Our prayer focus for the week beginning 4th December 2022:
• Tetbury Praying the Town: Northlands Way
• The Parish of Beverston
• All who plan and volunteer at our social and fundraising events through the year – especially those who helped to organise the Christmas fair in Tetbury Market Hall on Saturday 3rd December
• The “Christingle” service at 4pm on Sunday 4th December in St Marys church – may it be a reminder to the families attending of the true 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: Sheila Cherreson (8/12). (“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 5 Elm Class with Ms Browning and Mrs Lee
• Praying for Lottie Price who is being baptised on Sunday 4th December at St Marys’ Tetbury and her parents and Godparents
• National issues: for wisdom in handling the ongoing or threatened strikes by postal workers, railway workers, nurses, ambulance drivers, teachers and lecturers – may the voices of those involved be heard with understanding
• World issues: for the people of Ukraine, suffering from lack of power, water and other essential commodities – may they know God’s protection and provision in their need
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27
