Hello everyone,
Prayer Letter 31st May 2026.
The next meeting of the prayer group will be on Wednesday, 3rd June, 2026 at the back of the sanctuary at 9.45 am. Please come along before the midweek service. We would be delighted for you to pray along with us, even if silently.
Give thanks for our minister Keith and all his work in Shetland for the past two years. Give thanks for our Trinity Sunday service this morning conducted by the Rev. Susan Sutherland and for the caring fellowship in our tea and coffee time after the service. Give thanks for our Prayer Tree and those who find comfort in expressing their feelings through it, for peace and comfort, for relatives and for a baby. These have been recent prayers received.
Let us remember all those in our Church family who have suffered bereavement recently, those who have been diagnosed with serious illness and those who have had to go into Care Homes. Continue to remember Alison and Craigie in their concern for Craigie’s health problems. Please pray for two ladies facing imminent intensive treatment for cancer. Let us pray for the teachers and children in Young Church, that our teaching will be meaningful to these young ones and that it will remain with them and be relevant to them as they go through their lives.
Let us extend our prayers beyond our immediate surroundings, remembering those whose everyday lives are beset by suffering and anxiety due to poverty, conflict and war. Please remember negotiations going on to end wars and pray for just settlements and for wisdom and restraint for those who are most closely involved in talks. Pray that the current Ebola outbreaks will be contained and for new treatments to be successfully developed.
The healthcare chaplain at ARI asks us this week to pray for the Emergency Medical Zone, including A&E, for Moray including Dr Gray’s Hospital and for the Listening Service.
Thank you for being part of this Prayer Group
Best Wishes to all.

It's Trinity Sunday tomorrow.
Keith says" I came across this image of the Trinity on Substack. The artist describes the three hands briefly. I take them as: the pierced hand of Christ on the left, held in the sign of Benediction - Blessings extended. The hand of The Father at the top is both extending outwardly (giving) but reaching too (welcoming). The Spirit hand reaches out of that holy circle - inviting and gifting from the centre of God to creation and to living things"

We are enjoying seeing the updates on the sunflowers that we planted in spring! As we see them reaching for the sun, we are reminded that our faith encourages us to keep growing, trusting that God's love will guide us, sustain us and help us flourish 🌻🌻🌻

Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to fill us all with God‘s love and to motivate us in all our words and actions. Give thanks for the work of the General Assembly as it helps us to focus on the future work of the Church as well as meditating on its past role in our society.

Please remember all those who have been recently bereaved. Jenny‘s funeral will take place tomorrow and a thanksgiving service for her life on Friday, both in Edinburgh. Please pray for all those receiving treatment for cancer, for all those in pain, waiting for diagnosis or admission to hospital and for those concerned about family or friends.
Pray for the containment of the recent Ebola Outbreak and for the successful outcome of attempts to treat the disease. Remember families who have lost loved ones in the mining disaster in China.

Remember people living in countries where life is fragile, due to poverty, disease or war. Pray for aid organisations and their work, for ongoing negotiations for peace in Iran and for peace in Ukraine.
The Healthcare chaplain in ARI asks us to pray this week for the Surgical Zone in the hospital as well as for the Children’s Hospital and for all Community hospitals.
Keep praying!
