FOR OUR PRAYERS:

We pray for our Summer Fete next Saturday and for all who are working hard to make it a success. We also pray for our Flower Festival and Church Open Days in September, giving thanks for the gifts and skills of our flower arrangers and the time they give to enhance our church life in this way. We also pray for and give thanks for those who are knitting poppies for use later in the year, and for the Knit and Natter groups that have formed combining crafts with fellowship. We pray for those preparing to be ordained this Petertide, especially Fr Ben Almond to be ordained Priest by +Luke on 28th June.

We pray for those in need, and especially Glynis Reynolds, Yvonne Young, Lindsay Wheeler, David Green, Norman Farrington, Phil and Marion, Joe, Keira, Freya, Isaac, Lexie Nicholson, Sarah, Janet and Ralph Austin. We pray for the recently departed. We remember those who have faithfully served God in this Church in previous generations, and we pray for those whose year’s mind occurs this week: Helen Atkinson, Betty Stevens, Joyce Worsfold.
