We pray for peace among the nations, that God may rid the world of violence and let peoples grow in justice and harmony, we pray especially for those engulfed in fighting in Iraq.

We pray for those who serve in public office, that they may work for the common good, especially we pray for the officials in Iran that they use their nuclear knowledge for good and not evil.

We pray for Christian people everywhere, that we may joyfully proclaim and live our faith in Jesus Christ, especially we pray for those working in ministry let them be guided by your Holy Spirit

We pray for those who suffer from hunger, sickness or loneliness, that the presence of Christ may bring them all that they need, especially we pray for those providing support, shelter and food to the people who have lost their homes in the recent Tsunami in the Solomon Islands.
We also pray for those that are on our own pew sheet and we ask that you stretch out your hand to bring comfort and peace.

Lord, hear us

In a moment of silence (or out loud) we pray for those that are close to us and need our prayers and those that we no longer see but remember……..

Let us commend ourselves and all for whom we pray to the mercy and protection of God

Merciful Father, accept these our prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
