Our prayer focus for the week beginning 24th July 2022:
• Tetbury Praying the Town: Cutwell
• The Parish of Long Newnton
• Those who count and bank the Sunday offerings and organise 2nd Sunday charity collections in Tetbury
• For staff & students as they begin the summer holidays – may they enjoy rest and freedom
• The Departed and those who mourn their loss, remembering especially Hilda McLaughlin (Funeral at St Marys’ Tetbury on Thursday 28th July at 2pm) and Ken Dryden (Funeral at Shipton Moyne on Tuesday 2nd August at 2pm). We give thanks for their lives, and pray for God’s comfort for their family and friends.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. Ps.130 V5
