Prayers

We pray for:​

• the ongoing situation in Israel/Palestine. For peace and a cessation to the fighting. We especially pray for all trying to offer humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza as they face starvation and a lack of medical care

• all who are ill in hospital, waiting for test results or      surgery, especially those  known to us from  our fellowship

• all bereaved families mourning the loss of loved ones

• the people of Ukraine as the war continues

  Amen​

A prayer for Israel-Palestine, from the President and Vice-President of Conference:

​

God of peace and compassion,
We pray for all impacted by the escalation in conflict in Israel-Palestine
For all who are mourning
For all who are fearful, today, and for what may lie ahead
For all traumatised and re-traumatised by what they have experienced.
Enable us to stand in solidarity with people of peace.
May your Spirit bring peace and healing to your troubled world. 

Amen

​

​

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;

He burns the shields with fire.
“Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.”
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Psalm 46, v1 & v9-11
