For your prayers this week
- Heavenly Father, at the Jordan you revealed Jesus as your Son: may we recognise him as our Lord and know ourselves to be your beloved children; through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
- For our Diocesan Link in Sudan: Lord, give a sign of your goodness to the Sudanese people and, as we enter a new year, renew their hope that a better future is possible. Protect those who work for justice and freedom, strengthen those who face injustice daily, and embolden a new generation of activists to believe that freedom is possible. Amen.
- For the Holy Land: God, you are the shepherd of Israel and Palestine. We pray to you as our faithful God of mercy, compassion and steadfast love. We are a people who desire peace and fear war. Change the hearts of those plotting death, destruction and devastation. Convert the souls of those who are motivated by violence and vengeance.

In Cononley we pray for all who live or work on Woodside Lane, Stockshott Lane, Swires Lane, Coppy Lane, Ings Lane, & Shady Lane.
|
- 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:

Are you called?
Do you feel called to help lead any of our services? Perhaps you feel you might want to help with a talk/sermon/reflection? Maybe you would like to help with pastoral visiting in the parish?
|
There are a number of very short courses (no essays required!), the diocese puts on to help you do these.
|
There is also a short course on leading intercessions that I would recommend all those currently leading intercessions to do as well.
|
If you are interested do have a chat with Rev'd Mike and have a look at more information here:

For Your Diary
|
|
|
|
|
In January we are looking for a working party to help us remove some of the clutter from St Andrew's Church and the upstairs of The Parish Rooms, to allow us to develop our spaces a bit better. Could this be you?
|
|
If so please speak to Rev'd Mike, Sandie or Joan.
