Intercessions

From Paul Snow

Let us pray together, giving thanks that we have redemption through the blood of Christ and may serve the living God.

Let us pray for all who minister to us, giving thanks for their ministry.

Today, we pray especially for those who preside at our services and for Father Simon as he prepares to join us.

Lord, meet us in the silence … and hear our prayer.

We pray for the leaders of all nations of the world as they or their representatives prepare to meet in Glasgow.

Lord, meet us in the silence … and hear our prayer.

Let us hold in our prayers the troubled or sick in body or mind.  May faith in God calm their fears and give them hope.

Lord, meet us in the silence … and hear our prayer.

We remember those who have died, especially those who have died alone or in tragic circumstances.

Let us also remember those whose year’s mind falls at this time including Elsie Evelyn Webb.

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

Let us pray that, in the coming weeks, we may truly love the Lord our God and love our neighbours as ourselves.

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