Prayer pointers was last updated in time for Sunday 26th October
This page offers prayer suggestions relating to our Benefice for personal use, or in public prayers of thanksgiving and intercession. Don't feel obliged to use all of it; and make sure to add matters from outside our small part of the church and world!
Please pass on prayer requests to Stephen, via email. Please do not request prayers for the health or wellbeing of named individuals in this public space.
The week to come
Please pray for half term: for all that it brings in terms of rest for many, childcare challenges for some, an opportunity for us to offer special youth work.
Please keep Chris in your prayers as he takes annual leave; Stephen and Charlotte as they grab a few days away, and Ruth as she prepares to take annual leave the following week.
We pray for Bishop Rob as he comes to visit us on Thursday 30th October, as part of his preparations for taking up the duties of Diocesan Bishop officially.
Good Neighbours
We pray for Debbie, our new Good Neighbour project coordinator, and for Sue, as they take the project live, and as we talk about it in our morning worship in Morland, Sunday 26th October.
Growing Younger
We are thankful for all that we have been able to achieve in the very long half term just gone.
We now turn our prayers to the success of our 'Half Term Madness' event in Maulds Meaburn, that it will be well supported. We are thankful for our team of volunteers.
Things to come
No, not the Book of Revelation (we think about that during Advent). As we look back with gratitude over the season of harvest, we pray for the busy time of Remembrance, Advent and Christmas. Much has already been done in terms of preparation and planning, but a great deal remains to be done. Pray that all our churches will reach out into their communities at this special time.
About prayer pointers ThePrayer pointers page was a suggestion made at one of our Saturday morning training sessions on 15th February 2025. Talking about leading interecessions, we identified the importance of praying, as a benefice, for all the different needs and activities of our communities, churches, PCCs and congregations. In order to do this effectively, we need to know what each other are doing.
