Here’s what some of the people of St Luke’s are praying for this week – you might like to add your own prayers too.
Praise and Thanksgiving.
Praise God for the many volunteers who are active in our community and church.
Thankyou Lord, that our buildings are again open, and being used by community groups.
We give thanks for new babies arriving in our community this week
Praise God that Shaghek has successfully started a play group for recently arrived mums and bubs, and for the ministry of advocacy and support she is providing to families as they seek housing in a very difficult rental market.
Prayers for others
For the health and well-being of everyone receiving the COVID vaccinations and for those responsible in administering the roll out.
For friends and family who maybe feeling emotionally fragile, also those we know who are unwell and receiving treatment. Our thoughts and prayers are with their caregivers and the professionals supporting them.
We pray for peace in countries where many suffer from cold and hunger. May the hearts of their leaders be filled with a desire for understanding and resolution rather than conflict.
Our special prayers are with families who are separated by distance and for those who have come to our shores for protection and safety. Lord bless them with reassurance as we support them.
