, let us keep asking about and praying for Ukraine. Blessed are the Peacemakers, has been quoted, but let not lip service be paid. Let us call on all in positions of Leadership to work and pray for Peace on Earth. Let us give thought and prayer to the Humanity our children and children’s children are to know, and all those in the troubled areas of our world.
📞 Prayer Chain
A Telephone Prayer Chain is available to support in prayer any person/s in the church or community, or their family or friends whether living here or elsewhere, particularly if urgent prayer is required for matters such as illness, operations or other problems.
