• those nations torn apart by war and violence – especially children facing unspeakable loss and profound emotional and physical challenges. Unite us in pursuing a world where all can thrive in your peace, mercy, and abundance.
• the ongoing process of the appointment of our children and youth worker. The advert is on the Diocese of Worcester website as well as several employment websites. Please pray for the shortlisting meeting on 13 November and the interview day on 28 November and all involved in the process. 
• our churches as they work to appropriately sustain their life and ministry, with enough volunteers to take on different roles, funds to cover costs and a building which supports mission and ministry.
• those who are unwell: Anthony Bradbury.
• those who have recently died and their families: baby Tommy Innes, Pauline Nock, Michael Hingley, Norma Kirke, Christine Brettle, Anne Harvey, Tim Ellesmore, Derek Aldridge.
• those who live in Birch Dale, Hagley, and Calcot Hill, Clent.
