Prayer focus for the week beginning 11th December 2022
• Tetbury Praying the Town: Old Brewery Lane and Warns Court
• The Parish of Long Newnton; also the carol singing around Shipton Moyne and in the Tetbury Goods Shed
• “The Christingle” makers and “Posada” organiser and hosts – may both events help families to focus on the central meaning of Christmas
• The Departed and those who mourn their loss. We give thanks for their lives, and pray for God’s comfort for their family and friends.
• Year’s Mind: Sydney Mosdell (19/12). (“Year’s Mind” is to mark the first anniversary of a death –often a difficult time for family and friends).
• Praying for St Mary’s School: Year 6 Rowan Class with Mr Godfrey and Mrs Eke
• Praying for Artemis Wright who is being baptised on Sunday 18th December at St John the Baptist, Shipton Moyne and her parents and Godparents
• Praying for George Gemmell and Roseanne Farquhar who are getting married on Saturday 17th December at St Marys’ Tetbury
• National issues: for shopkeepers and suppliers as they cope with the extra demands of Christmas shoppers. May local shops especially be well supported by customers.
• World issues: for the current unrest in China, that the current rigid Covid restrictions may be lifted and residents enjoy their rightful freedom
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27
