Please pray.....
The Evangelist Rev J John has said - if we pray, ‘coincidences’ happen, but if we don’t (pray) then they don’t! Therefore, lets pray for the church and for the world and lets thank God for his goodness.
We pray for those who have been called to minister to us here in the Parish. Continue to pray for John and Helen, for Anne, Steph and Sonia, for our churchwardens, Courtney and Joan and for all those who do the jobs that we don’t think about …. But they just happen.
Pray for those in our congregation or those we know who are suffering in body, mind or spirit. We give thanks especially for Andy’s continued recovery. Pray for Joan and for William and for anyone else that we know who are facing surgery over the next few weeks.
Pray for the success of the forthcoming social events and Christmas Services - that they will provide a time of friendship and fellowship.
Pray for the Remembrance Sunday events and for the Act of Remembrance at the Wombwell Cenotaph and Jump War Memorial - that people affected as a result of war and conflict may find peace. Also continue to pray for the war torn areas of the world and for peaceful solutions to be found.
