Loving God help people to adjust to this new world.
Show us how to live and trust and share differently.
“All things new” is a huge stretch for us.
But we know it is your good gift to us.
We will embrace it and we will give thanks to you. Amen.
Take care and thank you for who you are and all you do. Be blessed.
Joyce, Priest-in-Charge
Prayers
Can we please pray for all students, staff and volunteers returning to
their places of education in the next few weeks. It has been a very difficult
time for all in this sector. We pray that they will be safe and able to
focus on their learning and new life together in this time of pandemic.
We pray for all whose employment is under threat. We trust that God
will surround them with wise and resourceful people to guide them
through these uncertain times.
Please give thanks to God for placing us in this part of Maidstone and for
all the churches who serve alongside us. May we all be beacons of light,
love and hope in the months and years to come. May we serve our
neighbours and one another faithfully.
We also pray for an end to this virus and for all those working hard to
find a vaccine. We pray, we trust and we put our hope in the Lord.
