Please pray.....


    Pray for peace in the war torn areas of the world.  Pray particularly for Russia and the Ukraine and for Israel and Gaza that a peaceful solution might be found to these conflicts.

     

    Pray for those who are struggling to cope both financially, emotionally and mentally during the cost of living crisis.  Pray particularly for those who are losing their jobs or who have lost their jobs recently and for whom the Christmas period will be very difficult.  We particularly think of the employees of Safestyle UK which has recently gone into administration.

     

    Continue to pray for the St Mary’s Chancel Improvement Scheme and for the successful outcome of the fundraising scheme.  Pray that this will enable St Marys to become much more fuel efficient, cut our carbon footprint and help with the sustainability of what we do as a church.

     

    Pray for those who are facing an undertain future through no fault of their own and for those who are particulalry suffering as a result of the financial crisis.. Pray that they may find a way forward out of their troubles.
