For your prayers this week

  • Merciful God, you are righteous and love justice: stir the hearts of your people that, rejoicing in our diversity, we may repent of the wrongs of the past, and, by your grace, seek the peaceable kingdom of your Son, Jesus Christ.
  • For our Diocesan Link in Sudan and for The Holy Land:
    Lord Jesus,
    while you hung in agony,
    in your innocence crucified,
    you cried to your Father,
    'My God, my God,
    why have you forsaken me?'
    In the midst of such great darkness
    be among the suffering in your world,
    and be their light in the darkness.
    Lord, have mercy. Amen.
  • In Cross Hills we pray for all who live or work on Lothersdale Road, Park Road, Highgate, Baxter Wood, Wheatlands Lane, & Aireview Terrace.
  • We pray for all involved in the stories we have seen or heard on the news this week.
  • We pray for all who are ill, in body mind or spirit.
  • We pray for all who have died, and for their bereaved family and friends.
And our prayer for growth:

God of Mission,
who alone brings growth to your Church,
Send your Holy Spirit to give
Vision to our planning,
Wisdom to our actions,
And power to our witness.
Help your church to grow in numbers,
In spiritual commitment to you,,
And in service to our local community,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Services across the parish

I have had many comments over the last 18 months that people really enjoy our united parish services on the 5th Sunday of the month.
