Prayer focus for the week beginning 13th August 2023:
Before you pray, give thanks to God that He is a God of compassion:
• Tetbury Praying the Town: Cheviot Close, Suffolk Close & Shepherds Mead
• The Parish of Beverston
• ‘Tiggywinkles’ who launder the church linen
• 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.
• Praying for Max Hutchison and Bethany Howlett who are getting married in St Marys’ Tetbury on Saturday 19th August.
• Local issues: for visitors to our town and local area, that they may feel welcome and enjoy all that Tetbury has to offer
• National issues: that ongoing strikes by doctors, consultants, railway unions etc may be fairly and speedily resolved
• World issues: for all who are refugees, driven from their homes by violence, by the effects of climate change causing more drought or flooding, or the desire to escape permanent poverty and build a better life for themselves and their children
Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth! Ps.46:10
Are you, or someone you know, in need of prayer? You are welcome to hang your prayer request on the prayer tree in the prayer corner at the front of St Marys’ church
