May & June 2025
Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests.
Ephesians 6.18
Let us give praise and thanks to God for all the ways He has blessed us as a church in this place.
Pray for all who will be part of the Nominating
Committee appointed to seek a new minister.
Continue to remember all serving on the Session and Working Groups.
As the Easter Holiday Club (JAM) had to be cancelled
let us pray that all the work planned may be used at a
later date.
Bring to mind those known to ourselves going through illness or hard times. May they know God’s presence, help and support.
Among the global challenges we face is the impact of
Artificial Intelligence. While there are great benefits to
future health care, there are the risks of misunderstanding and conflict. Robotic help is here to
stay but how much more valuable is the interaction we all have with real people whose friendship and concern we value.
Another challenge on which all have a view is the
Assisted Dying Bill. Pray for wisdom for all who take a
decision on this in parliament. Pray for more resources to be put into palliative care. Let us give thanks for all carers who show warmth, care
and compassion as people come to end of life.
Loving Father God, look with mercy on all suffering
people in Myanmar, Ukraine and Gaza. Keep safe all
who risk their lives to save desperate people. May
essential aid reach those who suffer. May aid agencies reach difficult places. May those in power seek your will and a just settlement of disagreements.
Dear God,
Give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Prayer @ Ten takes place each Sunday in the Meeting
Room. All welcome
