Prayer
At this time, as we are unable to be in church and use the Prayer tree, Healing Prayer and Prayer Space, we have been exploring how we might continue to offer prayer in these difficult times.
The Prayer Team has been continuing to pray for all of the congregation and for the wardens, Susan and Nicky. If you wish us to pray for you or anyone else then please send your prayer to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
. All your prayer requests will be treated as confidential. We have used a separate email address so that only the Prayer Team wil read the emails. Please note that we will not be replying to individual emails. The Prayer Team will pray for your request over the next few weeks.
THIRD SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
THE FEAST OF ST PETER
Collect
Almighty God, who inspired your apostle Saint Peter
to confess Jesus as Christ and Son of the living God:
build up your Church upon this rock, that in unity and peace it may proclaim
one truth and follow one Lord,
your Son our Saviour Christ, who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
A Prayer in time of Coronavirus
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
God of Compassion,
Be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation.
In their lonliness, be their consolation;
in their anxiety, be their hope;
in their darkness, be their light;
through Him who suffered alone on the cross,
but reigns with you in glory,
Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.

By lighting a virtual candle you are making space to pray. You can pray for yourself, for a loved one or for a situation.Whatever is going on, make space to pray in your life.
