Please also pray for...
the sick and the bereaved
those married in St John's this month
our mission partners: Harambee Partnership in Uganda and TWR in the UK
for struggling families:
- that schools would be able to serve those pupils and their families well, who may be struggling for whatever reason
- that our schools would be safe places, where pupils can ask for and receive the help that they need
- that those children who are most vulnerable would receive love and support that is consistent with Biblical teaching
- that Christian teachers and members of staff would be bold in their witness to colleagues, pupils and their families and that God would be their strength in every situation.
