Prayer Diary - 22nd April 2018
The Collect for today - Third Sunday after Easter:
Almighty God, you show the light of your truth to those who are in error so that they may return into the way of righteousness: grant to all who are admitted into the fellowship of Christ's religion that they may reject everything that is contrary to their profession and follow whatever is in agreement with it, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Please pray for...
the sick and the bereaved:
our mission partners: Olivia Rigby (UCCF in the Midlands) & Alex Lucas (UCCF in London).
our local schools:
- Cloughwood Academy & Greenbank School, and other schools which members of the church are involved in.
- Hartford Church of England High School.
- For Christian teachers to show the love of Jesus in their lessons and in their presence around school.
