Please pray for Zoe Lee, Andy Brooks and Mark Beresford as they are Confirmed this Sunday morning by Bishop Luke.

Please pray for Bishop Luke and for all parishes and clergy under his care.

We pray for the Diocese of Jerusalem, including the restoring of medical facilities and the buildings of the Al Ahli Anglican Hospital in Gaza.

Please pray for those in need, and especially Paul Jones, Glynis Reynolds, Yvonne Young, Jessica O’Sullivan, Lindsay Wheeler, Martyn Nash, Fran, Ellie Tomlinson, David Green, Norman Farrington and Fr Derek Mottershead.
