PEWSHEET 26 July
Eighth Sunday after Trinity
A very warm welcome to visitors today.
Today
10.30 am Holy Communion at St Saviour’s
10.30 am Holy Communion at St Leonard’s
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.
- those for whom the holidays can be difficult. The loss of routine, increased pressures at home, loneliness, financial worries or concerns about safety can make the summer months particularly challenging.
- teachers, teaching assistants, administrators, lunchtime supervisors, governors and all who help schools to flourish.
- on World Conservation Day, help us cherish and protect God’s creation. Give us wisdom to live sustainably, courage to act responsibly.
- all those who are currently unwell in body, mind or spirit, that they may know God's healing touch and be surrounded by his love. We give thanks for those who care for them: Rachel Quinlan, Harry Grove, David Anderson.
- those who have recently died and their families: Marie Storr, Richard Mounsey.
- those who live in Station Road, Hagley, and Shut Mill Lane, Clent.
