On the first Sunday in Lent at 10am, we welcome Sarah Edwards, Executive Director of the Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility (ECCR).

Sarah has worked in global advocacy and social justice campaigns for two decades, focusing on tackling the environmental crisis and global poverty together. She has worked on a range of human rights and justice issues, including the Jubilee Debt Campaign, Anti=Slavery International and Healthy & Poverty Action.

After the service, we will introduce our Lent at Home Bible Study, based on EECR’s ‘Money Makes Change’.

From Sarah Dallas

As children of our heavenly Father, who knows us so well and loves us completely

Let us pray.

Almighty God

As we start our journey through Lent, we pray for a deepening personal faith. We pray for discernment and wisdom. In our daily lives and obligations, we ask you to guide us in making wise choices that have a healthy impact on our community and our planet.

Lord hear us

Lord graciously Hear us

Heavenly Father

We pray for the church of St Peter De Beauvoir, for Father Simon and all the congregation. We pray that everyone who passes by or comes into St Peter’s, receive your blessing of peace.

Lord hear us

Lord graciously hear us

Father, with you all things are possible. We pray for all those who suffer, those whose lives are in chaos or despair. Today, we pray especially for the people of Ukraine. We pray for an end to conflict, and for a commitment to peace, in that region and across the world.

Lord Hear us

Lord graciously hear us

Almighty God

We pray for those we love, for those we see each day and for those we miss.

Help us to cherish one another this Lent, as we live the loving way of your commands.

Lord Hear us

Lord graciously hear us

Heavenly Father, we commend to your eternal presence those who have recently died, and those whose anniversary falls at this time. We pray especially for the souls of Abel Esien, Joan Edmonds, Henry James Ayton, Jennie David, Edwin Davis and Jack Webb.

Rest eternal grant unto them O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon them.

Merciful Father, accept these prayers

For the sake of your Son

Our Saviour Jesus Christ.

AMEN
