A prayer for all those affected by coronavirus

Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Benefice Prayer Group

The Benefice Prayer Group continues to pray for individuals, our community, our nation and the wider world. If you have a prayer request, please let us know. If you do not want your prayer request distributed to the Prayer Group (i.e. for the Vicar only to pray) please specify this in your request. Prayer requests can be sent to any member of the group or to the Vicar.
