• 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 interviews on 28 November and all involved in the process.
• Safeguarding Sunday, when we give thanks and recommit ourselves to making our churches safe places for all; to reflect on our safeguarding journey and highlight all the good work that is being done to create safer places. It’s also a time to honour the dedication of parish safeguarding officers and volunteers, to pray for those affected by abuse or harm, and to reaffirm our shared responsibility to protect the vulnerable in our communities. Benefice Safeguarding Officers- Jenny Moulder and Natalie Baker
• Halson Freeman-Smith who is to be baptised today at St John’s, his parents and godparents.
