This week, please pray for:
- 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.
- all facing debt following Christmas and the holiday period and now receiving demands for payment – be it through credit cards, or loan companies – that they may find ways of managing their debt. Pray for local projects, and their staff and volunteers, supporting those in debt, for wisdom and sensitivity in their work.
- Finley Bending who is to be baptised today at St John’s, and Jasper Thomas who is to be baptised next Sunday at St Leonard’s, their parents and godparents.
- those who are unwell: Anthony Bradbury.
- those who have recently died and their families: Keith Marsh, Christopher Eades.
- those who live in Kidderminster Road, Hagley, and Woodman Lane, Clent.
