Intercessions

From Paul Snow

Let us pray together, giving thanks that we have redemption through the blood of Christ and the forgiveness of our trespasses,

Let us pray for all who minister to us, giving thanks for their ministry.

Today, we pray especially for pastoral assistants and for Boachie who is on retreat this weekend.

Lord, meet us in the silence … and hear our prayer.

We pray for the leaders of all nations of the world.

Help us, and our leaders, to find the right way of dealing with the changing Covid situation.

Lord, meet us in the silence … and hear our prayer.

Let us hold in our prayers the troubled or sick in body or mind.  May faith in God quell their fears and give them hope.

Lord, meet us in the silence … and hear our prayer.

We remember those who have died, especially those who have died alone or in tragic circumstances.

Let us also remember those whose year’s mind falls at this time including Erica Hunninger, Emma Marsh, Bertha Oliver, Margaret Edwards and Albert Davey.

Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord … and may thy light perpetual shine upon them.

May we, who set our hope in Christ, live our lives for the praise of his glory.

Merciful Father, accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Amen
