This week, please pray for:
- those nations torn apart by war and violence – especially children facing unspeakable loss and profound emotional and physical challenges. Unite us in pursuing a world where all can thrive in your peace, mercy, and abundance.
- our Children, Youth and Family Worker Bella, as she begins her ministry with us.
- all those affected by the wildfires, locally and around the country. As people continue to come to terms with their loss and devastation, we pray for comfort, strength and hope. We give thanks for all who worked tirelessly to keep people safe and pray for those involved in the work of recovery and rebuilding.
- the Diocese’s new Readers (also known as LLMs – Licensed Lay Ministers) as they are admitted and licensed by Bishop Hugh this coming Saturday in the Cathedral.
- all those who are currently unwell in body, mind or spirit, that they may know God's healing touch and be surrounded by his love. We give thanks for those who care for them: Rachel Quinlan, Harry Grove.
- those who have recently died and their families: Mildred Steele.
- those who live in Thicknall Rise, Hagley, and Munches Lane, Clent.
