Welcome to our services of Holy Communion today,
Revd Simon Winn, Vicar, is presiding and preaching at our 8am and 10am services. Today we focus on how we take safeguarding seriously, to make our church a safer place for everyone. At the 10am service we will commission our safeguarding officers.
You can download the service sheet with details of readings, prayers, hymns and music for the 10am service here.
A Prayer for Peace in the Middle East
Compassionate and loving God, we stand with those who cry in anguish in Israel, Palestine and Lebanon.
With those who have lost their lives to violence, those who mourn, those who have been displaced, those who are held unjustly against their will, those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
We pray for an end to the fighting and violence.
We pray for the courage to speak up for peace, to challenge the hatred in our own hearts and minds, and to do all that we can to make for the peace that builds our common life as the nations of your world.
Lord, move our hearts.
A Prayer from Embrace the Middle East.
