PRAYER LIST for the week beginning 7th June.

This week is we are asked to think carefully about faith and generosity.St Paul says this; “Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance,..so that you may share abundantly in every good work.”

Please pray for our Church here, and for Christ’s Church throughout the world, that our living and giving will be with generous hearts.Pray that each of us will be open to the promptings of the Spirit and seek to develop and use the gifts which He bestows on us to use in service to the Body of Christ. Pray that we will share our resources with joy, thanking God for our abundance.

Please pray especially that we will do all we can to meet the practical needs of our fellow Christians in South Rwenzori with their pleas for help with providing facilities which we take for granted.
Pray for the work of Christian agencies in this country and abroad, seeking to meet the basic needs of the victims of society in so many places. Pray for prayerful generosity with both money and time and skills.

Please pray for those caught up in the outbreak of Ebola and for all who are providing help and aid. Continue to pray for peaceful resolution of the wars and acts of terrorism which devastate the lives of innocent people, powerless to prevent the destruction of all they hold dear.

Please pray for our parish here and our neighbouring parishes, as we prepare for our new priest, Ann, to join us. Pray for all who minister to us and for all the small acts of service given quietly which enhance our community life. Pray that we will take time to reflect thankfully on the many ways that we are blessed by others and also think on our own callings.

Please pray for any who are ill or facing difficult circumstances. Pray that they will be helped in appropriate ways and find the strength to deal with the problems confronting them. Pray for the medical services and for all who have caring roles. Pray that they will be given the skills they need and the love and patience to help and guide those in their care.

Please pray for those mourning the loss of someone close to them. Pray that they will find the presence of Christ alongside them.

PRAYER LIST for the week beginning 10th May

Eastertide continues and this week we remember the work of Christian Aid as well. Some words from Saint Peter’s letter might help our reflections; “All of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.”

In particular, they ask for prayers for mothers struggling to feed their families in crowded urban environments in Kenya.

PRAYER LIST for the week beginning 3rd May

Eastertide continues and we hear familiar words from Jesus as He teaches His disciples. He says “I am the way, the truth and the life. Noone comes to the Father except through me.” Thomas A Kempis reflects on this; “Without the way there is no progress, without the truth there is no knowing, without the life there is no living. I am the way you must follow, the truth you must believe, the life for which you must hope.”

Please pray that in our own reflections and prayers we will listen to
Our Lord, receive His assurances, allow Him to comfort our troubled hearts and remember His constant presence with us. Pray for our Christian growth, both for ourselves and for our church here. Pray for our leaders, for Tom on his travels, for Jane as she shoulders a heavy burden, for Ann as she prepares to join us, and for all who minister to us and help us.
