For your prayers this week

  • Creator God, you have generously blessed us with the good gifts of your creation and entrusted us to care for its abundance. Help us to live in ways that ensure your gifts will be available for the next generation. O God, help us to share in your love for the whole of Creation.
  • 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 Sudan & the Holy Land, and be their light in the darkness. Lord, have mercy. Amen.
  • In Cononley we pray for all who live or work on Sun Street, Garth Fold, New Inn Fold, Aireside Terrace, & Meadow Close.
  • 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.

Dates for your diary

Tim Lee from Jigsaw will be joining us at St John's Cononley on 14th April for our United Parish Communion Service. Please do get this date in your diary as we hear about the fantastic work Jigsaw is doing. There will also be a Bring and Share meal after the service where we can keep our discussions with Tim going.

Confirmation

Bishop Toby is coming to the parish in July to lead a confirmation service. If you have never been baptised and/or confirmed, and are interested in finding out more, contact Rev'd Mike.

Parking at St Andrew's

Over the next week a sign will be installed in the car park at St Andrew's asking for a donation from people who park there. It also suggests how to park courteously. This sign is not aimed at those attending church, but those who park there for recreational purposes. It is also a way of trying to keep the car park as free as possible for church services.
